Reading Notes: Mahabharata part B


For week 9 reading I am reviewing the Mahabharata part B. The story that stuck out the most to me in this story was Duryodhana’s Death. In this story Duryodhana took refuge beneath the water in a lake to not take the pandavas. Then he agrees to a single combat with Bhima. Bhima injures Duryodhana, and the Kaurava survivors raid the Pandava camp. Dhrishtadyumna and all the Pandava army is slayed. The news is taken back to the Duryodhana who was wounded and then dies. Everyone Dhritarashtra loves is dead, and in his grief, he wants to strangle Bhima, but being blind he strangled the statue and crushed it.  Close to the end of the Bharata family line, the wife of the dead gives birth to a child. Dhiritarasha and Gandhari retire to the forest where they die in a forest fire, making Yudhishthira, the plot I made from this story was that if you hide from your past, you will still get affected from them in the end. This can be made into an interesting story for later on and maybe used in a story book.

The coolest thing about my major is seeing how different systems work together and run, as well as making parts in CAD and seeing them get made. The best class I took last semester was Engineering Design because I learned different CAD platforms and how to dynamically analyze parts via computer, taking out some of the time of tedious hand calculations. My biggest accomplishment last semester was boosting my gpa some and just having a good semester in general. Over the break, I went to Colorado for a couple of weeks and relaxed a little before and after my internship at innovex downhole solutions. It was a blessing to receive the internship this summer because it was great infield experience working with lead mechanical engineers all summer long. Although I said Colorado was my favorite p...

Week 5 Story: Just a Game

Image
Tom was an All-American hockey player and was the best in Pittsburg. He had major dreams of going to the NHL one day but now he was only 17 and could only work on perfecting his craft. He cam up through the ranks as a young boy being the best on any rink he stepped foot on. He once had a teammate whose name was Jared, who he had done wrong to unintentionally, but Jared never seemed to forgive him.   They came up through the ranks together all the way to their senior year where both of them ended up being drafted by the Pittsburg Penguins. They were both climbing up the ranks on the team and found themselves to be two of the best on the team, let alone in the NHL. Time came and the captain of the Pittsburg Penguins at the time retired. The coach had two guys in mind to take his place, Tom and Jared. Tome was in the better position to take the job because of the connections he had made with the rest of the teammates, but Jared would not let this stop him.   Because way ba...
