Technology

This class does utilize a more innovative and technologically advanced format than other classes, and I found that to be fascinating! Use of this blogger tool, website publishing, bookmarking important pages, editing images, and creating interesting graphics all sounded exciting and fun to me.




I had never had any experience with above tools that I mentioned before taking this class. So, it was unfamiliar and new to me at first, but as I started using the tools since Monday (first day of class), I seem to get used to their neat features.


This online environment is very different from what I have experienced with other regular classes. Nevertheless, I do find this kind of new environment more fun and exciting! So although it is different, I like this format and delivery method a lot more than regular, traditional classroom setting. I hope to enhance my blogging skills over the course of this semester.

Inayat. Twenty Jataka Tales, Reading A

I'm always been fond of reading Jataka tales. In fact, these collections of Jataka tales have been my favorite kind of reading for this semester because their plots are very interesting with lots of suspense and rich visual details. Monkeys look the most alike with humans, and they are usually the symbol of wisdom in many Indian epic stories. I liked all the readings in Reading A of Inayat's twenty Jataka tales, but one story that particularly stood out in my mind was the story of Monkey-Bridge. Monkey, including the wise god Hanuman, often has taken the role of clever, wise, and smart animal in Indian and Hindu epics. The story begins with a giant-like monkey who ruled eighty-thousand monkeys in Himalayan mountains. Wow.. Eighty-thousand monkeys are a lot and I can't even conceive how many monkeys that the giant monkey ruled in the cold, steep Himalayan mountains. I really like this very detailed, vivid, and full of image description of the monkeys' habitat: ...

Reading Notes: PDE Mahabharata, Part D

I really liked the combat story of Arjuna and Karna. The way the reading described the battle sounded very intense: "The arrows of Arjuna fell upon Karna like to summer rain; Karna's arrows were like stinging snakes, and they drank blood. At length Arjuna's celestial bow Gandiva was struck and the bow-string severed." The two heroes fought nip and tuck to win the battle. Karna, unlike Arjuna, seemed to lack grace and sense of justice. Karna attacked the injured men despite Arjuna's desperate warning: "Pause, O Karna. According to the rules of battle, thou canst not attack a disabled foeman." Despite Arjuna's warning, Karna was an unethical and ruthless foe. He attacked his injured opponent with ruthless raids of arrows. This cowardly action (from Arjuna's perspective) made Arjuna extremely angry that he almost became a different character: "When Arjuna had restrung his bow, he rose up like to a stricken and angry tiger held at bay, and...

Week 10 Review

**While I was doing Part 2, check-up, I've found that I didn't declare for one Reading Notes that I did back in Week 5. So, I declared it for Extra Reading for Week 10 instead. When Your Brain Doesn't Sleep (Graphic) I've found this graphic to be relevant to my current state. It's also interesting to learn about the science of brain and sleep. Brain perhaps is the most important organ in our body, and it does many important jobs to make us stay afloat. I've also found several brain malfunctioning experiences I've had due to sleeping less. Lost memories, anger, impaired wit, head in the clouds, slurred speech, and risky decisions all sound very relevant to my personal experiences of getting inadequate sleep. It's so fascinating to learn about the interesting correlation. The graphic is obviously very effective at fulfilling its purpose of informing people about the danger of sleep deprivation. Tapasya (Video) It's truly interesting to ...
