Week 12 Reading: Ancestors of Rama

King Dipla Rama'a's great great grandfather wasn't able to have children with his wife. He consults a sage and she tells him that he can with some other woman but Dipla is always too distracted with his young wife that he gives the other woman no attention. The Sage tests Dipla by putting a tiger to attack the woman he could have kids with to see what Dipla does. Dipla sacrifices his body to the tiger and so the sage grants him a child. Dipla gives birth to his son Raghu. When Raghu becomes older Dipla tells him he needs to protect a horse from being taken. Indra whos mad at Raghu turns invisible and tries to take the horse but Raghu stops her and Indra rewards him. Dipla makes him king after. Later on, the kings threaten Raghu so he decided to take over the world and succeeds he then disrupts the wealth back to the kings. A sage arrives after the wealth has been distributed to ask for a massive sum to pay his teacher. Raghu realizes he will have to get the wealth from Kubera, the god of wealth, himself. Kubera, fearing Raghu's arrival, sends a shower of gold into the palace. The sage blesses Raghu, promising him a great son. This son is Aja. When Aja grows up Raghu sends Aja to go compete from another king's daughter. On the way, Aja is attacked by an elephant and Aja takes it down. The elephant turns into a sage and rewards Aja with a magical spear. Aja arrives and marries the daughter but then gets attacked and puts the attacker to sleep with the spear. Aja then becomes king.

Introduction to Carver's life

Hi, I'm Carver Ramey and I am currently a junior here at OU. My major is Finance and I would say the coolest part of my major is I got to go study abroad last summer and take a finance and accounting class. The best class I took last semester would be Philosophy because I was able to work ahead and complete the course two weeks before it was due. After I graduate from OU I want to go to work somewhere in the real estate field. This summer I have an internship at a commercial real estate firm in Dallas which I am very excited about. If for some reason I don't enjoy real estate I will probably try and go to law school after graduating from OU. My favorite hobby of mine is skiing. I usually go skiing once or twice a year and I have been doing that for the past 15 years whether it's with my parents or a group of friends. To make sure I keep this streak up every summer I work and save up so I can afford to go. This winter break I went to Crested Butte with a couple of my friend

"Favorite Place"

My favorite place to go in the world is anywhere that I can ski. Skiing has been my favorite thing to do since I was 6  years old and I try and go every year. There is no specific place on this earth that I call "My Favorite Place" but anywhere with snow that I can ski on is my favorite place.                                                                                     Photo of person skiing on snowfield
