leenadll, in Hindu mythology, there are gods and goddess for anything you want.
There are lots of squirrels in India. Noisy ones at that. They can raise quite a din when they're in the mood.

Biswa,
Goddess Friday meaning the goddess of wealth around this part of the country.
Kurtha ! Too old for kutta !

I know, but wouldn't be bad to have a Norwegian alias. Sorry I meant Frigga after whom Friday is named.
