Week 2 Reading Overview

I will be reading from the Tiny Tales of Ramayana. I find it very cool that our professor, Laura Gibbs, has written a book specifically for this class that tells the interesting stories in near 100 words.
The two comic books that caught my eye was Stories of Courage because of the cover picture of a sheep standing up for the herd against a tiger, and secondly Temples of India because I have always been fascinated with temples and pyramids.  
The two videos that caught my eye was Ancient Technology because I love learning about how people back then carried out tasks without the technology we have these days, and secondly Underwater Cities because that just seems like it is impossible even to this day so I am curious how to do this.
Dasaratha's sacrifice to get sons
I chose this picture because it looks like a mural that you would see on the wall of one of the ancient temples and wonder what the meaning of it was.

I am extremely grateful that PepsiCo was able to continue this opportunity because I had a couple friends who's internships were completely cancelled. In doing this internship, I recei

 The Pandava's The Pandava's, consisting of Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva, are the five sons of Pandu. Three of the sons, Yudhishthira, Bhima, and Arjuna, were birthed by Kunti, who mated with three different gods, as commanded by Pandu. The two remaining sons, Nakula and Sahadeva, were born by Mardi, who had the sons with the Ashwins.  These five sons escape from Hastinapura, where Dhiritarashtra is king. Duryodhana, the son of Dhiritarashtra, is very upset to hear the news that the Pandava's are still alive. As for the king himself, he cannot find a reason to dislike them. Dhiritarashtra being the king, he decideds that he would like to see the Pandava's again and proceed to invite them back to Hastinapura. In order to gain the Pandava's trust, Dhiritarashtra gives them a part of the kingdom for them to rule themselves. This part of the kingdom becomes known as Indraprastha.  Yudhishthira is crowned the king of Indrapratha. Many people attend th
