Reading Notes: More Mahabharata Part E + Part F


(Krishna As Envoy: Wikimedia Commons)
  • Yudhisthir was trying to have a ceremony.
  • He needs to call upon a king among the audience to do the honors.
  • He chose Krishna,  but Shishupal objected and became very upset.
  • Shishupal was aggressive with his words, so Krishna used his chakra to remove Shishupal's head from his body.
  • With that, the ceremony continued, and Yudhishtir was crowned emperor.

Tech Tip: Typing Test

So basically, I suck at typing. I averaged 60 WPM on both websites that I used. I thought I typed faster than that, but now that I think about it, I make a lot of mistakes when I type. But I don't think that speed really bothers me all that much. I don't really type that often, so it isn't a skill that I have thought about improving.
