[did you know?] [who is ronjie?] Ranjit - My Indian name?

When a friend of my mother heard what my name was, she reacted, “that’s an Indian sounding name, much like the name of !” I think she was referring to the Indian name, Ranjit. When I was in India for the 2nd time, I asked an Indian colleague, what does Ranjit mean? He said that “Ran” and “Jit” are actually two words that literally translate to “battlefield” and “won.” I thought, wow, I’m a winner! :-D
