Princess Gandhari receives a blessing from lord Shiva that she will have 100 sons. Someone arranges a marriage between the princess and Dhritarashtra, who is the king of the Kurus but the king is blind so the princess blindfolds herself to share the same life.

The story continues into the Pandaves vs. the other cousins and they go to the dice roll and the cousins end up being exiled.

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.

I would really like like to manage my time well in this class so I can get ahead and even finish the class early. For the readings, I read  4 Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination by Peter Banerjea and How to Beat Procrastination by Caroline Webb. Both readings gave me little pointers that I could easily apply to my own life and help me better manage my time. Procrastination  For some reason it was saved as a draft instead of published so its not late
