Anika was born on the 30th of December, 2004, at 4:40pm in El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, California. At birth, she was 20 inches tall and weighed 7lb 2oz. Much to the chagrin of her Mom, she missed being a year younger by 2 days, while Dad was happy to get the tax break for the year.

For the non-Hindu: Anika = Goddess Durga = The supreme form for creative energy.
