Reading Options

PDE Ramayana - I think I will be reading the online versions of the PDE Ramayana found here. For one they are free, which is always appreciated. Secondly, they are very easy to access and each story has a preface explaining what the section is going to cover.

Pattanaik. Ganesha - 99 Thoughts on Ganesha - I feel like reading this in the second half of the semester would allow me to better understand the influence that Ganesha has, and the 'multiple meanings' that he embodies. Elephants are cool, the extra arms help too.

Amar Chitra Katha - Kumbhakarna: The Sleeping Giant - Okay, so ignoring the entire context of this picture (war, picking up/stepping on people) Kumbhakarna looks really happy to be awake. I think it would be fun to read this ACK Comic book from the Bizzell Reserves and learn more about him. The image is from here.

It is a weird to call a Rubik's Cube a twisty puzzle, but that is what it is. I say this because there is a large amount of

Week 12 Story: When the World Changes

Author’s Notes: Read First – This story is based on the God Narayan. In short, Narayan is the God Vishnu when he is asleep. The world is nothing when Vishnu closes his eyes, as then there is no observer of the world. Yet when Narayan awakes from his slumber, the world comes into existence again. The source video that is story is sourced from can be found below. I really like the idea of a new world coming into existence each time Narayan opened his eyes. I wanted to put a twist on this by making the world change slightly each time as I imagine it is hard to remember every detail to perfection. When the World Changes Day 0: Do you ever get the feeling that something is off? Or have the feeling that you are being watched? That tingling sensation on the back of your neck, but only when you turn around nothing is there. Yeah, well, that has been happening to me a lot lately. I am scared, and I am ready to put an end to this. Day 1: Yesterday I went to Best Buy
