I have decided to read the R. K. Narayan's Ramayana version available. The main reason I made this decision is because I really don't like to read books on the computer and only do it when I have to, I prefer a physical book instead. I also like the fact that there is one author and it is a consistent story that will flow through out the book. In addition, there is an online reading guide in case I do not understand certain aspects of the story.
The first comic I found interesting is the Tales of Balarama: Valiant Brother Of Krishna. I choose this comic because it as a sense of adventure with two brothers fighting demons. Also the changing of the India's geography catches my eye since that is my minor. Really anything about people going different locations and using the resources native to that area interests me.
The second comic I found interesting is Hanuman to the Rescue because, again, it has a sense of adventure. I also find interesting the use of things like the sun and moving mountains as an advantage because these are things humans use as a tool but here they are used in a different way.
The first video I find interesting is Purushartha - The Four Aims Of Life because I find it fascinating to study the differences and the similarities of what our culture compared to Indian culture finds important to life. It gives insight to why aspects of the Indian culture are different to ours and other cultures. Similarly I found the Stages of life equally interesting for the same reason. It is interesting to see the similarities between the two cultures of the first three stages. However, our culture tends to stop at the third stage while the Indian culture has one final stage that seems important to the individual and their spirit.
