Stupid allergies. “Gods bless you,” Rishi said. Dimple arched an eyebrow. “Gods?” He nodded sagely. “As a Hindu, I’m a polytheist, as you well know.” Dimple laughed. “Yes, and I also know we still only say ‘God,’ not ‘gods.’ We still believe Brahma is the supreme creator.” Rishi smiled, a sneaky little thing that darted out before he could stop it. “You got me. It’s my version of microaggressing back on people.” “Explain.” “So, okay. This is how it works in the US: In the spring we’re constantly subjected to bunnies and eggs wherever we go, signifying Christ’s resurrection. Then right around October we begin to see pine trees and nativity scenes and laughing fat white men everywhere. Christian iconography is all over the place, constantly in our faces, even in casual conversation. This is the bible of comic book artists . . . He had a come to Jesus moment, all of that stuff. So this is my way of saying, Hey, maybe I believe something a little different. And every time someone asks me why ‘gods,’ I get to explain Hinduism.” Dimple chewed on this, impressed in spite of herself. He actually had a valid point. Why was Christianity always the default? “Ah.” She nodded, pushing her glasses up on her nose. “So what you’re saying is, you’re like a Jehovah’s Witness for our people.” Rishi’s mouth twitched, but he nodded seriously. “Yes. I’m Ganesha’s Witness. Has a bit of a ring to it, don’t you think?”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sandhya Menon" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sandhya-menon/she-inhaled-deeply-and-sneezed-stupid-allergies-gods-bless-you-rishi/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/62f/sandhya-menon-18831_comic-book_she-inhaled-deeply-and-sneezed-stupid-al_2469940.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/62f/sandhya-menon-18831_comic-book_she-inhaled-deeply-and-sneezed-stupid-al_2469940.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/62f/sandhya-menon-18831_comic-book_she-inhaled-deeply-and-sneezed-stupid-al_2469940.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“She inhaled deeply—and sneezed.
