an Experience of the kind.. oh i missed...!

I slept at 1.30 to be woken up by a call at 9.30 due to which I woke up (early in the morning) in a bad mood. Saw that the number calling was a Bangalore landline and immediately i knew it was for the PG inquiry and i couldnt ignore it :( I received the call with an angry air on my face and heard a warm, gentle, amiable, understanding, lovely, sexy, luminous voice saying, "Am Captain Suraj calling from The Navy."
There!!! mere kaan aise khade ho gaye jaise wo mere nahin, kisi pomeranian kutte ke hno! I promptly replied with a "Good morning, Sir!" and we spoke of all the details pertaining to the PG I run at Bangalore. He inquired of the place, surrounding area, facilities and everything else a man of virtue would look out for a good friend's daughter.
All through the conversation i made sure i blabbered nowhere, missed no words and stumbled upon no stupid words... kept the conversation brisk, intact, to-the-point and beautiful, just as a Naval Officer would prefer to hear.
Finally, there arrived the time when he had an option to ask my name - the beautiful and one and only 'Hoo'. And i neatly, being obedient to my profession and business requirements, in a clear and steady voice (as a Naval Officer would like to hear) said, "Priya".
Sshhit!!!
Wha the...
I had a chance to tell my original name and make sure the person gets interested in my name (and then, Me!). But what a fool had i been! I know am supposed to give out my name as Priya when am attending inquiry calls, but this one..!

I have repented 5 hours hence. Of course he said he will come in to visit the PG tomorrow, but do u think I will ever be able to tell him I am Hoo, and not Priya...?
PG is in Bangalore and I stay in Dharwad.

I missed... !
