Can you imagine the epic Mahabharata being beautifully summed up in just 36 tweets. Yes that’s the beauty of technology. That’s exactly the kind of story, we at WireCult thrive to bring to you – seamless amalgamation of Wire (read technology) and Culture.
The Mahabharata described as “the longest poem ever written”. About 1.8 million words in total, the epic is almost ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the Ramayana.
Eminent mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik has performed the herculean task of narrating the whole of Mahabharata in just 36 tweets in a little over 40 minutes. As you can understand how fleeting the narrative would be but like Shakespeare said, brevity is the soul of wit!
