Thoughts About Comments
As I went through the various comments that have been left for me, I noticed that the most helpful ones were the most critical. I mean it is nice to have people praise what I have written, but I would rather have someone read it critically and help me improve. The most interesting comments have been the ones that have been personally. Whether the commenter had something personal to say in regards to my story or about themselves, those are the most interesting. I think I have done an alright job with my comments. I'm afraid to say anything negative about the writing of other people, but I need to begin helping others because I want to be helped myself. Overall, I know I can do a better job.

Storytelling for Week 5: My Wife is a Psychopath
"Hello, you must be Mr. Shantanu. My name is Dr. Smith, and my speciality is relationship counseling. How my I help you?"
Mr. Shantanu looked the doctor straight in the eye and said, "I am married to a psychopath."
Mr. Shantanu didn't plan on marrying a psychopath, but I guess no one ever does. When the new client said this, Dr. Smith didn't know whether he should believe Mr. Shantanu or not. Mr. Shantanu had all the physical signs that he was telling the truth. He wasn't fidgeting, sweating, or avoiding eye contact, but his story just seemed too strange to be real.
"Well, Doc, a couple of years ago I lived in this old log cabin. It was a beautiful place, but I had to always go out and get fire wood. One day while I was cutting firewood I saw a beautiful woman. She didn't seem like she was from this world because she was so beautiful."
"What did you do?" Dr. Smith asked.
"What another young man would do if he saw a pretty girl. I walked right up and introduced myself. She looked at me and said, 'I'm not interested in formalities such as these. What is it exactly that you want?' I replied by saying, 'I want you and nothing but you for the rest of my life.' I was so nervous about what she would say next."
"What did she say next?" The doctor questioned.
"She said, 'Fine, I will marry you, but you must promise to never question what I do.' I was completely shocked because I didn't formally propose, but, hey, she agreed to marry me. Needless to say, I was thrilled. So thrilled, in fact, that I didn't think twice about her rule."
"I don't see what the problem is in your relationship. Her rule is indeed strange, but some woman enjoy their privacy."
"I'm not done yet, Doc. I honestly forgot her promise she made me make. After the honeymoon phase of our relationship was over and life began, I remembered her promise. I couldn't think of a reason why she would say such a thing. During those first few month of marriage I hadn't seen anything that was worth questioning her about. She was normal. In fact, she was wonderful."
Dr. Smith sat intently, but he still wasn't able to see what the problem was in his client's marriage. His client continued, "She became pregnant and I was thrilled. I had always wanted children, and I knew she was going to be a wonderful mother. We endured the pregnancy together and were so happy. Then she gave birth to an absolutely stunning child."
Mr. Shantanu shed a tear of joy as he remembered this joyful time. "This was the happiest day of my life. But I had been up all night during the child birth and decided to take a nap. When I woke up I found my wife sleeping peacefully and the baby missing. I woke her and said, 'Hey, sweetheart, where is our child?' 'In the river,' she said. I was completely shocked. Before I could start questioning her further, she added, 'You promised not to question me. You must stay true to your word. Our child is dead and there shall be no more questions about it.' That's all she had to say."
The doctor was completely silent. He looked at Mr. Shantanu, but didn't have the words to say.
"I just kept wondering who was this woman I married? I mean how could she kill our own child? She seemed so lovely. I just don't understand how something like this could happen. But there is nothing I can do. My firstborn is gone."
It took a few minutes for Mr. Shantanu to compose himself before he continued. "This has happened six other times, Doc. Every time she gives birth, she gets up, takes the child to the river, drowns them and then returns with a smile on her face. But there is nothing I can do about it. I promised I wouldn't question her. Now she is pregnant with our eighth child and I don't want to see this happen again."
The doctor looked him in the eyes and gave him sincere advice. "Mr. Shantanu, this is a problem I have never faced before. I am almost speechless. Clearly we have a lot to unpack with this situation. But for starters, sir, your wife is a murderer. We need to address this issue first in the concern of your eighth child. You and I have doctor-patient confidentiality, so I can't report your wife's behavior. Mr. Shantanu, you need to begin thinking about how turning your wife into the police might be your only way to save your eighth child."
Mr. Shantanu was silent for a few moments then said, "Well, Doc, I'm not sure I can do that yet. But I'll go home and think about it and see you next week."
Author's Note:
This was a story that was briefly told in the Mahabharata. In my opinion, the story was too brief. I wanted to know more about this story, especially how King Shantanu was handling the situation, so I decided to explore the emotions of King Shantanu. Instead of calling him King I decided to call him Mister in order to place him in a more modern time frame. This story isn't a situation that we see in our modern time, but I think that adds to the suspense of the story. I also think it adds to his feeling that his wife is a psychopath. But I also wanted to stay fairly true to the original story. In the original story this "crazy woman" was a goddess named Ganga. She became incarnate as a human to help the Vasus, gods who are punished to be born as humans. She helped them by killing them as soon as they were born, but her husband was kept in the dark about all this. I didn't want to add a lot of glitz and glam, just focus on the emotion part of it. That is why I wanted to bring in a counselor. They focus on people's emotions so I thought that would be a good way to help focus my story. Overall, this story was a lot of fun to write and I really enjoyed exploring the emotions. Instead of focusing on the main story of the Mahabharata, I focused on a smaller story and tried to expand on it.

