Reading Notes: Part A- The Blind Bride


Biography; Based on The Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution by Epified TV (India) YouTube video series about Mahabharata. I focused on the blind bride video 
Princess Gandhari and Dhrtrasthra 

Princess Gandhari and Dhritarashtra A Beautiful Love Story

Possible Titles: Love Before Sight, Sacrifices of Love

The premise of this story is Gandhari's noble choice to blindfold herself so she too would be blind like her husband. I think it is her way of trying to walk in his shoes and also showing him that she is serious about their union and that she does not care whether he can see or not unlike her brother and father. Shakuni her brother was fierce about the decision Gandhari took, for him, she was ruining her life. He will be the villain/ antagonist in the story. All of Hastinapur was happy for them of course except her brother. I think it will be nice to explore more of the path and metal journey Gandhari went through when she made her decision. The video also states that she said she always knew her future husband would be blind.
Another take is what about if the role's were switched and Gandhari was the one who was bling and Dhritarashtra made the decision to blindfold himself

City view of Guanajuato, Mexico Taken by me  Hello everyone!! My name is Monica Avila, I was born in Guanajuato, Mexico and moved to the U.S. when I was five, I can speak Spanish, English and a little bit of Portuguese (currently learning). I am a senior here at OU (Wow can't believe I'm saying senior time flies by so fast). I am a Health and Exercise Science major. I'll be graduating this spring, my plans so far are to take a year off and work and travel a little maybe go for masters in health promotion but I'm still not sure yet. In the future, I hope to go to grad school for physical therapy and work with either the elderly or children. I love science and learning about the human body. The way the human body works and manages to keep us alive is so amazing, learning all the mechanics of it is one of my favorite parts of my major. Therefore, some of my favorite classes have been Human Anatomy and Exercise Physiology. Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, B

Week 3 Story: Love at First Sight

Wedding of Prince Rama and Princess Sita as depicted in 'The Ramayana' Image Source: Infinite Eyes in flicker I stood there for a moment staring at my reflection, my whole body embellished in the finest clothes and jewels. I still couldn't believe it, today is the day. My body was filled with nerves and excitement all at once. Suddenly a large smile adorned my face as I remembered our first encounter and the events that came after... After we successfully helped Vishvamitra win in the battle against the rakshasas, Lakshmana kept bothering me to accompany him in exploring the city. All I wanted to do was rest after the long day but after a lot of convincing I finally gave in. We were accompanied by a hermit and finally set out to explore the city of Mithila ruled by the great King Janaka. The city was beautiful and full of life and the smells from the marketplace filled our noses, we walked for a while and later made our way to  King Janaka's palace, where w
