Reading Notes: Epified Mahabharata Section E

Source: Epified TV

After watching this set of Epified videos, I was inspired by the slaying of Jarasandha. I think this story could be told in a much more interesting way, specifically when it comes to the fight between Bhima and Jarasandha.

I think the idea of Bhima tearing his enemy in half only for him to reform is cool, but the idea of Krishna tearing a blade of glass in two as a hint for Bhima is kind of stupid. Instead, I would write it so that Bhima fights Jarasandha on his own, with Krishna and Arjuna being otherwise occupied by some other force. Bhima would have to figure out the secret to defeating Jarasandha on his own.

Perhaps he would even see a leaf split in two by the force of their battle, which would rage throughout the palace and into the gardens. This would serve as the hint he needs to separate the halves of Jarasandha to prevent him from reforming.

I just think that would make for a more interesting story and would be epic. Nuff said.

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...

My Favorite Place, the Wichita Mountains

My favorite place is located in southwestern Oklahoma, near the town of Lawton. It is the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, in particular Mount Scott and Elk Mountain. These two sites offer incredibly breathtaking views as well as fantastic opportunities for hiking, bouldering, and rock climbing.  Mt. Scott Mt. Scott features a road that snakes its way up the small "mountain", culminating in a parking lot at the top. This location is fantastic is most likely what most people imagine when they think of the Wichita Mountains. It has gorgeous views of the surrounding area, including hills, forests, towns, and lakes, as well as plenty of spots to hike and climb. I have visited Mt. Scott countless times, initially just driving up to the top with my family, but eventually hiking up it with friends. It is a place that I feel very connected to, for reasons I cannot seem to explain. Whenever I hear people claim that Oklahoma isn't pretty, all I have to do is imagine the vie...