Reading Diary B: Narayan's Mahabharata
I'm still having a hard time with this story. I'm having a hard time finding anything I enjoy in it yet. And I think that is because I am having such a hard time keeping all the characters straight. I am mostly drawn to the stories about Draupadi. I think a lot can be written about having 5 husbands. Like how Arjuna was exiled after intruding on Yudhishthira and Draupadi during the year she was married to him. I think you could write a story about this but with someone having 5 possessions. Like having 5 kittens.
So eventually then get a city and Yudhishthira is the king. They have like a hall for optical illusions and make fun of Duryohana. Which probably wasn't the smartest choice.
Yudhishthira is challenged to a game of dice. Loses everyone. Then he gambles Draupadi although she is on her time of the month. I like the story of her robe. She ends up getting three wishes. She wishes for Yudhishthira to be free, then her other four husbands to be free. She declines a third wish. At this point I would wish to be out of there.
They go back and gamble. Maybe write about gambling problems and then they are exiled again. They get an endless supply of food in a copper bowl from Surya.
Arjuna turns down the advances of Urvashi. So he is now a eunuch, but in the end it is supposed to be a blessing.
Overall, I had a hard time following this part of the book. I hope I begin to enjoy the story more.

Reading Diary A: Narayan's Mahabharata
I understand that this is the start of a new book but I am having a hard time keeping all the characters straight. So there is Dhritarashtra the blind one. Pandu the pale one. And Vindura the one without a flaw. Pandu is cursed and one of his wives has a mantra to get to sleep with the gods. She did a trial run and had a child with the Sun God named Karna, she puts him in a river.
Pandu gets Yudhishthira (Yama and Kunti), Bhima (Vayu and Kunti), Arjuna (Indra and Kunti) and Shadeva and Nakula (twins from Ashwins and Madri)
Pandu sleeps with Madri and both die.
They go to live with Dhritarashtra. They have problem with their cousins (I think there is like a hundred of them). They all get trained. Then there is the contest to show off their skills and Karna comes and challenges Arjuna. I think Karna is the first son, the one of the son god.
Pandavas exiled, their family tries to kill them, they escape through a hole in the ground.
Ok I think I understand the story from here.
I think the story of Draupadi is an interesting one. She now has to share five husbands which hasn't happened before. I wonder what her thought process was. I wonder if she was happy or upset that this was her fate. I know she used to be Nalayani and was married to a sage and he slept with her as five different men. But he left and she prayed and now that's why in this life she has five husbands. But does she know about her other life? If she doesn't then I can imagine her being upset about this whole ordeal. But I'm not 100% sure.

