Maybe I was listening to Scandinavian metal band like Children of Bodom or Ensiferum which suddenly got him into my mind.
And as it so often happens one thought links to another and it happened here.... I was reminded of one interesting object associated with most of the Gods... their famous weapons... it always appears in our imagination .. when we think of Gods... their picture holding their weapons...
Consider Thor with him hammer.... 
Looking at Zeus witha bolt of lightening in his hand , 
Ares with his spear, 
Aphrodite with her beauty,.Indra with his Vajra, Shiva's Trident, Krishna with his Chakra......... or even the fictional Kratos.. from God of War fame.. with his Blades of Chaos.
Weapons ar always associated with the Gods.. its like their trump card... they put it on when they really got their arse beaten up by the devils or whoever.....
But this gave me another interesting thought about our imagination... or I shoud say the way different Gods are presented to us...!!!
For instance.. when u think of Thor.. u will imagine an all muscular God in an attacking stance really about to smash someone with his Hammer.. great viking crown..
Zeus.. u'll picturize as white robes.. about to electrocute someone with his lightning bolt... again an agressive picture..
Similar with the likes of Kratos and Ares and of course the Titans.
Titans is a topic which has always fascincated me. Will probably write a blog abt it later.
Back to my topic, reagarding God's impressions in our mind... thinking of Indian Gods....
Why are they never standing as if they are abt to hit someone...
Have u ever seen Indra with a Vakra in his hands.. he will just stand at one place with Vajra mayyyybe shown in the picture rusting besides him..
Ever seen Shiva throwing a Trident... or even poking it into someone's... whatever..
Or Krishna really abt to cut someone's throat with his Chakra.... nope he just used a lot of Glue to keep it so stable in his finger...
Nope.. all of them would be standing there.. weapons in their hands.... lots of hands.. yeah another things with Indian gods.. they have multiple hands but .. .. I dont know why they need them... multiple heads in case of Bramha.. birdwatching.
And ohh.. all of them would always have a niiiiiiice grin on their faces...
Somietimes I am like... what the hell are they grinning about.. thanks Goodness its just a grin.. if they would be stading like that showing their teeth... would have been a candidate in comedy circus...
Newayyyyyyyysss.... just some thought tht came to my mind...
More to come...
