Reading Notes: Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution, Part D

-

Draupadi is married to the five Pandava brothers. Narad Muni saw this situation and grew worried. He proceeded to tell Draupadi and the Pandavas his concern. He told the story of two brothers, Sundha and Upasundra. These brothers were very close knit just like the Pandava brothers.
Sundha and Upasundra were also very powerful. The only way they could die was by each other's hands. Sundha and Upasundra both fell in love with the same woman, Tilottama. She became the cause of their deaths. The two brothers who were so close began to fight over the same woman. This fight occured when Upasundra saw Sundra and Tilottama together. They ended up killing each other. After Draupadi and the Pandavas heard this story, they sought for a solution so that they would not fight over Draupadi. The solution was that one brother would have Draupadi for a year. For that year, if another brother was to intrude their time together then that brother would go to exile for twelve years. I thought this story was interesting and how they arranged their marriage to be like was interesting. If I were to retell this story I may add more dialogue and change how they arranged this marriage.

Hello, my name is Joanna Yoon. I am a student of the University of Oklahoma. I am a junior majoring in biology pre-medicine. I am also minoring in chemistry and Spanish. I chose biology pre-medicine as my major for my dream job, a neonatal doctor. When I was in high school, I volunteered for two years in the neonatal intensive care unit at Integris Hospital. It was then I realized that I wanted to do more for these babies. At a young age, these babies were already facing complications, and I wanted to be the doctor who made them healthy. Currently, I volunteer at Norman Regional Hospital and a free clinic called Manos Juntas. Along with volunteering, I work two jobs. I work at Charlestons in Norman on weekends as a server and a lab technician at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation on weekdays. To take a break from all this work, I have a dog. He is an Australian Shepherd whose name is Rocky after my favorite rapper A$AP Rocky. I got him last summer, and it’s been quite a jour

Note: This story is now part of my  Porfolio  website. This website will have the more current version. In a swamp you could hear the hungry whines of a young crocodile. "Dad, I am so hungry! I think I might die if I don't eat soon. We haven't eaten in 2 days," said the young crocodile. "I know son, but there are no animals left for us to eat," said the crocodile. "I am so hungry I might even try to eat the fruits off of the trees,",said the young crocodile. "Well let me know when you can climb up a tree," said the crocodile chuckling. "Better yet, how about you bring that monkey so we can eat him," said the young crocodile with his eyes gleaming and his stomach growling. "Son, the monkey is my friend. I don't eat my friends," said the crocodile. However, as the days went on the crocodile became hungrier and his son's whining became louder. "Fine, I will convince the monkey that this is like any
