Reading Notes: Epified; Mahabharata Videos, Part B

Really enjoying these videos!!

Kunti leaving Karna at the riverbank always gets me. 

Girls supporting girls. Kunti helped her sister-wife have kids too. Also, love the birth stories of all the sons of Pandu. But, I think Kunti should have just told Pandu about Karna at this time. Pandu would have gladly accepted him as his own. Maybe I could try doing a story like that and writing Pandu's reaction to the news.

Kunti was a supermom though.

I don't remember the 100 sons story very well. But it was interesting to see how the Kauravas came to be. They were born to be little trouble makers but their blind parents couldn't tell. 

Bhima was surrounded by snakes, but he broke free from them. I could do a retelling of this by making the snakes people who are fake and back stab Bhima. With the help from this brothers, he realizes the true nature of these "snakes" and frees himself from them. Also, what are the chances that Bhima meets a snake king that he's related to him?? 

Drona was corrupt. He let his need for Arjuna to best archer get in the way of the basic human principles. I hate the he took Ekalavya's right thumb, thereby ruining any chance the boy had at a good life. I would like to see what happened to Ekalavya after that moment? Did he survive? Was he angry? Did he want revenge?
