Wow! Sure takes all the fun out of baby-making!<br /> muahahahahahahhha!!! this post totally rocked m4. It resonated each and every little awe and confusion that cptivated me as a child and it still does. mahabharata never fails to awe, and never fails to make my blood boil, esp over some feminist and justic issues :D. <br />Mishmash still hasn;t questioned me- not yet. when she does, i know who to ping !The Ketchup Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05064255148939739911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445792635987788443.post-14764860714413462142009-10-21T18:00:25.934+05:302009-10-21T18:00:25.934+05:30@ soin: I am with you! He really should have gotte...@ soin: I am with you! He really should have gotten the Sahitya Award or something by now! But this is India, my friend, where deserving people are often over-looked. But then, if Obama can be considered for the Nobel, then what is left to say?<br /><br />@ happyfeet: Well, I didn't make a production out of it and tried to downplay the gore. I said Shiva didn't Know that Ganesha was His Son and because His Trishul was so powerful, it couldn't put back what it had taken apart...so They needed another head. And if not the elephant's head, then where would the Adorable Ganesha that we all know and love, be? I think it made sense to him, because he sat back and thought about it and didn't ask me anything else. Phew!<br /><br />@ WJ: Aaah! Sister of my heart! Oh avid ACK lover, thank you for your kind words :)<br /><br />@ Annie: Mythology is so interesting if for nothing else but the kind of fantasy trips and imagination that they inspire. I would really suggest reading some Amar Chitra Katha comics. They are beautifully illustrated and delightful to read. As for the Mahabharatha, try a consice, abridged vesrion first...see if you like it. Come back to me if you want to discuss anything, I'd be only too happy!<br /><br />@ Hey newmum! Thanks for dropping by! Please see my answer to 'happyfeet' above. I hope that helps!<br /><br />@ Namesake: Yes! I've heard many good things about this flick. Simply must watch it!

As if you are reading about lets say God xyz, it will have hundred referances, of events or people or gods i wouldnt know of, and I would not really be able to understand. <br /><br />You know how montheistic religions are, especially Islam. The idea of God having any characteristic remotely human is considered blasphamous. So the little bit of hindy mythology, and stories of Krishna and Radha I heard I was able to guess that they must not be taken literally to understand the essense of them .. but thats just me shooting in the dark..<br /><br />Please tell me a good website or a book (which hopefully i can find here. Having no hindus here can be a pain)...I would love to know more. :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603867355876030251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445792635987788443.post-3073061774974767462009-10-16T08:32:50.601+05:302009-10-16T08:32:50.601+05:30BTW, saw a news article today, of a new ACK series...BTW, saw a news article today, of a new ACK series aimed at younger kids, probably 8 and under.
