Ritwik (Rtwk) : The modern fashionable name for male children During the last couple of years, I had met with a few young friends and relatives, who have named their sons “Ritwik”. I asked them how and why they have chosen that name. Their uniform reply was that they found it on the internet, it looked new, and meant “scholarly”. Following the dictum of the Taitriya Upanishad, I accepted their reply but wanted them to probe a little deeper. This article is an enabler for the same.
