Thanks.
I recall reading the first story - as Roark pointed out, the one about Markandeya (where is he now?), but for the life of me, don't recall the other 2. Maybe I'll have to check out a bookstore some time.

I too used to sleep through many classes - particularly Biology, and later, Semiconductor Electronics (which was flooded w/ Quantum mechanics - I guess the modern equivalent of tantra 😆) W/ some professors, I had to struggle to stay awake, but the Semiconductor teacher was very timid, so I'd just comfortably bury my head & fall asleep in class 😆
About Ganesh & Kartikeya, we discussed this in the Doubts & Discussions thread. In Southern literature, Ganesh precedes Kartikeya, but in Northern literature, Kartikeya precedes Ganesh. I remember, once while visiting Livermore temple in CA, I was shocked to see Ganesh being described as Shiva's elder son, and wondered how could a temple get this wrong. Later, I learned about this difference b/w Northern & Southern traditions.
