I have been wondering and asking questions about God to my parents. Once during one of my autorickshaw trips, I revealed my conception of God.
pAdukA - ammA, namba Mahabharat munnAdi povomA? (will we reach home before Mahabharat (T.V. serial) starts? )
ammA - povom nnu ninaikaren ( I think we will reach )
pAdukA - enakku Krishna oomachi ya irukkanum ( I want to be like Lord Krishna )
ammA - yen (why?)
pAdukA - nee paarthayA Krishna oomaachi andha pAtti ya seripanna (Did you see Lord Krishna made the old lady ok (meaning he made her hunchback go away))
ammA - ammAm pArthen (yes I saw)
pAdukA- eppadi pannA (How did he do it?)
ammA - silent hoping something in the road will distract her (too hard to explain.Don't know how to handle the topic)
pAdukA - ammA, sollu (ammA, tell me )
ammA - still silent
pAdukA starts rambling
pAdukA - Krishna oomachikku mindla best scientist and best doctor irukaa nnu ninaikaren (I think there is the best scientist and the best doctor in Lord Krishna's mind)
pAdukA - adhaan ellam seri panna mudiyum oomachiyala. (that's why he is able to solve everything)
pAdukA - naan scientist and doctor aatum think pannen na, naan Krishna oomachi aaidalaam. naanum ellarukkum help pannalaam (If I think like a scientist and doctor, then I will also become Lord Krishna and help everyone)
pAdukA - ammA hard work panna best scientist and doctor aagalaamaa ? (Can I become the best scientist and doctor if I work hard?)
ammA - yeah sure (relieved that pAdukA found her own interpretation of God)
