This photograph of toothpaste is the reason for the "etc" in the title of this post.
The reason for the photograph of toothpaste is that it is not actually "toothpaste" but "Super Shakti Dental Cream."
I couldn't decide whether or not it was imitation Colgate, but it was expensive enough, so I'm hoping for the best.
[I just typed "shakti" into Google translate. It did not recognize it as Hindi. When I manually set the languages, it still told me "shakti" in English is "shakti." So I went to dictionary.com and learned the following:
Shak·ti /ˈʃʌkti/ Show Spelled[shuhk-tee]
noun Hinduism .
1. the female principle or organ of generative power.
2. the wife of a deity, especially of Shiva. Compare Divine Mother.
Now I suspect I'm gonna go look up "Shakti" on Wikipedia. Oh, the dangers of internet...] |
