Thank you Shanks-- One of the things that made it hard to remember all the detail of the story was keeping track of all the names... Most are not not common names in US -- and tracking relations-- who was part of which family. but as i watched it, ( in one 10 hour long marathon!) I was swept away to a mystical world.. and this was just snippets of the poem, being recited, as naration to the actions that was being portrayed.

at points, they recited in (hindu? sanskrit?) with the english as an overlay-- so you could hear the rythm and flow of the original..


my other obsession
