In Kannada bombat means superb.

In my school days, I used to play lot of cricket. I was a stubborn batsman. I could bat whole day and they just could not get me out. Not that I made lot of runs, just stubborn. And they started calling me bombatt - superb batsman - Bom'Bat'- I put one extra 't' at the end just like that.

To this date many of my old classmates don't know my real name. Whenever I bump across them, they call me - hey bombat...

Vasudeva is just another name of the Lord and has many meanings, one of them is one who resides in all things and in whom all things reside. Although the name implies someone from South India, I am from North. My signature is also one of the Lord's sayings.
