Your first name of Amitava has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. You desire to be spontaneous and artistic but there are qualities in your first name that restrict your imaginative, creative talents and make you deliberate and careful. You enjoy sharing, giving, and creating, and you find your reward in seeing happiness in others. While you can be exacting and thorough in whatever you decide to undertake, and desire to keep a well-ordered life with everything in its place, it is not easy for you to maintain the system and order you would like. You want to plan and budget, and to maintain a well-ordered home, but it is difficult for you to follow through with your plans. This disparity creates frustration within you as you cannot consistently maintain the system and order you desire. You thrive on encouragement and appreciation from others, and kindness goes a long way in bringing out your naturally cheerful disposition. Although you would like to be natural in conveying emotional sentiments, you tend to be matter-of-fact and practical in expressions of appreciation for others. There is conflict between your desires and your expression which does not allow scope for your capabilities. This lack of fulfilment of your deeper qualities tends to create repression and frustration.
