Most Hindu children are aware that the Hindu mythology includes The Trinity. This includes Brahma the creator, Vishnu the presever, and Shiva the destroyer.
I am sure it comes as a surprise that they live in our residence in Brookeville, Maryland!
Jannavi is a great cook. She is a great person to plan events with. In fact Maalini's birthday party is an event adults enjoy as much as the children. One particular one involved live reptiles include a 20 feet Boa Constrictor! Another one involved children digging for fossils in dirt that was brought from the Chesapeake Bay! Yet another one involved a lecture on various types of rocks followed by children breaking a Geode and finding an assortment of beautiful, colored crystals. She is the Brahma in our household.
Now all this planning and creativity leaves loose ends. The house is usually in a mess. To the rescue comes yours truly. I like cleaning the kitchen after folks have had their meals. I like the process of loading a dishwasher and seeing the sink all clean. I like sweeping the floor of crumbs after a meal. I also like to ensure that bad plans do not take shape. I make sure that expensive plans are vetoed before they become a reality. In short I represent the Vishnu of my household.
This leads to a short para on how all stories end in our house. Once upon a time there was an IPod. It was nice, It worked well. It was well used by J, D, and I. It attracted the attention of Maalini. She took it. The end! The end of the IPod!
As you can see, M represents the Shiva of our household. She has to come near something for that to stop working or worse, break. And she always says "but it was an accident"!
The Hindu mythology includes the most powerful goddess Shakti that literally means power. She is so powerful; the mythology speaks of her being all of the above, creator as mother, Preserver, and Destroyer as Kali. And that is my older daughter, Devi, which everyone knows means Goddess!
