Dear Darsh
When you were younger you used to ask me questions about the
planets and the solar system. So I got us a book and we spend many a pleasant afternoons
poring over the pages.
Then you got obsessed with flags and maps and an atlas it
was for us. And so on… until yesterday. Now I don’t know what books to buy for
us. You are 3 months shy of your 6th bday but your questions have become slightly difficult for me to answer.
After a very long time we had read a Krishna book cover to
cover last evening so I was waiting for the questions about people in Vrindavan but I wasn’t prepared for what
was to follow… You asked me some peculiar questions regarding the digestive
system. I will be honest. I never thought about such things. Some of your
questions: if the water we drink gets converted to pee, then who colors it
yellow? If the food that we consume make our poo then who shapes them? And why
do they float? Also what makes us fart and burp…
And it didn’t end there. You wanted to know what makes up a
storm and what is the difference between a hurricane and a tornado? I am still
looking for books which will give me these answers. We did try to tell you that
god makes the wind blow in different directions thus making hurricane and
tornado but you just stared at us in a very strange manner. Like you knew we didn’t
know the answers.
So I reached out to people at higher levels today and tonight you will
skype with your elder brother who will try to unravel all these mysteries for
you. His mom assures me that he knows all the answers and then some... Let’s see how that goes. In
the meantime I am looking up the books online again.
Did i tell i i love you? I do :*
