Reading Notes: Narayan's Mahabharata Section B

Chapter 5

  • Dhritarashtra needs to grow a backbone
  • The rule that you can't intrude on whichever brother time with the wife is stupid
    • Example A: 
      • Arjuna had urgent business with his brother and was exiled just for trying to do his job
Chapter 6
  • Duryodhana should focus on making his kingdom better instead of trying to ruin his cousins' kingdom out of jealousy
Chapter 7
  • When you have to explain how what you're doing isn't actually cheating . . . it's probably cheating
  • Why didn't anyone try and stop Yudhistira from gambling everything away?
  • Everyone was horrified by how Draupadi was being treated, but no one tried to stop it
Chapter 8
  • At least Draupadi is standing up for herself

Introduction To a Future Architect

My name is Trishna Patel and I'm a second year architecture major. My main hobby (if you can consider it one) is watching tv mostly tv shows, documentaries, and anime. I also like to watch movies.
