If u dont know of ur name Puru, then it is the name of the brave king who was defeated by Alexander the great when he came to conquer India. He is also known as Porus. This is the history.
But, when he was requested to express his wish in from of Alexander, then he spoke with pride that "Even if defeated, I am the King and u should give the respect." These words appealed to Alexander and he gave the empire back to him. This is may be the legand.

No, Mr. Puru Sharma, this isn't a 'special' topic', it is a branched off-topic discussion for you all to not ruin an existing topic.

I never asked you to, we use nicknames here, and real names only if the person doesn't mind, just for a better level of intimacy. It's fine you can keep your name a secret.