Storytelling Week 4: What Happened to Sita?
On this episode of the Ramayana we pick up where we left off last week. After last week's episode you took to the internet leaving thousands of comments. You wanted to know was that really the end of Ramayana. You were angry at us and thought that was the end. Well we are here to tell you tonight that the story isn't over. Welcome back folks let's begin.
Narrator: When we left Sita she had just proven her faithfulness to Rama by returning to the womb of Mother Earth. We pick up now with Sita in the realm of the gods with Mother Earth.
Sita: Mother Earth, I know I should feel so happy, being in the realm of the gods but I miss Rama so much. He was my everything. And I look down on the other humans in relationships like Rama and I's and I want to help. I don't want them to suffer like I did.
Mother Earth: Sita my child, you are of such pure heart. I know you miss Rama, but he did not see your purity. But you can't stay here with us forever, so we want to give you a job.
Sita: A job?
Mother Earth: Yes a job. We want you to go to the human world and be the intervener.
Sita: What do you mean?
Mother Earth: Go to the heart broken couples Sita, the ones who are grieve stricken and guide them. The humans will respect you, they will know who you are. Everyone will know who you are. Now go. Return after every couple in the world has been healed.
Narrator: With that Sita was gone. She flew done to earth like a falling star. She went to couple after couple in every corner of the earth to help them with their pained relationships. She enjoyed her job at first. But as the weeks began to pass things became unbearable.
Sita: Oh Rama! Why couldn't you have believed me? I worshiped you! I never looked at any man aside from you!
Narrator: Sita wept every night. There was nothing that could ease her pain. Her tears brought a year long rainy season all across the world. But one day Sita ran across a couple named Sarah and Benjamin. She had come to fix their problems. Sarah had cheated on Benjamin and Sita knew that Benjamin was going to leave her or do something worse, so she was coming to intervene. But before she could intervene she listened to their conversation.
Benjamin: Sarah, I know what you did. What you did broke my heart.
Sarah: Benjamin, I am so sorry! I love you and I didn't mean to do it! It'll never happen again, I promise.
Benjamin: I appreciate your promise Sarah, but...
Sarah: No Benjamin don't do this!
Narrator: Sita was about to stop the fight when all of a sudden Benjamin said.
Benjamin: Sarah I know you didn't mean it. I know you won't do it again. The road from here won't be easy, but we are worth it. I love you with all of my heart and I will not let you go. We can work through this. We might crash in the end, that depends on how much work we both but into this, but I'm willing to commit if you are.
Narrator: Sita was in shock.
Sita: How can a man say something like that? How can he forgive her? She actually cheated on him. I didn't even cheat on Rama and he still wanted nothing to do with me. I was the most loyal and pure woman to ever walk to earth. Why couldn't he trust me like Benjamin trusts Sarah?
Narrator: Sita's perspective of Rama changed after that. She respected him as the father of her two sons and she would always love him for that, but she stopped crying. The world experienced peace and abundance that was unprecedented. Now you might be wandering what happened to Rama. He was doing well. Married someone new and they had a few children together. But one day they had a terrible fight and the intervener came.
Sita: Hello, my name is Sita I have been sent by the gods on a special...Rama?
Rama: Sita?
Sita: I didn't know that I was coming to help you. Who is this?
Rama: This is my wife Rebecca. Sita I have so much I want to say to you. I still love you, I should have never doubted you. I should have known you would always be true to me. I was a fool.
Rebecca: Excuse me?
Sita: Rama, Rebecca I am here to help you both. But to do that I need to say something to Rama first. Rama you are right. You should have known. You shouldn't have tested me the first time with the fire and you shouldn't have tested me a second time. But now you don't get to test me anymore. Rama I loved you and now I have forgiven you. I have nothing but the highest regard for you, but I honestly deserve better than you. So, let me do my job and help you and your wife. Learn from your mistakes and be better to her.
Narrator: So Sita gave Rama and Rebecca advice and they had a beautiful marriage. Sita was able to watch both of her sons get married and have successful relationships. Sita never remarried. But she was happy. There was always a new couple to help and Sita was never lonely. She found what her heart truly desired.
Author's Note:
My reading for this week was the movie Sita Sings the Blues. This movie had a slightly modern twist to it so I wanted to add more modern flare to this story. I again wanted to focus on Sita. I wrote my story as if it were a story in a television series and I wanted to tell the story of what happened to Sita after Rama. I honestly don't picture Sita doing this, but it would be cool if she did. I think she should stand up for herself and this was my way of exploring that idea.

Reading Diary B: Sita Sings the Blues
What a great little movie. I am so sad it's over. The last part of the watching of the movie wasn't as good as the firsts, but that might be because most of the action happened in the first.
I like that you could see either regret or sympathy on the man's face who took Sita to the woods. Made me think he might do something different aside from leaving her there.
I really don't like that after everything Sita went through and everything she did to prove herself that Rama still didn't trust her. It might just be that I live in a different culture but he just seems to completely mistreat her. I saw Rama as this great just man, but he mistreats and distrusts his wife. Again this negative feeling might be because I live in a different culture.
I do like though the one tear that Rama sheds for Sita. Maybe he did love her through it all, but wanted to be a noble ruler. Although I think a ruler should be able to make up his own mind. Why didn't he just convince the people that Sita was pure. It seems like he didn't even try. But the tear was a nice part.
I finally figured out that the weird story about the couple was used because she would one day write the movie. What a unique idea. I want to experiment with writing a parallel story that doesn't seem to relate but in the end it does relate.

Reading Diary A: Sita Sings the Blues
Well I don't know actually what I was expecting form this video but I see the story in a whole new light! I love getting to see Sita more in this story. One thing that I have noticed is that Rama's fame and glory hasn't really been explained as well as in the book. So, at times Rama just seems like a hot-shot instead of the respectable character that he is.
Like I previously stated I really enjoy getting to explore Sita more. I tried to explore a story in her point of view last week, so it is nice to see a different potential point of view for her. I don't think that I knew before that the bridge to Lanka built by Rama is "still there today". To me this is really cool. I might want to work with this story.
I like that Sita sings the blues. This is a modern twist on a myth and I really think it is a creative way to enhance this story. Just a side note, I really don't understand the role of the couple from San Francisco. I am not sure if they will reveal something or if they have any other significant role in the film yet.
Oh I also like all the different drawing styles, I think this is an inspiration for all the different writing styles I can play around with.
