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 7 Story: The Undying Battle

Author's Notes This story focuses on the events that happened during the conflict of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. The main battles can be seen in this story 1 . I found that the fighting in this war was primarily focused around where the generals were fighting, and less so about the actual infantry on the ground. One particular sentence inspired me to write this story, "Terrible were the omens, for headless men rose up and fought against one another". The concept of the dead fighting each other while a horrific war was happening was something that I wanted to elaborate on further. The Undying Battle An ancient prophecy of old once spoke of the days to come, of a great horror and darkness that would befall upon the world. The prophecy read:   A day will come when the bonds of blood will break.   Mothers' sons locked in celestial conflict.   Endless darkness will fall upon the sky,   and a disease will inflict those already gone... I awake again to
