Reading Notes Week 9 - Retelling Mahabharata, Part A

I like how there is a challenge for suiters to win the hand in marriage and that could be interesting to look into. Instead of having all five of the Pandavas brother's marry Drupada's daughter, I would only have Arjuna marry her since he is the one who won the contest. The part where Arjuna marries a sea nymph is cool and I like that he has to defeat an alligator which free's them from their cursed form. I could retell this part but have the sisters be something other than an alligator or maybe have them be mermaids instead of sea nymphs. I really liked this version of the Mahabharata more than the original.

After she woke up, she went about her day like normal, she went to yoga class and then went to work. At work she started having contractions but decided they were far enough apart that she didn't need to worry. A couple hours later, her contractions started getting closer together - about 7 minutes apart - so she called her husband, Dasaratha, and they decided it was time to go to the hospital! After today they were going to be parents, they were so excited! Once her labor begun, the sky turned dark which was awfully peculiar since it was only 3:00 pm so it should've been totally bright outside and in that moment and her first son was born, Bharata. Even though she was tired, she still had three more boys. As her second son was about to be born, it started to get really windy and rain started pouring. ...
