Micro-bharatham!

Jan 13, 2015 0 comments
Living in a Cave -That's exactly what I feel about myself, every time I login to twitter. Oh, twitter! Why am I taking forever to adapt to you? Though I appreciate your design, I feel like am entering a forest where too many birds are chirping and I feel lost amidst all those hashtags trying desperately to catch up from where I left.

But Facebook is warm, I should say, its like entering your friend's home and relaxing with a cup of coffee listening to all their stories and telling mine. I use Pinterest too but am never bogged down by its tangled web. But twitter, sigh! I hope its a matter of time, as I have hoped many times in the past. The reason behind letting out such an alarming sigh is that I came across something so new to me, #TwitterFiction. Specifically Mahabharata in tweets. Or should I say Microbharata, as rightly mentioned elsewhere. Audacious, isn't it? This herculean task was done by Dr.Chindu Sreedharan for 1605 days through 2628 tweets. Recently, it has been published as a book by Harper collins (Look at what the description says, passing a camel through a needle's eye. Bang on!). Am overwhelmed.

ABCs of Mahabharatham(BM #24)

We are just few days away from completing this marathon. And I loved it throughout. Most of the days, I will keep contemplating about the subject for the post during the day and by end of day, I will do a post. I don't want this to end and I have taken it upon myself to carry on with the marathon. 
On a different note, I just completed reading The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakurani recently. I am loving the depth and complexity of the characters in Mahabharatham and I want to read more on this epic.
So,
  • Starting February am going to do a A to Z post on Mahabharatham. 
  • Since I have not read more on the epic yet, February will be a A-Z on Mahabharatham characters, that is I will pick a character with name starting with A, say Arjuna, Abhimanyu and so on. Am just planning to put down my thoughts about the character.
  • March will be a A-Z on emotions depicted in Mahabharatham say F for Friendship, R for Remorse and so on.
  • I hope I will do more reading this way and will have something to think about during the day :)
  • Since there are only 26 alphabets :-P, I will take off from blogging on random days ;-)
For now, this is my plan. Let me test my perseverance, dedication and reading skills. An 'epic' task, truly!
