Week 12: Reading Diary A

Buck's Mahabharata
Reading Notes: Pages 93-138
Notes and Thoughts:


  • Yudhishthira is seriously an idiot for gambling not only his worldly possessions, but also his brothers and HIMSELF. I'm not against gambling when you're betting like $10-20... but when you start getting addicted and bet important things like your possessions and PEOPLE. That's taking it WAY too far. 
  • I'm glad that Krishna came through and saved Draupadi from embarrassment. She had every right to hit Duhshasana
  • Arjuna goes to heaven once he enters exile?
  • Glad Damyavanti was smart enough to spot out the real Nala from all the fakes
  • I know that Nala ditches Damyavanti for her own good. But I don't understand why guys don't understand that if a girl is willing to stand by your side through even the ROUGHEST of times, then she should not be driven or pushed away. Instead, Nala should have thanked her and been glad to have company in that dark forest.
  • Damyavanti would not have been kidnapped or hurt if Nala had just taken her with him.. I'm glad that she goes home to her father though and that he agrees to help her find Nala
  • It's weird how the knowledge of gambling is what causes Kali to leave Nala's body. Interesting. 
  • Even though Nala now knows the science of gambling, I still feel like it's dumb for him to gamble everything. I guess it's difference since right now he has nothing to lose and everything to gain
  • Lol @ Yudhishthira for learning the science of gambling now
