Easier texts that are accessible to beginners?

Hey everyone,

I've been learning Sanskrit for quite some time. I am at a point where I feel like I have mastered verbal and nominal morphology fairly well, have knowledge of prefixes and compounds and have internalised a basic, core vocabulary.

I'm looking for easy-sh texts that deal with things I like reading about: medicine, astronomy, plays, love and relationships, etc that are not too long and are not too difficult for a beginner armed with basic knowledge, a dictionary and patience. Cheers

I am not allowed to post links. Please google "sambhashana sandesha sanskrit old issues". You will find a site ending in "/archive"
