  Omkar Sankar This is awesome information you are sharing !!! A suggestion....why don't you put it out in the form of a quiz, get all your fans (!!!) to go out and look for answers, and then you give them the answers the next day ?? Maybe a couple of words a day for which we all go out and look for word origins. One of my friends does it in the form of a "connect it" quiz every friday, saturday, and sunday for his friends on FB, and all of us run off on the internet to research for answers. Almost a treasure hunt on the web !!! He even gives us points for the right answer, announces weekly winners, and so on !!!

  Dinesh Kumar Bhandia While on the subject, there are so many similarities in the stories told in the now famous Mythologies, some times I wonder if they are the same ones being told in different languages as interpreted by individuals. 
  
  The Knowledge that we see existing in the mythologies are so well classified and structured , that if accepted our modern science will be rendered baseless  
  
  Yes Omkar Sankar great idea here ..

  Jayakumar Prabakaran Ma'm, I also wondered if there was a parallel in Krishna's death. It was his weak point too...Please enlighten me if I am wrong.

  -Sandeep Kumar Jain I remember miss, we used to have an English Literary Club in our school, which used to meet every week, after school hours... This I think is leading to re-creation of that club. Can we meet once a month? If not every week.. it could be a great Alumni bonding event as well. .

  Rama Devi There are such stories, too, Jayakumar Prabakaran! But they have not gained much popularity. The hunter is believed to be Vali who was killed by Vishnu in his previous avatar!

  Sabarinath Baskaran Yes mam, back to school, lets try to meet on a particular day in a month in our school itself, we can improvise it in future if we want depending upon the strength of the people attending. Any other better ideas also welcome.
