SitaRamayana - Kids Version

Sunil and Mehak, loved each other, they were from a different religion, but they struggled and got married, with their parent's concern.

They struggled to make an impactful life.
The kids were sent to kids care at times baby caretakers took care of them.
They used to get occupied by their work, but they strived to make time for the kids.
On the rotational basis they used to come a bit early, they managed their work and family.

Both Sunil and Mehak learned cooking by seeing the cookery shows and various youtube video, raising the child was not easy.
Pacifying the kids were difficult, they lost their sleep.
Dressing the kids taking them out, took a toll on them.

At times they used to fight like dogs and cat.
Once they see the kids face, they forget everything and started to share household chores.

With so many issues going around the world, both of them were worried about raising a kid in such a world.

Mehak: Sunil I can't raise kids, in a greedy world. There is so much of violence, every day it makes sick to see the news with so much negative news.
Sunil: I understand buddy.
We need to have control over their access to electronic media.
There are good and bad things in this world, let's block the bad and teach them good things, and let them learn to handle bad things with their learnings.
Mehak: Agreed.

Both of them had a proper plan, of raising the kids, they shared the devices only for an hour for the kids to play.
Rest of the time, they asked them to play with the clay, to get the feel of sand and creativity.

Mehak and Sunil started spending time with the children, every night they used to narrate the same bedtime stories to both the kids.

It was the story about modern SitaRamayanam.

Mehak: The King went on the hunting trip.
He saw the tiger at a distance, slowly he moved back opened his bag and shot it with his weapon.
Neetu: Mommy, did the tiger died? He is a bad king!
Mehak: No dear, the king used his DSLR camera, to hunt the beast.
The beast got captured in the frame but was free in the forest.
He Showed his bravery to his people, with his wildlife photography.
While he was returning, he saw a wounded man with his blind parents.
He helped them and got the blessings for his deeds.
Sanjay: Mommy.
Why didn't he kill the tiger, it is a maneater?
Mehak: No Sanjay, hunting is nature of wild animals not for us, we are civilized not a beast.
We can express our bravery by wildlife photography and make others to save those fast extinct animals.
Sunil: Ok mommy, I will tell the same to my friends.
Mehak: The king got blessed with three kids, The Ram, Lakshmanan, and Bharathan.
They were warriors, and they avoided wars by resolving issues by communications.
Rama, in spite of being a princess, he attended swayamwaram, to marry a girl.
The person who wins the challenge will be asked to marry the girl with her concerns.
Rama broke the bow, and made his presence in the swayamwaram and got married to Sita with her concern after proving his self-worth.

Sita, her self was a warrior princess she was a master in sword a true princess of their state.
Both of them got married, but there was a severe drought in their state.
One of the Rishi said that they need to plant the Virtue tree in their state, for that the princess Ram needs to get that plant.
Neetu: But mommy, by planting how drought gets solved?
Mehak: Tree attracts clouds. They maintain the earth's temperature.

On the way they encountered with a demon princess Shurpanakha, she fell in love with Rama, instantaneously. She kept tortured him, out of Rage there was a fight between Sita and the demon princes she got a chance to kill the demon but forgave her.

Neetu: Why mom, she should have killed, that bad aunty!

Sunil: Neetu dear, I told you right we should not force someone to love. Sita defeated her and made her understand that her Husband was not an object meant for others.

Shurpanakha was not ready to accept failure.
She used her brother's love in the wrong way.
Ravana blinded by affection lost his mind.
Out of Rage, he abducted Sita with manipulation.

Ram was true by heart; nothing could separate him from her. Hanuman and other petit animals helped him while battling the powerful demon.
Sita believed in her love.
Demons tried to torture her, being a warrior woman
she won all her battles.
To prove their love, she lived patiently for Ram to rescue her.
Every life form helped Ram, to reach her.
Sanjay: Papa What good can squirrel do for him.
Sunil: Our ancestors lived with animals.  Don't judge by size.
Sanjay: got it, papa.
Sunil: There were discussions, but Ravana was not ready for negotiation. He wanted the war.
Mehak: The Ravana got defeated. He pleaded for death.
Ram forgave Ravana to symbolize how blind love
devastated a good brother.
He explained the truth and left the place with Sita and Lakshmanan.
Ravana lived with guilt throughout his life.

