I read Badarika Ashram from the Mahabharata. The first paragraph immediately grabbed my attention. The idea or rather the theme of Dhrtarastra's anxiety as he awaited the word of the Pandavas' exile. The Pandavas are an important part of the Mahabharata. The emotions when the King fears that his son will not become successful is a hard hitting emotion. However reading of the individuals around him and them not worrying due to this being a common occurrence. But still his sons did as they pleased. He quickly saw how his life events quickly got out of control due to his lack of remaining firm in regards to his sons actions. Allowing them to do as they wished and never being able to say no. Over all the story is creative and interesting. I am interested more in the Padavanas and the journey that they embark upon. The Padavana brothers as they endure all that their journey through the Himalayas is interesting and creative. The Himalayas Bibliography: To Badarīkā Ashra

Panic on the Maginot Line The French leaders all sat around the table. The German army was on the move. Quickly progressing through eastern Europe and rapidly making a move for the eastern French border. The leaders sitting at the table were discussing defense strategies to keep the Germany army from advancing into their territory. Some generals were saying "we need to go on the attack and push them back". Other generals were saying "The Maginot Line will hold off the Germans, we have nothing to fear". One general quietly sat on one end of the table and a said: "The Maginot Line is poorly fortified the Germans will simply go around it, we should be considering some alternate strategies to defend our great land". Positioned throughout this unruly crowd of "demon kings" all pushing for their ideas to be heard was the Field Marshal of the French Army. "We are on the eve of losing our great nation to Germany if we can not put faith in our cur

The Dice Game Chapter 19 The description and imagery used at the beginning was very interesting and showed well the great wealth and opulence of the area they were in.  I find it interesting maybe it is just the way things are these days but that they find their streets being wide to show wealth. I found it funny that they quoted "Gambling is the root of all misery" because that is true as when I go and gamble I always come back miserable. Even in their travels, they carry themselves in such a wealthy and "proud" manner displaying their wealth and power in any way possible. I see this whenever I go to the casinos and I read this here. "...although more skilled at the game, could not match his wealth and was thus not a suitable opponent for him". I find this funny because unless you made your money through gambling most people who throw around wads of cash typically loose. Dice Game Bibliography The Dice Game Chapter 19

The kidnapping of Sita This story is a tale of how too much power can be dangerous and should not be in the hands of certain individuals. Ravan is in a fit of rage seeking power in order to exact revenge. Revenge can be dangerous because it does not always fill the wound. Even after being warned Ravan still will be defeated. However, Ravana is so focused on what he wants and his power that he is blinded with a fit of rage and anger. This leads him to continue his focus on kidnapping Sita. Ravana's plan works but just barely. Sita is kidnapped after a fierce battle she is kidnapped. But knowing Rama and this story that will not last for long because Ravana will be killed over these actions. Ravana Kidnapping Sita Bibliography: Krishna Dharam  The Kidnapping of Sita Chapter 9
