Famous Last Words: Week 5 Update

Week 5 has been a success for me. This week has gone by great for me so far. I read the graphic novel, "Sita: Daughter of the Earth". It was by far my favorite story I have read for this class so far. I can not recommend the graphic novel enough for those who are looking for additional readings. The graphic novel was beautiful and portrayed the story of Sita from a different perspective. I am excited to start reading the Mahabharata. A friend told me that it was more emotional to him compared to the Sita and it actually made him cry, so I am interested to find out more about the Mahabharata.

In addition, this past week has been good. I have pretty much been working and going to school. Preparing for Valentine's day was hectic. There were so many pre-orders to do at my work for Valentines day because everyone wants strawberries that day. However, the week has finally slowed down and now we are pretty much restocking and catching up. I am also excited for this coming week. One of my best friends birthday is coming up so she is having a birthday week celebration, but I will only be celebrating this Friday.

I am also thinking about doing some paid research during the summertime. I am excited to apply for it, so hopefully I will get into the paid research. The topic sounds interesting plus it is paid, so I will not have to worry about lack of money during the summertime. I still do not want summer to come though, because I still need to take my MCAT, and I am no where near prepared for that. These next few months will be me having no life preparing for the MCAT because I want to apply this cycle, so I have to continue working hard, but I think I goth this.

    I may take you up on reading Sita:Daughter of Earth. I am very curious about Sita's story also. I am curious how your friend will spend a whole week celebrating the day of their birth...that will be a lot of activities! I always try to find something fun to do for my birthday, but it always ends up being slightly disappointing. I think something to do with anticipation, haha.
    Love your photo....the chocolate strawberry that you never want to see again! hahaha, too funny. I bet your job smells amazing though.

Week 3 Story: Kooni's Origin

Image
*Note* I have an updated version of my story for my Portfolio on: Carlo's Epics of India "What a freak!" "What an ugly hunchback!" "No one will ever love her." These were the words Kooni heard everyday since her birth. Her own parents did not even want her. Her deformities were too much to handle. Therefore, they dumped her in the Ganges. However, a lovely elderly lady found the baby left in the Ganges and picked her up and raised her.                                                                             This is how Kooni wished she looked growing up during her childhood. Source: Cliparts One day, Kooni was out playing when she heard this huge announcement. The King, Darsatha was arriving to their town. He was bringing his beautiful wife Kaikeyi, and their son Bharatha. Koon...

Week 7 Story: Churning of the Ocean

Image
One day there was a quite an ill tempered sage by the name of Durvaasa. He was traveling one day when he noticed a divine woman who happened to be wearing a garland of flower. He thought the woman was beautiful, yet he thought the garland of flowers were even more beautiful. Thus, he asked the divine beauty for the flowers. She hesitantly gave Sage Durvaasa the flowers, for if she said no to the Sage's request he may have cursed her. Durvaasa left happily with his garland. The god Indra then came down to earth on his elephant named. Airaavat. Durvaasa payed his respect to Indra by giving him the garland. Indra then put the garland on his elephants head. Airaavat then shook the garland off his head and smashed it with his huge feet. This made Durvaasa extremely upset, for he had a bad temper. Durvaasa then cursed Indra because he believed Indra had insulted his gift, so he cursed Indra taking away all the luxuries, strength, and powers of the gods which then caused chaos on Earth....

Many centuries ago, there existed a young woman by the name of Sita. Her parents asked the gods for a child, and the gods blessed them with her. She was found within the Earth, and her parents knew from the moment they saw her, that she would be a blessing. As Sita grew older she constantly hung around her sister, Umila, and her cousins. When she became of age to marry, her father began looking for a suitable man for her. A young man by the name of Rama was perfect for Sita. He was strong and wise beyond his years. Thus, Sita and Rama became married. However, due to the selfishness of Queen Kaikeyi, Rama was forced to go into the wilderness for 14 years, due to a promise his father made with Queen Keikeyi. Therefore, Sita sacrificed her comfort and went into the wilderness with Rama, for she wanted to remain with her husband. Lakshmana, Rama's younger brother joined both, for he supported Rama, Within the wilderness, they encountered many challenges, yet they were able to ...
