Sundara Kānda: Hanuman's Odyssey

Whereas Mahabharata's Bhagvad-Gita is taken as a philosophical guide, Ramayana's Sundara Kãnda is sought for spiritual solace; many believe that reading it or hearing it recited would remove all hurdles and usher in good tidings! Miracles apart, it's in the nature of this great epic to inculcate fortitude and generate hope in man for it’s a depiction of how Hanuman goes about his errand against all odds. Besides, it portrays how Seetha, on the verge of self-immolation, overcomes despair to see life in a new light? With rhythm of its verse and the flow of the narrative this sloka to sloka transcreation of the canto beautiful of Valmiki's adi kavya - the foremost poetical composition in the world, Hanuman's Odyssey that paves the way for Rama to rescue his kidnapped wife is bound to charm the readers and listeners alike. Interestingly, as the following verse illustrates, this epic was the forerunner of the magic realism of our times – “Gripped she then him by shadow / Cast which Hanuman coast to coast, Recalled he in dismay then / What Sugreev said at outset / That one fiend had aptitude / To grip its prey by mere shadow.” On a personal note, my paternal grandfather, Bulusu Thimmaiah-garu, like many in his time, was a life-long practitioner of Sundara Kãnda parayana (the epic’s daily recital in part or full), whose spirituality could have providentially guided me in this, rather an effortless, trans-creative endeavour.

Story of an Hour

"The Story of an Hour" is a short story written by Kate Chopin on April 19, 1894. It was originally published in Vogue on December 6, 1894, as "The Dream of an Hour". It was later reprinted in St. Louis Life on January 5, 1895, as "The Story of an Hour". Kate Chopin also US:born Katherine February 8, 1851 – August 22, 1904)[4] was an American author of short stories and novels based in Louisiana. She is considered by scholars[5] to have been a forerunner of American 20th-century feminist authors of Southern or Catholic background, such as Zelda Fitzgerald, and is one of the most frequently read and recognized writers of Louisiana Creole heritage. She is best known today for her 1899 novel The Awakening. Of maternal French and paternal Irish descent, Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She married and moved with her husband to New Orleans. They later lived in the country in Cloutierville, Louisiana. From 1892 to 1895, Chopin wrote short stories for both children and adults that were published in such national magazines as Atlantic Monthly, Vogue, The Century Magazine, and The Youth's Companion. Her stories aroused controversy because of her subjects and her approach; they were condemned as immoral by some critics. Her major works were two short story collections and two novels. The collections are Bayou Folk (1894) and A Night in Acadie (1897). Her important short stories included "Désirée's Baby" (1893), a tale of miscegenation in antebellum Louisiana,[6] "The Story of an Hour" (1894),[7] and "The Storm" (1898).[6] "The Storm" is a sequel to "At the Cadian Ball (1892)," which appeared in her first collection of short stories, Bayou Folk.[6] Chopin also wrote two novels: At Fault (1890) and The Awakening (1899), which are set in New Orleans and Grand Isle, respectively. The characters in her stories are usually residents of Louisiana, and many are Creoles of various ethnic or racial backgrounds. Many of her works are set in Natchitoches in north-central Louisiana, a region where she lived. Within a decade of her death, Chopin was widely recognized as one of the leading writers of her time.[8] In 1915, Fred Lewis Pattee wrote, "some of [Chopin's] work is equal to the best that has been produced in France or even in America. [She displayed] what may be described as a native aptitude for narration amounting almost to genius."[8]

Palace Life: The Rings of Secrets

In a post-apocalypse world, the world has finally resettled back to societies. The catch- the evolution chains had sped up. New species and new races have emerged since the world was turned upside down three thousand years ago. Old technologies have been lost, and new technologies have been found. The world has changed and so have the survivors' descendants. Mutations in their DNA have led to a world filled with superhuman powers. The strongest of the powers have always been the elementalists. All powers are inherited with few deviations in the bloodlines. The Crown Prince of Glear is a student of the Royal Academy, where his classes are in the Government Department. He leads a normal life going to and from school with his princely duties on the side. His life turns stressful when his father, the King of Glear, does not have long to live. The Royal Court has deemed that the young Crown Prince must wed before the king passes. Aphra "Ginny" Harkins is a scholarship student attending the Royal Academy in the Kingdom of Glear. She is widely known as "Director Ginny" for her artistic productions in the Arts Department in school. Everyone knows that she is from a lesser nobility that her maternal grandfather formed. She leads a peaceful life in school, even though her status is the lowest. Peaceful, that is, until she gets a decree to marry the Crown Prince of Glear. Apparently, her maternal grandfather had saved the late King of Glear. In gratitude, the late King gave him a noble title and declared that their grandchildren would rule the kingdom since their children were already grown and with families of their own. Two rings were formed to symbolize their engagement agreement, and Ginny wears it around her neck with a necklace given to her paternal great-grandmother by the Queen of Edalelia. Why the Queen of Edalelia? Let's just say that "Ginny" has many secrets... including one with the Crown Prince of Glear. Excerpt: "Do not fear, I will make sure that I find the most expensive one (ring)," said Maxen (the Crown Prince of Glear) as he puffed out his chest. "It does not need to be the most expensive, just that you have to have a story or a reason to getting that ring," responded Ginny. "Oh, do not worry. Leave everything to me," he smiled brilliantly at her as she seemed to understand his hidden intentions and smiled back while giggling to herself. "Heh! Once we divorce, that shiny expensive ring will be going to the Royal Vault. You will never see it again!" thought Maxen. "It was easy to manipulate this naïve prince into buying a ring from my own wears. Even if we divorce, he still would have paid me for buying that ring. What's more, the publicity for a Crown Prince buying from my store will bring me more revenue!" thought Ginny. Years later, while looking at her ring, "This ring really does suit my wife best! It belongs on your finger, only!" "Hmph! If we had divorced back then, I would have bribed you for this ring. It was a ring that my late father had commissioned for my late mother. It is too sentimental for me!" ***** This story is about two people forced into a relationship that both didn't want until forming an alliance to "Marry now, Divorce later." About letting go of the past, redemption, and ultimately, love.
