Dear SRS I never realized the appeal of NT Rama Rao, only knowing him from 'India Today' magazine articles in the 80s- early 90s, when he was heavy -- elderly. I was visiting a family in Guntur, AP, 12/99, and the old folks were watching …

Mahabharat Quiz - Duryodhana
dear Malathi, Thanks for setting me straight about Duryodhana's pennant. Either Buck got the flag wrong or I read him wrong. By the way, Krishna & Achilles both are killed by a wound in the heel. Wonder who borrowed that theme from whom? K…

Dear Malathi, You could get William Buck's retelling of both the Mahabharata & the Ramayana through Amazon.com. Used. They have good illustrations, too, be sure to get an illus. edition if you can. I'm probably noone to judge how good…

But isn't it true, Satish that there are many digressions: The Ramayana is told, Sakuntala, the antlered boy who lifts the drought, Damayanti, etc. These tales often mirror what takes place in the main story. Kathie > . > >
