Reading Notes: Narayan's Ramayana, Section D


  • Still continuing the thought of High School Rama Drama:
    • Cut to a scene where Sita is being tortured and harassed by cheerleaders or another group along those lines
    •  Ravana is hanging out in this abandoned warehouse with his posse receiving "counsel" from them ("They are just a bunch of weakling nerds. They can't do anything to hurt us.")
    • Someone who is actually disillusioned by the group leaves being done being part of all the horrible things that they do and get away with to join Rama as an ally
    • Montage of assembled army gathering and working in union to take down a bunch of bullies and the establishment
    • Rama and Ravana facing off with spiked bats all across the warehouse battlefield
    • Ravana trying to give himself an unfair advantage with a gun?
  • Okay, but when you think about it, Sita has been in Ravana's possession for months, probably the whole time being watched and harassed by those female rakshasa. She has some incredible willpower if she has been resisting whatever Ravana has put her through up to the point when Hanuman shows up.
    • Write a story from Sita's perspective during the time she was captured
    • Maybe have her escape on her own
  • Instead of the battle between Sugreeva and Vali, make the battle between Rama and Ravana inspired by Dragon Ball
    • Invoking weird magics or powers by screaming them to the heavens
      • Danda (Ravana, seeking missile), Maya (Ravana, illusion), Gnana (Rama, dispel illusion), Thama (Ravana, shroud world in darkness), Shivasthra (Rama, counter to Thama), Garuda (Rama, counter to Ravana's spell for snakes)
      • Ravana chucking boulders and other heaving objects, bouncing off a bubble of air around Rama
      • Rama invokes ultimate technique (originally weapon) of "Brahmasthra" aiming at Ravana's heart
    • Zipping around in Dragon Ball fashion
    • This is not even my final form yet

Introduction to a Tech-Savvy, Overly Caffeinated, Artsy, Green Thumb

Image
Hi, there! My name is Molly. I am a third year Computer Science major at the University of Oklahoma.   Image of Bizzell Memorial Library on the University of Oklahoma campus Web Source: Wikipedia Commons   So first of all, I am not good at coming up with titles. Second, I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is to describe myself as "tech-savvy," but I couldn't think of a better way to put it. As stated before, I am a Computer Science major, so I know how to program in languages like Java and C++. In the years before college when school was still free, I also learned a bit about mobile application and game development. I'm not much of a fan in terms of dealing with hardware, but a year or two ago someone gave me a Raspberry Pi 2, a small but malleable computer, which I was finally able to work on over the summer and turn into a small media box.

Week 11 Story: In Pursuit of a Jewel

Image
Bhama crept through the shadows. She was currently tailing her uncle, Prasenajit, while he was traveling to another country. Recently her father, Satrajit, claimed that he had acquired a jewel known as the Syamantaka from the Sun God that would give him fifty measures of gold per day. Bhama did not doubt the power of this jewel, but she did doubt her father's story of its origin. She knew he must have stolen it at some point while he had gone to visit those aboriginal people in the forest. Her uncle borrowed it because it also has the power to protect its holder from the dangers of the forest. She followed him now in hopes to recover it and return the jewel to its rightful owners. Suddenly a lion burst out from the brush in front of Prasenajit. He squealed in terror. "B-b-back y-you b-b-beast!" he yelled. He thrust the jewel out in front of him in the direction of the lion. It snarled and prowled around him in a circle. Prasenajit's legs were shaking wildly and unco...
