Week 2 Reading Overview

INDIAN EPICS READINGS:

I have chosen the Ramayana by Narayana because I prefer to read things I can hold, and I've already bought the book!

Comic 1: Ganesha - I have chosen this one because the story and character of Ganesha seems fascinating.

I'm excited to learn about Ganesha!

Comic 2: Saraswati - I'm interested in comics that mostly surround women and their role in myths.

Video 1: Miracles of Lord Krishna - Interested in this because Krishna is one of the few names I was familiar with before starting this class, but I still don't know much about him.

Video 2: TEDxSydney: Fabulous Indian Tabla and Tanpur - I chose this because I've never seen a TED talk I didn't like.

Mrs. Crocodile was getting bigger every day with the little babies growing, and her husband had been up to more of his usual antics. She loved Mr. Crocodile, but sometimes she wondered how he managed before she came along. "Hello, honey," said Mrs. Piranha. "How are you today? Those little guys giving you a hard time?" "No, not bad. I'm just enjoying getting to eat all these delicious rolls... you know they're my favorite. All of these cravings have been so strange. Just the other day I had the most intense one for monkey's heart." "Monkey's heart?! Those pests are impossible to catch, but oh so delicious if you can manage to snag a bite....
