Reading Notes: Epified Krishna Section A

Source: Epified TV (India)

I think the story of Krishna growing up could be turned into a pretty interesting story. Specifically, I think focusing on a little child repeatedly defeating powerful beings and other accidents would be pretty amusing. I'd like to put a focus on people not realizing he's an Avatar, but rather continuing to come up with excuses for why he keeps avoiding these problems.

The original story for Krishna is a little weird at times, so I think I want to just lean straight into the weirdness rather than fight it to make it more normal. Make him defeat 100 ft demons with a song on the flute and other ridiculous things.

I actually really liked the Epified videos. They were just the right length that it didn't feel like watching each took very long. Had they all been together it would've felt like more of a time-sink, but having them all split up made the story much more digestible.

    Hi Cal. I also watched some of the Krishna videos. There really is some weird stuff in there; when I was reading the story online, I couldn't imagine Krishna as a toddler successfully fighting off huge demons. The videos definitely helped me visualize it a lot.

Introduction to a Mechanical Engineering Major

My name is Callum Maguire, and I am a senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering. The coolest class I took last semester was AC Systems, which explored how air conditioning systems work and how they cool down rooms. Get it? Coolest class? Jokes aside, it was a very interesting course that opened my eyes to how complex a system the air conditioning in a building is, as even a single room can be a lot to deal with as far as calculations go. I was raised on Star Wars and Tolkien, so they happen to be some of my favorite works, however I'm also very fond of superhero movies, sitcoms like Community and IT Crowd, as well as sci-fi and fantasy novels. Long story short, I'm a nerd. Best movie I've seen recently is The Last Jedi, which is something of a controversial opinion I guess, but I don't care. I enjoyed it, and that's all there is to it. I recently re-read one of my childhood favorite novels, Redwall, which was a nice trip down memory lane. It was clear that it wasn...

Week 7 Story: Demon Days

Long ago, in the land of Midor, there lived a humble man by the name of Shakiro. He was a simple man, and he led a simple life. One day, when Shakiro was wandering about the forest, searching for food, he encountered a a creature that had become trapped by some kind of strange apparatus. When he approached the odd creature, he was surprised to hear the creature speak to him! "Hello there, human. I was trapped here, unable to escape my bindings without assistance from a human... I don't imagine you'd be willing to help, so just run away now like the rest of your kind." This perplexed Shakiro, as he couldn't figure out why the creature would just assume he wouldn't help out. If Shakiro was anything, he was generous! He looked the creature up and down and decided he seemed harmless enough. "I will not run away!" Exclaimed Shakiro, "I'm going to free you, my friend." He took care to break the chains that held the creatu...
