Reading Part B: 7 Secrets from Hindu Calendar Art Chp. 2

In the beginning of Seven Secrets from Hindu Calendar Narayan's Secret, they show a picture of Narayan waking up. When Narayan wakes up the call this the moment that the world becomes into being. Narayan is known as a great and when he sleeps the world does not exist. I find that a bit extreme. It made sense whenever the video talked about the urgency for the Greeks to be heroes, the Christians to be saved and the Muslims to surrender to their god. The urgency is there because these religions do not believe in re-birth. Therefore, they all feel the need to be accomplished in the eyes of their god while they are here on earth. However, Hindus believe in re-birth! 

I find it interesting that Narayan sleeps on an ocean of still milk. Narayan is quite powerful in the world of Hindu gods. The milk represents possibilities and all things emerge from the milk when Narayan opens his eyes. What I am understanding from the video is when Narayan sleeps all things are still and do not exist. The people that are still awake while he is sleeping is not aware of the world that exist around him. Narayan is an observer. Therefore when he is sleep nothing is observed. In my retelling  of this story I think it would be cool to talk about the life of Narayan and his friends and make a story about how things or events did not exist unless Narayan saw it.

Introduction To a Future Pharmacists

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are Chemical Biosciences, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took last semester is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together.                                      ...

Week 13 Story telling: Who's the King?

Image
It was Senior year at Chocolate High, two weeks before Prom night. I was not at all in any way apart of the popular crowd but I had a few good friends, teammates and of course some haters. There was always typical High School drama. How could there not be drama with the different clicks in High School. There were the blacks, whites, hispanics, athletes, band geeks, cheerleaders and many more. The few weeks before prom, the tension was rising. I can remember there was  great excitement too because there was  not always a prom night at Chocolate High. My senior year was the first year Chocolate High had a prom. The three other High schools had prom nights for years but Chocolate High did not. They said Chocolate High used to have a prom night but it caused so much drama that they stopped having prom night. Therefore, everyone was so excited to find out who will be Prom King and Queen. I was also excited but I knew I would never be selected to be on Prom court. However, it actual...
