Sorry did not see this question till now  Its one of the cults(?) in hinduism -like Vaishnava & Shaiva Shakti(the mother goddess) is considered Supreme...hence the feminist tilt perceived by Reddit The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

I would rate Bhima as Greatest warrior above Arjuna and Karna. Look at his achievements 1. Killed manay rashasas, jarasandha, keechaka with sheer individual strenght 2. There has never been any help or guide to him in any war he fought 3. Many a times he was surrounded by Kaurava armies, which he sucessfully thrwarted 4. He even defeated Karna , Drona in the war 5. He is a complete family man resched and servced his family with Love during vanavaasa 6. Bheem resorted to hitting below the belt only when durodhan started breaking the rules 7. Sacrificied his wfife Hidimba for family One of the few greatest warriors who did not get thier due recognition. | ||

Yeah, in fact Mahabharata ni oka trilogy lo theesthe too much untadhi...in fact i always thought the LOTR book was overrated (i find it rather boring)..to folks from India for whom there is so much mythology and folklore, these things are rather underwhelming..for the West all this might appear exciting, but for me it so blah.... | ||

Even that is fine, please share. Jain version complete chesanu last month, in that war b'ween Krishna & Jarasandha is the main war and there is no Kurukhestra war at all. Much closer to Bhagavata Purana anochu. I never read somehow Shakta ante associated with feminism ani feeling, my mom is a big shakta bakt. | ||

Cooooollll....Jst love various adaptions on Ramayana & Mahabharata. It is time we took our epics to International audience. Though attemots have been made, we havent been able to ruffle their fancy. I wish some mainstream fantasy novelist like George Martin or Joe Abercrombie adapts them to create a ripple in fiction world... | ||

Particular view points chadavaledu - only different translations of the original at different points.. Actually find shakta writings more interesting than bharatam ramayanam - more abstract concepts that I enjoy mulling over.. but have not been finding time to read those either these days  The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

Official partners of ICC, India won the 20 - 20 world cup so lot of traffic was directed to Y! no wonder you beat cricinfo in Page views. http://cricket.yahoo.com/blogs/author/srinivas-bhogle/, he is a stat freak... cricinfos' Rajesh guy is not match for him.

Yes, even before he started these blogs - i used to regularly read Amit, Jabberwock, Anand Ramachandran, etc..we continued this for a year and half i think...then we discontinued...Cricinfo is a tough animal to beat though Prem has been trying his best..on Comscore we beat Cricinfo regularly in PVs but not in time spent. I don't recollect Bhogle's brother though... Prem used to maintain a good library in office in his room and we used to bond over that and i used to borrow books from him... | ||

I think he started some section in yahoo with Amit, jai arjun singh, Bogle's elder brother where everyone writes on a particular day of the week if I remember correctly? Even Y! cricket with their ICC deal used to be good but now it's shit! Most of them have shifted to twitter and moved on I guess. | ||

Yahoo; when Prem can on board Y, he got Amit and a few others to blog for us. Amit used to blog actively at India Uncut, does not seem to be that active nowadays nor do i get the time...Prem did get ball by ball ongoing at Y!. I like the Guardian OBO though, not ball by ball as much but nice and witty...i prefer that for my updates on tennis, cricket etc.. | ||

rediff or yahoo? I've collaborated with him when he was with rediff to do some live commentary like how OBO is done in Guardian but somehow it din't take off & cricinfo nailed it with their ball - by - ball commentary. Amit Verma, Panicker ellantha used to be very active & those were great times. Do read when you find time, excellent read. | ||

Prem is a good friend...we worked together in my previous company...i downloaded this english translation of Randamoozham 2-3 years back, never got around to reading it though... Rajaji's books unnayi, both Mahabharatha and Ramayana. Mahabharatha is is really good. I find Ramayana, as a story itself, rather boring. | ||

I enjoy reading re-telling of our epics from different perspectives of the characters involved in them. Till date I've read a translation of Sivaji Savant's Mrityunjaya [Which is the Mahabharata from Karna's point of view}; which was basically adapted into DVSK by NTR. Then you have the famous Chitra Banerjee's Palace of Illusions, oh boy its one scandalous read if you are into the whole myth & awe about the characters of protagonists in Mahabharat; The one I personally like the most and favourite is the one Prem Panicker adapted from Randaamoozham by M T Vasudevan Nair. Basically is from the POV of Bhima and tries to demystify the whole epic. If anyones cares to read, I'm putting in the links from where you can d/l. http://www.scribd.com/doc/20621790/Bhimsen (Word format) https://skydrive.live.com/?id=C44CD1DD55949EF8!142&cid=c44cd1dd55949ef8 (PDF format) Similarly if you people have your own personal favourites please do share the titles and preferably if they have an english translation. |
