mahabharata

a tale of love, lust, forbidden trysts, test-tube babies, atomic weapons, celibacy, power, bravery, women's empowerment and everything else. truly it is said that "what is contained herein may be found elsewhere, but what is not here cannot be found anywhere else." Ramesh Menon has made it easy read. maybe not as stirring as Ashok Banker's Ramayana, but effective. but then, maybe it is the story, which is supposedly seven times as long as the Iliad and Odyssey combined. Why look for Greek treasures when you can find it here?
