So I am talking to my 10-year-old, and she is a terror.
She refuses to read unless it's on her terms. Now she has taken to reading ACK (Amar Chitra Katha) on a prodigious basis....and the best part is she seems to remember very complex stories (like Mahabharata with its 100+ characters) seems to remember them well.
So she is talking to me the other day. And this is how our chat goes.
She: Have been reading stories about Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva.
Me: Good. And.....
S: It's funny (that's the phrase she uses!!).
M: Why? (I am intrigued)
S: Brahma's only job is to give random people boons.
M: Hmmmm (listening)
S: He gives boons to completely evil folks. And then Vishnu has to come in and solve the issue always.
M: Always?
S: Yes. Without Brahma - half of mythology ACK won't exist.
At this point, I burst out laughing. Honestly, I had never made this strange observation. It's right, she is correct?
