Reading Diary B: Narayan's Mahabharata

Continuing the story, Arjuna and Yudhishthira (we'll call him Yud for short) share a wife name Draupadi. Why did they think that was a good idea? I'll never know. Arjuna gets exiled because he intruded on Yud and Draupadi. The good news is that he marries a naga princess named Ulupi and Krishna's sister Subhadra. Some beef happens between Dhritarashtra and Yud, so they decide to gamble. A LOT. They play a dice game where Yud gambles his brothers, his wife, and himself away. Draupadi gets wishes from Dhritarashta so she wishes for all of her husbands to be freed. They get all of their possessions back, and everything is back to normal... UNTIL a second game is declared! I though Yud would learn his lesson but instead he gambles himself into thirteen years of exile. So now all of the Pandavas are in exile but luckily the sun god Surya grants them an endless supply of food for survival. Then there is this huge war plot to get revenge on Duryodhana and his allies. Arjuna obtains specialized weapons from the gods and reunites the Pandavas. However during his journey, a female spirit named Urvashi falls in love with Arjuna. He rejects her which makes her really mad so she curses Arjuna by making him live as a eunuch with women. I've noticed this trend a lot. Guys tend to handle rejection well most of the time, but when girls are rejected, they bring hell onto the guy. I wonder why that is.
