Storybook Favorites

I have found three very interesting storybooks from other students' blogs. One interesting storybook that I really caught my attention was about various kinds of festivals in India.



             

 In the storybook, it talks about many different kinds of festivals in India. India is well-known for all kinds of interesting festivals throughout the calendar year. This storybook really has caught my attention for its interesting Indian festival picture.

I have found this picture very fascinating. There is a saying that says "a picture is worth a thousand words." I think this picture definitely explains what that means. Besides the interesting picture, the storybook also did a great job in its introduction. Jalsa, the author, explained different kinds of important annual Hindi festivals in a concise, yet clear way.






Second interesting storybook that I have found is about Hindu dating. 






This storybook is the most interesting and fun storybook so far that I have found. It talked about several Indian gods and goddesses who were involved in love and romantic affairs. This storybook was really interesting because it can kind of deceive people as being a Hindi online dating site outwardly, but it really talks about ancient Hindu gods, goddesses, and their romantic mythology.







Third interesting storybook that I have found is about life-long love devotion of Indian women. 




The author did a great job in explaining interesting Indian traditions and rituals in her introduction such as Karva Chauth, a ritual that Indian women fast and pray for her life partner. The author also explained the story in an interesting storytelling narrative with several characters that she has created. This storybook has been my favorite of all three storybooks by far. I think it is an very unique, creative, and interesting storybook.

Introduction to Peter the Real Estate Agent

Hi guys! I'm Peter, and I'm an OU student. I'm a junior, and I'm majoring in Communication. I believe I'm a very honest person, so I'm going to tell you why I chose to major in Communication. I honestly chose to do this major because I thought Communication would be a relative easy major. Nevertheless, it turns out that it is not! Some professors are tough and demanding, and there are lots of heavy reading, intensive writing, and several exams that I need to complete to earn an OU Communication degree. I still think Communication is a pretty cool major because I get to learn about many interesting effective communication theories. Because my major belongs to the College of Arts and Sciences, it has heavier emphasis on theory and research more than practice and application. Honestly, I don't really remember a "cool class" that I took last semester (I don't think I had any). Nonetheless, these classes, Myth Folklore and Indian Epics, ar...

Week 6 Story: Uparichara the King of Chedi (PDE Mahabharata, Part A)

In the old ancient India, there was a mischievous, popular king named Uparichara. Uparichara was born into a life of enormous wealth and privileges: he didn't have siblings and was destined to become the king of Chedi. Uparichara didn't care about his future because he was destined to the crown, so he lived a life of sex, binge drinking, smoking medicinal drugs for recreation, and all sorts of indulgence until the age of 33. Another reason why he was so much into lust and indulgence was because of stress of being an important public figure. As a prince, he was expected to appear moral and exemplary to his people. Uparichara desperately wanted to become the king, but his father lived a long life: Uparichara's 88-year-old father who was his predecessor didn't want to turn over the crown to his son because he believed he failed his son's upbringing and moral character education.  One night in his dream, Uparichara saw frowned-faced gods and angels. Uparichara ask...