They took the Virtuous tree, and they planted it in their state, clouds got attracted, the thick forest formed.
The other lifeforms contributed to retaining flora and fauna.
The entire kingdom flourished in green, to show prosperity.

Neetu and Sanjay shared their paren's version of SitaRamayana, to other kids. They started planting the trees and helped other life forms. There was a change in their behaviors and belief.

What you have sown, gets reaped. Nourish it to see the yielding.

The secret of Epics, depicting God and Demons as a human is to convey both Ram, Ravan, Sita, and Surphanakh exist within us.
How we fight and win over them decides the future of the world and people surrounding us.
Let the god win by slaughtering the demon thoughts within.

The Change Makers

Maliga Puram is a village near the outskirts of Bangalore. With a lot of colleges nearby but students need to travel by bus and need to walk a lot.
The village once was filled with people and resources, was left to the mercy of the god.
Where most of the people started to migrate, the agricultural fields got dried due to severe drought. Farmers were committing suicide due to the lack of yields and debts.
The schools were there in the village, but due to lack of maintenance, the school buildings were falling apart, and kids stopped attending it.

Clarke was the youngster who hailed in this village. He struggled with his communication, as he didn’t get the exposure to English or the accents been used by the students, in the city.
He worked hard and completed schooling and was able to get into the college, with great difficulty.

He watched and listened to the movies and news, with subtitles. He used the internet, to learn the subjects, with which he gained the confidence to face life.

Being from the village, he was concerned about his people, though he was from Arts background. He learned a lot from his friends and college mates from other departments.
He learned about drip irrigation that is useful for areas suffering from droughts and started exploring on others.

He formed a Facebook group ChangeMakers where students from various backgrounds shared their knowledge to make the change to society.
It got promoted with a word of spread from students within his college.

A challenge gets posted, and students come up with a suggestion.

The Engineers designed horizontal turbines where the water levels were low in the river stream they used it to generate electricity. They used a coating of cow dung in rooms to act as insulators. Bamboos with minute holes pinched throughout it got buried in various places in the village and sides of the road. It helped in retaining the ground waters during the heavy rainfall.
Gravels and broken rocks in the lake beds reduced the evaporations in summer and retained water.

They used a set of plants and formed a moving purifier on the black waters, where the roots of the plants fed on the contaminated water.
The only maintenance was to replace the plants and the plastic base packed with a net.

By applying the defend mechanism, instead of chemicals in agriculture, they avoided many side effects.
The botany and zoologist students worked together and found the insects that attack the crops and the predators for those insects.
They made an effort to raise those predators, with a careful study of their behavior on the crops, thereby reducing the cost and dependency of a lot of chemical fertilizers.

They collaborated with a radio channel, where the tips were given by the professors and scientists, from various organizations it gave a chance, for the farmers to discuss their concern issues.
The farmers from villages who won the drought successfully got a chance to share their experiences with others.

With a small investment, they purchased a set of vacuum packaging machines.
It helped the farmers to pack, and sell the products to the market, by increased the shelf life to an extent.

The MBA students used an opportunity to market.They came up with a business plan and was shared, to their Dean, and retailer.

A small market got set up within their campus by partnering with the retailer, as part of the initiative, the middle brokers got avoided,
The College staffs and students purchased the groceries and the vegetables from the market much below the market price. The part of the profit amount got used for the development of more such villages.

The group got the sponsors, for the program and students from B.ED conducted a skype based education with recorded sessions to the teachers and students at times along with the help of their alumni students and retired professors.

The Civil engineers from their group experimented and came up with a different structure for the building by changing the composition of the concrete mixtures, with some funds in place they were able to complete the project.

To establish gender equality, students from psychology backgrounds and arts worked together they started conducting the street plays and puppet shows with a modified version of Epics, by highlighting, gender equality by quoting examples from epics.

