Notes:
Durwasa likes to curse people for petty reasons but Kunti is unafraid of him. He gives her a gift that allows her to summon any god. The sun god Surya visits Kunti and she has a child. Kunti has to give him up.
When Pandu is cursed by a hermit and cannot have kids, Kunti shares the information that she can summon gods and have their children.
Kunti takes the sons back home to Hastinapur after Pandu and his other wife die.
The creation of Gandhari's children is very strange and helps shed light on why they were always set out on destruction and revenge.
Bheem ends up at the serpent king's home where he is bestowed with gifts. He also decides that it is time to grow up and face the dangers the future has for him.
Bhishma is the grandfather to all the boys.
Drona becomes the war teacher, Arjun was the perfect warrior.
Ekalavya became the worlds best archer just because of his willingness to learn. Drona has him cut off his thumb and leaves sad believing the boy cannot become a legendary archer.

Even though some days were hard I had a lot of fun and would recommend Korea or just studying abroad i

Week 2 Story: The Sleepy Koala

Image
Story There once was a sleepy koala who spent most of his time in eucalyptus trees. One day when he was eating some eucalyptus leaves he came across a branch that did not look like the others. He asked " what shall I do with this odd branch? " He thought maybe he should try to eat it, although it didn't look very tasty. He thought another time to throw it down into the river where it could float away and bother a different creature. To his surprise the branch once answered back. It said " if you, sleepy koala, want me out of your sight just bury me under some dirt where the sun shines and I will never bother you in this form again ." The koala was hesitant. It would require a lot of work for him to leave his tree to bury this branch. He was very busy with his 22 hours of sleep and 2 hours of eating leaves. Nonetheless he decided it was important to get rid of the strange branch once and for all. He climbed down his tree and followed the branch's instruc
