Reading Notes: Tiny Tales, Mahabharata, Part B

Story 54 Bhima Fights a Rakshasa:

Bhima watches over camp while his mother and brothers sleep. Two rakshasa siblings approach them in hopes of eating them, but Hidimbi, the sister rakshasa, falls in love with Bhima and helps to defeat her own brother.

They then marry and have a son named Ghatotkacha.

An idea I have for this story is to incorporate the characters of the Movie Hocus Pocus. By turning the Rakshasas into the Sanderson sisters. And Bhima and his family into the people they are trying to steal youth from.

One thing that stuck out in the story that I can use in my own story is the sentence "I smell Humans" because in the movie Hocus Pocus, Mary is famous for her line " I smell children," which is very similar.

Being that this year was my first year of college out of high school, I began as a "freshman", starting with 60 credit hours classifying me as a junior, and changing my major to Psychology Pre-Med now puts me as a sophomore. All very confusing, I know! I have always been the type of pe...
