Mythology stories
Yesterday bringing back my daughter from her Maths tuition in the midst of her non stop excited briefing of the day, suddenly she asked me, "Dada, what does my name mean? 2 of my classmates asked me" while I have explained this before too, I did it once again Nikitha is a name of sanskrit origin meaning Earth-Bhoomi. Haven't you heard Bhoomi Devi - Sita's mother. She asked me, "Did you learn this in school?" In her school ISKON sponsors something, so they're allowed to tell stories from their version of the Puranas to the kids. I told her - No. 1 didn't learn this in my school. How could I explain about Uncle Pai who gave us Pai & Co.,the comic books - Amar Chitra Katha, Jataka tales, Tales from the Panchatantra, Poombatta etc? My growing up years were very colourful with these, Ambili Ammavan-which I missed from the list above, and of course Indrajal comics. We read it, exchanged it, stole it, fought for it