The villagers and people who watched the program started to understand the importance of educating all the genders and started to say No to the child marriages.
For paraphrasing, the media students placed the posters in appropriate places like post office and schools.

To address the child labor issue, students raise the fund by conducting programs on music, art exhibition, mime, drama shows, and photography, they sold it through their college website and they marketed the same through social media and with word of mouth, some of the celebrities as well contributed for the cause by doing a free show. The success of this idea has been because of students, as it was intended to be a social cause, not another business.
The funds raised used to keep the students in school as a stipend/meal-snacks.
They were able to convince the parents, as education will provide them a bright future.
The stipend was less but good enough to sustain their family.

Humanity students narrated the importance of knowing their rights by sharing the "Sahaas App" designed for gender safety in two languages they explained villagers once in a while during their NSS camp on the peace and security by referring to Red Elephant Foundation team’s freely available contents.

The students’ group conducted the Smart Phone donation program.
Where the students donated their old working smartphones, they uploaded the course contents developed by the media. Media students produced content for the government syllabus with YouTube licensed videos.

To address the medical issues, they trained some of the volunteers from the village with the help of students, who were pursuing the nurse and MBBS. It subdued serious wounds with delayed medical attention, as the first aid saved much life.


With mechanical engineers working together, they designed a flexible van where they could change the seats into an ambulance, and the same could be used for the transportation of vegetables as well.

All these innovations they did as a project and claimed the patent.

The group became popular.
The students gained knowledge and started to produce, entrepreneurs.

The village once which was deteriorating, renamed as inventor’s village, where from agriculture to humanity there was a change.

Clarke was an ordinary person, but he played the role of catalyst in making a change.
When People with similar passion unites, the change will be born.

Share ideas by brainstorming, future in hands, of Ignited Minds.

You need not be a superman to make a change, be a dedicated Clarke with passion by being part of a league.

One thought of sharing, the right direction to safe guard loved ones, with app,

Can encourage raising a safe city, with better safety

Can reduce the burden of soul,

Who is suffering, silently around you!

The one need not be someone.

The one can be you!

The Loop -- (Comedy, Inspiration)

She was the cursed daughter, of a holy soul,
As a child, she doesn't know,
What is good or what is bad,
Out of thought and pep talking.

She dwells in negative thoughts,
When she cursed, the animal flu came and,
Wiped the entire race of bulls.
Her mother couldn't recognize her thoughts.

She was sent to the school, it was a bright day.
Everything was beautiful, and she wished for earthquake,
Within seconds the school was scattered.
Only few of them, survived the disaster.

The rumor, about her, spread in the village,
The people were against her family.
She was under treatment with regular diagnosis,
Things started changing.

But all of sudden, bad things started to repeat,
Her mother out of anger and being helpless.
Decided to kill her,
Both of them, jumped into an abandoned well.
They were killed instantly, because of the stinky water, without any injury.

All these things, were being recorded in a phone,for entertainment.
By the village officials and youngsters.
The girl, though been declared as dead.
She lived in the video.

She wanted the justice,
She became a virus, and uploaded the video, and spread as a viral.

By repeatedly jumping in the well,
Every time, she hopes some one saves her.
By giving clues to the viewers.
But people took her as a joke.
They just commented, and kept sharing.

She got tired of acting on forwarded unread shares,
As no one didn't, watch it till end,
She got frustrated that she couldn't fire anyone to hell, who didn't give her justice.

Nowadays, she couldn't perform repeatedly even thou, shares are less.
Not because of being helpless,
There is no water in the well,
Every time, she breaks her bones, teeth, some time head injury as well and
Hospitalization costs were unbearable.

Yes, even after death, we need to go to hospital!

Let's save our self, by letting her free.
There is nothing called devil, Our thoughts makes the reality.
Save water, have a better world with better leaders.
Use technology to benefit humanity, and not as an entertainment at a cost of a life.

