Week 13: Reading Diary B

The whole gender switching thing going on with Sikhandini is kind of hard to wrap my mind around. I guess female warriors just weren't allowed, so Sikhandini had to become a man to fight in the battle. If I was Yudhishthira there is no way I would meet my opponents before battle, considering how many times they have tried to kill me. I was surprised that none of Duryodhana's forces made an attempt on his life before the battle. Also, if I was Bhisma I would not want to live with a body full of arrows any longer than needed. That sounds incredibly painful. Through the rest of the battle, it seems clear that Karma is on the Panadavas side.
