Epic stories
๐คฃ
The best part of the desi epic stories ( like Ramayana and Mahabharata) is, even a kid ‘feels’ easy to understand, interesting and enjoyable repeatedly ๐
The “example” in my primary school’s maths text book was always easier than the set of 10 others given as “excercises” at the end of the lesson. My classmates agreed with my misconception “author is a clever fellow, he picks easiest “sum” to use as his-example, and dumps all the tough ones on me ๐ญ”
Only when I grew up, ‘lived’ vicariously through those epic stories, I realised that the concepts hidden in it are of UNFATHOMABLE depth๐….
I even “tried” to find out whether I am the only-fool around to feel like this? I asked a few queries like….
a)did you know, the numerals designated as “mystic” in maths, is seamlessly interwoven in the 2 epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata?( 8 & 9)
b)did you know that there is a very fundamental difference between the two heroes “Rama and Krishna”, as narrated in the two epics?
c)do you know, the sharp contrast in their very ‘format’( design, structure, software) between the two ‘avataars’ of Rama and Krishna? And for a very very good reason?
d)what is the uniqueness in Rama as an incarnation, which is not there in the other 9 forms?
e) ….. like these, few more, “etc’s”
๐คฃ I picked those ‘aspects’ which the narrators( for a heavy fee) omit to describe or dwell upon ๐
I couldn't find anyone “happy” about even listening. ( As if I was indulging into the sadism of asking them to look at the end_product of a delicious dish, in the toilet and asking them to explain its composition ๐ญ๐)
Anyway, I didn't regret my ‘crooked mind' asking stupid koschans like “why did that maths book’s author reserve easy problems for himself as examples in text and dump the burden some ones on me, for excercise?” Life is the excercise and epics are the examples๐