Twins -- (Horror,Mystery, Children)

Every day she sees me. Smiles at me, stares at me, make faces at me. I too, replicate her to sync with her. She is my world; I can’t survive without her .But some time she scolds and at times she pacifies me as precious gift. When she is busy, she doesn’t even spend time for me. In need ours is a complex relation.
How selfish is she!
How long can I be her slave?
The wait is over; it’s time for her to understand me.
I too have a life; I can’t live in this small world.
Let her feel my pain, my loneliness.
As she was speaking to herself.
The girl appeared and while she was looking at her, by smiling, she looked at her, with anger.
The girl was perplexed, before she could realize the situation; she dragged her, towards her
Out of shock, the girl cried. But she didn’t spare her. As she was much powerful than her, the girl gripped the support, and kicked her, as both were fighting.
Her parents came and they rescued the girl with a wound on her face. In spite of asking what happened, the girl said nothing. Then the girl changed, she behaved differently, she was not the same old girl, and she occasionally visited the other as they abused each other.
In the meantime the other girl, screamed at her, she asked her to show mercy. But she was a maniac devil, she didn’t have any emotions for her every night she tortures her.
Why she hated her? When the other one loved her!
Was it the lack of personal space between them? Or the sense of possessiveness?
Whatever it is, even the mirror reflection needs personal space and respect.
Please be aware of what you say, in front of a mirror, there may be an enemy, who may be spying you!
Think before you speak to yourself, as you are the architect of your life!

Attraction

In the fast moving world,
They were made for each other,
He played various roles, and took the responsibility of the
House hold chores.

She comes back from work,
Interacts with him patiently,
He never demanded anything from her,
They had a beautiful family with two kids.

While living with them, she became more like them,
But she couldn’t be replaced unlike the other family members.
When they loose their life,
There were many women and men like her in the market,

They were of same ethnic origin, as that of the country and race,
All they wanted was energy and Wi-Fi.
A family with no commitment and demand, they just
Remained contended with technology upgrade
and electrical energy to survive.

Joint family was reduced to nuclear family, ensure it doesn’t get
Reduced to proton or electron, an unstable building component of life.

While running for future, don’t destroy the present,
Every day we are losing, part of us because people are
Taken for granted. Ensure that it doesn’t gets too late,
That only a replaceable she/he stays with you rather than a real
human companion.

Wealth unaccepted

She was with him,
When he was born,

She was his emotions,
When he was in

Pain, hunger, and during stress.
She was there for him,

Throughout the life,
But when he died,

She hoped someone,
Would accept her but none came.

She remains as an orphan, an unaccepted wealth.

The Ruler

The ruler, differs in each universe,
Butterfly effect interconnects the universes,
Permutation of life forms and treatment drives parallel,
We witnessed humans rule the earth, in our time.

Other companion species, rule the humans in their universe,
How we treat them, leads to a peace for our fellow humans.
Treat everyone equal, as they deserve a share in the universe.

Treat our fellow humans with dignity and respect, along with other life,
The wheel of rulers, rules the universe, even the earth have witnessed.
You need not fear death and hell, when equivalence in your mind.

Petty

Small, pretty ordinary and petty.
She has been through a tough journey,
she got buried, and trashed at times.

The sun gleamed and rain nourished her,
she grew, against all odds and one day she
blossomed into a flower.

It was one another Valentine's day,
but, she was not slaughtered,
she lived, and turned someone’s garden, with her family.

Love is not about plucking; it’s about strengthening the loved ones,
when we, start valuing others, we nourish them,
for making them better,
without suffocating them.

Hands

There are hands for love,
There are hands for rings,
There are hands for bracelet,
There are hands for luggage,

There are hands for driving,
There are hands for wrestling,
But there are less hands
For lending, save them as
Precious water.

Contagious

They are omnipotent,
They are elements, who frame the world.
Without them we don't survive.
We pay our love on auspicious occasions.

They look to stay with and within us,
They hope to live alive amongst us.
We own the white and painted canvas,
Paint them and make them alive,
Rather than hanging them in walls and special homes.

What we need is a giver, and an assimilation of character.
Rather than expecting from them, plant and raise them.
The world will be complete,when they live among us.

