Well well, have been tagged by Poppins and now I have to think of 8 things about me that you guys/gals don't know about.

1. I'm revoltingly scared of worms, of all hues, all sizes, furry ones, smooth ones, legged ones, non-legged ones, YUCK! one and all, they are absolutely disgusting!

2. I am not scared of snakes the way I'm scared of worms. Now what would Freud make of me, I wonder?

3. I could sometimes cheerfully strangle my husband (whom I married after i fell in love with him, yes!) when he surfs upto 20 channels in a sec, which is what he does all the time, pls believe me!

4. I can get so pissed with a person my fingers would shake with the emotion, and still manage to smile at them sweetly.

5. When I'm really really angry with my husband, tears spring to my eyes- its so irritating, he thinks he's upset me whereas I'm just MAD!

6. I can keep a secret, even if I'm dying to discuss it.

7. Am very very lacking on self-confidence. Truly. I could probably let people walk all over me and yet think that I was not accomodating enough. And then I can rave and rant at my husband that people are walking all over me. And make up dialogues in my mind to whittle that person/persons down to size.

8. I am a sucker for someone who requests my help, will genuinely help out even the person who backstabbed me, if he asks me for help.

Thank you, Poppin's Mom, I enjoyed doing that!
Now, I tag Whatsinaname and Agelessbonding... all the others I read already have tags attached to them...

Getting to know the family

In the course of his introduction to the Hindu Pantheon, I had recently introduced Sonny boy to Chottanikkara Bhagawati, and her chant-
Amme Narayana
Devi Narayana
Lakshmi Narayana
Bhadre Narayana.

He pronounces Devi as Baby, and this was what had led to his last query on the whereabouts of Baby Rama(he's only seen pics of Baby Krishna).He is particularly fond of 'Baby' Narayana, and I guess the fondness will last for at least as long as he continues to pronounce Devi as Baby. (I hope the fondness lasts lifelong )

Today I was telling him that She is the Mother Godess. I told him that She was like me- Amma- and he could go to Her with any grouse and She would take care of it if possible.Not wanting the Gods to feel left out, I also told him that the other male Gods were like Achcha, and they would also do likewise.

Up came the second query which had me stumped for a while- Amma, where is Muthashsh?

Unfortunately, Brahma has been cursed not to be worshipped in any temple. So I do not have the picture of the Creator to show him. But I suppose I CAN tell him that Brahma is the father of all the Gods and Godesses and hence the Muthasshan (grandfather) of my dear little son?

I eagerly await the next question that emerges out of Sonny boy's experiments with prayer and Gods and Godesses

My son wanted to know today while praying- Amma, where is Baby Rama? Why is there only Baby Krishna, where is Baby Rama? Answers, anyone?
