There is no future. There is no past. Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet.

My Name is Bus-Car!

My name "Bhaskar" Means "shining", derived from a combination of Sanskrit भास (bhasa) "light" and कर (kara) "making". This is another name of the sun and the Hindu god Shiva.

There is 12th-century Indian astronomer, also known as Bhaskaracharya.

And how these firangs in the US of A like to address me during many of my conversations with them? Follows:

Bus-Car (Most popularly pronounced by the firangs)
Byeas-ker
bhaash-ker
bas-kar (Like in Hindi - "Bas - kar")

These were the most commonly called names. If you can get creative, I would sure like to hear some!
