Do you know that the first playwright was Bhāsa, but unfortunately, his plays were found in the year 1909 C.E.
It is quite surprising that the person who is mentioned and praised by well-known playwrights and authors; his plays are found after those playwrights and commentators gave their take and praise on Bhāsa's plays.
In 1909, T. Gaṇapatiśāstrī, a महामहोपाध्याय took a responsibility of cataloguing all the Sanskrit manuscripts. While searching for the manuscripts, he found 13 manuscripts which were actually plays but without the name of author. When the characters were studied it was concluded that the plays were of Bhāsa. These 13 plays had similar pattern of play, so it was definitely penned down by the same writer. These plays were not available to people in the time period of around 14th Century to 19th Century, as the mentions and descriptions of these plays were found in other literature as if that person has watched the performance of the play. But during the same time period, a community of artists चाक्यार used to perform it on stage without knowing about their authorship. These plays were published as authored by Bhāsa in 1913 by T. Gaṇapatiśāstrī at Travancore. Their were many counterviews as well about the plays not being of Bhāsa, but today, this is the widely accepted opinion.

Namaste! Welcome to the Monday Story Series by Sanskrit Vedashree
The story of Kurma avatar is from the माध्यन्दिन part of शतपथ ब्राह्मण –

तेऽर्च्चन्त: श्राम्यन्तश्चेरु:।श्रमेण ह स्म वै तद्देवा जयन्ति यदेषां जय्यमासर्षयष्च्च तेभ्यो देवा वैव प्प्रोचयाञ्चक्रु: स्वयं वैव दध्र्दिरे प्प्रेत तदेष्ह्यमो यतो देवा: स्वर्गं लोक: समाश्नुवतेति ते किं प्ररोचत ऽ इति चेरुरेत्त्पुरोडाशमेव कूर्म्मं भूत्त्वा सर्प्पन्तं ते ह सर्व्वं ऽ एव मेनिरेऽयं वै यज्ञ ऽ इति ॥३॥

ते होचु:। अश्विभ्यां तिष्ठ्ठ सरस्वत्यै तिष्ठ्ठेन्द्राय तिष्ठ्ठेति स ससर्प्पैवाऽग्नये तिष्ठ्ठेति ततस्तस्थावग्नये वाऽअस्थादिति तमग्नावेव परिगृह्य सर्व्वहुतमजुहवुराहुतिर्हि देवानां ततऽएभ्यो यज्ञः प्प्रारोचत तमसृजन्त तमतन्न्वत सोऽयं परोऽवरं यज्ञोऽनूच्च्यते पितैव पुत्राय ब्रह्मचारिणे ॥४॥
- शतपथ ब्राह्मण; काण्ड १, अध्याय ६, श्लोक ३,४

Translation:
They went on praising and toiling for by, the gods indeed gained what they wished to gain and the sages. Now whether it be that the Gods caused it to attract them or whether they took to it of their own accord, they said, 'Come, let us go to the place whence the Gods obtained possession of the
world of heaven!' They went about saying. What attracts? What attracts? and came upon the sacrificial cake which had become a tortoise and was creeping about Then they. all thought. This surely must be the sacrifice!" - [3]

They said, "Stand still for the Ashwins! sides at Stand still for Saraswati! Stand still for Indra!" still it crept on "Stand still for Agni!" at this it stopped. Having then enveloped it in fire, knowing, as they did, that it had stopped for Agni, they offered it up entirely, for it was an oblation to the Gods. Then the sacrifice pleased them they produced it, they spread it and this same sacrifice is taught by the former to the later; the father to his son when he is a student - [4]
Here, the story is different than the tale Kurma avatar narrated elsewhere. Here, we find that the पुरोडाश i.e. sacrificial cake offered in the altar gets transformed into a turtle.

In the season of monsoon, the raindrops, lush green plants everywhere, freshness in the atmosphere and the mild fragrance of soil makes all of us feel fresh and gives us energy as these raindrops leads to new creation and new creation motivates us always!
The rainy clouds always remind me of the masterpiece by Kalidasa, none other than Meghadootam.

कर्तुं यज्व प्रभवति महीमुच्छिलीन्ध्रामवन्ध्यां
तच्छ्रुत्वा ते श्रवणसुभगं गर्जितं मानसोक्ताः।
आकैलासाद्विसकिसलयच्छेदपाथेयवन्तः
संपत्स्यन्ते नभसि भवतो राजहंसाः सहायाः॥
-- मेघदूतम् (१.११)

Translation --
On hearing the welcome sound of your mighty thunder, whose power carpets the earth in a bloom of wild mushrooms. Imperial cranes eager to reach Lake Manasa will join you in the sky, carrying lotus stalks to nourish themselves on their way to Kailasa.

वितरति गुरुः प्राज्ञे विद्यां यथैव तथा जडे
न तु खलु तयोर्ज्ञाने शक्तिं करोति अपहन्ति वा |
भवति हि पुनर्भूयान्भेदः फलं प्रति तद्यथा
प्रभवति शुचिर्बिम्बग्राहे मणिर्नमृदाञ्चयाः ||
- उत्तररामचरितम् (Act 2, Verse 4)

The teacher imparts the knowledge to the clever as well as to dullard, but he does not indeed give them the talent for learning, nor does he take away and there is a great difference between them with respect to results. It happens thus, a pure jewel is able to take in a reflection, not so a lump of clay and other things.

On this occasion of Guru Pournima, let us all bow down to our gurus and celebrate Guru Pournima. We, Sanskrit Vedashree wish you a very Happy Guru Pournima to all the gurus out there.
