More flowcharts! I'm glad we read this one second - there are so many names. 

Draupadi has a LOT going on. Someone buy this lady a planner! (Also side story about dogs in public...)

Arjuna gets sent off to exile again because his brother's shoes were missing. He has many adventures. Exile = Adventure?? Like running away to join the circus.

Don't play dice with your enemies, dang it.

EXILE again. Wander, wander, adventure, adventure. Ooh, foreshadowing - go collect weapons for war.

Reading Notes: Mahabharata Part A

 Bibliography: Tiny Tales from the Mahabharata by Laura Gibbs

Holy family tree flow chart batman!

Satyavati has a lot going on - being born from a fish, secret kids. I'm getting a very drama/reality TV vibe from this so far and it's amazing. From Satyavati in a way we actually get the Mahabharata because of Vyasa. Vyasa has a lot going on too - the making kids out of lumps in pots in also amazing and I love it. 

Focus may be on Vyasa coming from Satyavati - could do a brief intro on her as well since she has great backstory - and then things about Vyasa. The kids, the composing of the Mahabharata and the visiting the widows. Snippets to make up a fun tale of Vyasa. :)
