Mahabharata Addiction1

The Mahabaharata just kind of sneaks up on you. The whole thing is huge-long and at first (and even later) very intimidating, a confusion of stories and a cast of (seemingly) millions. But once you get the basic core of the story straight, you can start exploring the many plays, poems, short stories, novels, movies, songs, comic books, puppet shows, etc., it has inspired. It's a complete and profound addiction.
