Yesterday, my uncle, Diwakar Kale, passed away in Pune, India. It was a sad day for RSG. There are many fond memories of D.K., and he meant a lot to me. Diwakar Kaka was a person whom I could call "Light" uncle. His name had a meaning of a person who brings about "Light". Similarly, Divakar means "Sun" in Sanskrit. It may be related to Diwakar. On another note, names have different meanings. The R in RSG stands for Rahul. Rahul is a popular name in India. One of its meanings is "conqueror of all miseries" according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahul.
Another meaning of Rahul is "as bright as the sun." Rahul is the name uttered by Buddha, and it also means "bondage." If you have not read "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse, it is a must read. It depicts the real life of Buddha, yet it does not mention the name of Rahul in it. Rahul was the name of Buddha's son. Other well known people with the name of Rahul are Rahul Bose, Rahul Dravid, and Rahul Gandhi.
