The Name Bala...

Do anyone of you remember when you're in primary school doing some mathematics questions or some problem solving questions. You always see this name BALA. I was so use to this name that I thought it's just a name my teachers made it up like some other simple name Jack, John or Sam.

Guess what... I saw this Indian guy in army uniform on my bus journey to school and his name is BALA. I was thinking, so Bala is really a person name not something that's made up just to write some crap on the question paper.
