Week 1: Indian Epics and Thoughts

Going into this class, I have a pretty open mind.  Growing up, I've read so many pieces of literature that are English, but I don't think I've read any that are Indian.  I am definitely looking forward to the diversity of literature I'm about to experience and anticipate to be very fascinated.  I also have several Indian friends so it will be neat to have a glimpse into the culture of their country.  I am eager for this class but don't know what to expect.  So far, writing the post about a "story on a story" was really neat and I'm looking forward to reading different versions of the same story throughout the semester.
