Indian Epics

I just added the text to voice and so far its been pretty helpful. I'm able to just sit back and listen to my computer instead of having to read. I would definitely recommend this to someone.

Why rejection hurts so much and what to do about it This article is about rejection and how it affects us. Rejection used to just be within a person to person but now in today's age, people get rejected all the time whether its social media, dating app or even not responding to a text. The same part of our brain is activated when we are rejected and when we are in physical pain. But, rejection is usually manifested in pain inflicted on the person's mind by themselves. This has been passed down from when ancient tribe members were kicked out of their tribes for bad behavior or failure. That gene was passed down in the members who weren't kicked out, as the ones who were kicked out usually died. That is why it feels so painful when we get rejected, that trait came along with genes.

The first story I want to retell is the crocodile and the monkey one. I read the story and also did my practice story about it. I believe I could rewrite that story in 10 different ways. So that is one topic that I want to write about Another project idea that I would like to do is Elephants. I love animals and elephants sound like something fun to write about. It says that elephants are the most distinctive animal in India and you can find a lot of elephants in the Indian storytelling tradition. Two stories that involve elephants are Ganesha and his elephant head Link to Elephant stories Another Indian topic that I would want to write about is Karma. Karma stories usually involve a good amount of action. I feel like a lot of Indian epics involve karma since Karma was started in India. I'm not sure exactly how I would want to go about writing the story but Karma would be cool to write about. Link to Karma Last but not least I think it would be interesting to learn and write...

After the sun sets he then proceeds to go home and stay there until the next sunset. while the rich man lives on top of the mountain a couple of poor people lived down on the base. The two poor people heard about the old man and decided they were fed up with the lifestyle they were living and decided that they deserved a break.

The monkey would leap to a rock in the middle of the river and eat fruit from the trees until he would have to go back home. Also in that river lived a male and female crocodile who saw the monkey-eating fruit on the rock. The female crocodile was hungry for the monkey's heart and asked the male if he could go bring it to her. The crocodile one day then decided to go out and hide under the rock. The monkey came out and saw that the rock was higher than usual and decided to call out to the rock. The crocodile answered and said he came to eat the monkey. The monkey said up your mouth and I will jump in your mouth knowing the crocodile has to close his eyes to eat. The Crocodile opens his mouth and the monkey jumps on it and runs across the bank.

I've decided that I'm going to read the R.K. Narayan's Ramayan book instead of the other one. I've decided to read this one because it seems to be a much modern and less confusing read than the other option. The Lord of Lanka looks interesting because it's about two half brothers who go to war with each other after one of them gets jealous of the wealth of the other A Mother Blinded by Love  also seems like an interesting comic because from the pictures it's a blind woman helping a man in what seems to look like the middle of a war. Ancient Technology - Atlantis and India caught my attention because Old/Ancient technology is very interesting to me because its cool to see how most of our inventions now are just modern forms of previous ones back in time.
