Some of you know and most of you don't, probably, about a page I have
on the game Snakes and Ladders. I'll put that link below, but
someone found it who has created a 21st century version tying back to
ancient myths and illustrating the fundamentals of commerce and
management. He wants to know if I could include it on my page.


I said yes, please! I hope to have an image and some links t
articles. I'm going to put the letter up with links to the stories
and characters from Hindu mythology, too, if I can find good pages.
This is very, very exciting to me.

dear sandra,

I am Dr K.P.Sastry educator in Karimnagar found a novel way to
unite love of board games.I created a new version of the popular game
Snakes and Ladders (VYKUNTAPALI) that teaches the fundementals of
commerce and management.I am working as reader in commerce at SRR
government degree and PG college. I used snakes to represent upward
trends and ladders to show downward trends in commerce.For example,
population explosion is represented by a snake and brings players to
poverty,whereas advertising,which leads to higher sales,is
represented by a ladder.In this innovation chart, the basic concepts
of 10 subjects,including accountancy,industrial organisation and
management,marketing,stock exchange speculation and banking are
illustrated using natural and mythological referencas,ranging from
farms and animals to the stories of ARTHNAREESWARA TATWAM and
KSHEERASAGAR MATHANAM.for instance,NARADA (the one who monitors
information among the three worlds or lokas) int the chart
illustrates the importance of effective communication management.This
game is basically a low cost teaching aid.My idea was to present the
fundamentals of commerce pictorially in the form of a game.I worked
on the idea by revising and improving on the original Snakes and
Ladders game and symbolically incorporating concepts of commerce. The
chart was appreciated by several newspapers and UGC ETC.

I am very happy to know that you are also very much interested in
snakes and ladders games of the above type; Now I request you to
inform me about the possibility of incorporating my chart also in
your website.




yours Friendly
