Reading Diary B: Online PDE Mahabharata

I absolutely loved the second story in this section, "Bhima and Hidimba". I enjoyed that fact that Hidimba sent his sister to capture Bhima and his family for food. Rather than doing that, she fell in love with Bhima and tried to convince him to come with her and be her husband. Hidimba had become so angry at this site that he planned to kill them all, including his sister. 

I have really liked Bhima in all of the readings, however, in this piece he sounded really full of himself. "I have arms like the trunks of elephants." Like....... okay?

I thought it was strange that the sister actually got Bhima to marry her. This very powerful man not only married this demon, but he was happy with her and had a child with her. And then just one day they all go to visit Bhima's family and she leaves off with her son.
