Week 10 Reading B: The War Begins

This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts from pages 133-179 of The Mahabharata retold by R.K. Narayan. 

• I hate Duryodhana.  He is the new Ravana. 
• Is that really supposed to make a mother feel better?  Don't worry I'll only attack one of your sons.  
• NOOOOOOOO. Bhishma.  Dang it Arjuna fight honorably.  
• Oh Krishna sneaky sneaky.  Reminds of a scene in the movie Hocus Pocus where they trick the witches into thinking it's sunrise by shining car lights through the window.  
• So I guess invincible weapons break after one use?
• For Krishna who first wanted to make peace before the war, he's fighting dirty.  
• Woah Bhima.  Early vampire?  
• Should've listened to Krishna.  He is merciless.  
• Does Krishna get karma for lying and killing everyone?!
• Moral of the story: Never kill ANY animals. 
• Well.  I guess being killed because you were mistaken for an animal is the perfect karma.
