Name: Shashank Ramaprasad
DOB: 24 May
Sun sign: Gemini
Native to: Bangalore, India.
The word Shashank, like most Indian names, has a Sanskrit origin. Literally, it means... the one whose mark is the rabbit. Please don't get me wrong -- I have no rabbit mark anywhere on me. For those of you who are still wondering what in the world that means, Shashank simply means the moon. If you look at the full moon with your imaginative eyes wide open, you will see what I mean...
