Reading Notes: Mourning

Reading Notes for Mourning , which I found on PDE Mahabharata -A person on the battlefield has just lost 100 sons -A lot of people were mourning the lost lives of their family members. -Kunti's 5 sons were still alive, but they mourned the dead together -The dead were prepared for burial with perfumed linen and then burned -New people were brought in to be rulers -I would like to rewrite this story to go on my website, but I am having trouble thinking of a way that I could use the humor from Friends and still pay due respect to the Mahabharata.                                                                Mourning of the Dead
