Week 9 Video Version Part 1

I decided to watch the Mahabharata on youtube. I thought it would be a nice change of pace to watch something instead of reading it. Since I am more of a visual learner this made it much easier to conceptualize what was happening. King Shantanu is very sad when his wife kills their child by drowning it. He finds out that they were heavenly beings that needed to escape from their bodies. He is also very sad when his wife leaves with the last child. I feel bad for the king. I had missed the first time Devavrat taming the river with his arrows. Some of the ways people think things came to be are pretty funny. It is hard to even imagine a river stopped by arrows let alone one as big as the Ganges. I feel bad for the king he is never going to find happiness it seems.





How I watched my videos ;)

A quick example is how the NBA is going toward more 3's and layups/dunks because from an efficiency stand point they are the best shots to take. The sport I like more than the NBA is football. The NFL is the superior football league compared to college. Many people enjoy college football mo...
