Todd: Right, right.

Nitya: You just see them in different forms. That's it so.

Todd: Oh, OK, well of the different forms, which is a more popular one? Which is a very common one?

Nitya: I think Shiva because they say he's the, he created the earth so

Todd: Shiva.

Todd: Wow, interesting. OK, and is your town, is it big, is it small, is it medium-sized?

Nitya: I think, it's like medium, not very big, not very small.

Todd: OK, so sounds like a good place. Do you see yourself living there forever when you get older?

Nitya: I wish but I don't think so, I don't think that I will be there, for my life?

Todd: Oh, why?