Blind Girl

The Blind girl, with thoughts of equality held her small fingers,
With that of her father, less she knows that he is in coma,
Lost his memories, in hands of demons.
People curse the poor girl, for her patience,
Unfortunately no one realized, she was helpless without her,father.

A small initiative of seeding and watering, fresh soil in night,
Could have made a difference.
A repetitive, program to handle fertilizers and protect the crop
Would have made a difference.

Difference was not made till now, at least lets the change happen
In coming days.

Law may fail, at times, she may win in some cases rarely,
Still there are demons waiting outside,
Who are taking advantage of her.

The need is psychology-based thought,
That could slaughter all the demons, within humans
By tying them with the rope of responsibility.
That child deserves to live as much as we and all gender are equal.

Blind girl – law (reactive action)
Father – Humanity (proactive action)

It’s been many decades, still Gandhi ji’s dreams, haven’t come true.
One cannot expect a magic and huge leap towards his dream.

Let’s make a baby step, along with the baby,
By using arts as a way of addressing with repetitive messaging.

Creating and sharing an art on the topic,
In social site once in a while from a novice artist,
Can bring a change if not now at least in future.

Behind the walls

Everyday she gets dressed up,
Sometimes with sandal,
Sometimes with fruits,
Sometimes with kumkum,
Without loosing patience,
She sees her devotee,
Sometimes she gets a chance,
To roam outside, on her chariot.
But mostly she resides
Behind the walls.
Her devotees hail her everyday.

She may be made of stone or
Bronze.
She may be accompanied by flowers
And music.
But who knows,
What's going behind that devoted,
Smiling face.
She has battled a lot,
For her loved ones, her devotees
And even those who curse!
Who knows, if there are tears,
Behind those doors,
When she is alone!

Even a strong devi, can go through
Tough time.
She is our mother, we share our stress to her,
But just a word "hope you are fine!",
From the heart, a reciprocating affection makes her day

Dedicated to all gods behind the wall and stars beyond reach of public.
Who goes through depression at times.

Appraisal

The day arrived, where
One needs to prove their worthiness,
Each one presented their work,
Some were truth, and others were fake,
But the ultimate judgement, remained in hands of superpower .

At least it’s an appraisal, where politics doesn’t exist.
Few of them even, got a concession, after realization
But he chooses an alternate, choice by rejecting the offer.

Where majority choose the heaven,
He chooses to be a god, for his good deeds.

A god, who doesn’t get any devotees,
A god, who is been hated by every life form,
A god, who does feels bad, while he does his job,
A god, where a life ends and begins under his sight.

He choose to be part of underworld,
Hoping that his judgement and timely act, before a sin takes place,
Brings a change to sinners, not after natural death.

A much needed leader, with timely judgement and action.
An attempt to stop the sin, before it gets committed.
A ruler, with principle of prevention than punishing for bad deeds.

If we plant his thoughts, with in us and if we can kill the devil who prompts to commit sin,
We don't need any protection from crime.

A good human makes a good family.
A group of good family, makes a good society and
A group of good society forms a better world.

Let's appraise our character, people around us will also change.
Be it simple, use art as a medium to spread.
Spread the thought to children, young mind is like a fresh soil.
Nurture them with good thought, A cleaner planet will be formed.

End of Days

From space station...
Astronaut 5 - “Witnessing a portal been opened near the Sun. It was more like a black hole (Disturbance ...). It’s pulling the star, but there is no effect on the planets because this portal is eating the star, there has been a shift of the Sun towards the portal. The Sun is gone, it's an emergency something needs to be done.”
“Chaos around the space station …There hasn’t been any clue. The portal opening is closing and it as well got closed. Now we will be in backup power, as we rely a lot on solar.”
Astronaut 4 - “We've been witnessing abduction of stars all around. Looks to be a planned attack by some, it doesn’t look to be natural phenomena...”
Back on Earth,
On the busy day everyone was in fear, no clue on what was going. All were honking and screaming. People stealing and fighting. All the energy resources were in crisis. Chillness followed as a blanket, of fear and as climate. The solar vehicles stopped, in the midway.The train and other vehicles stopped on the road as a safety measures. The day passed by, time was measured with gadgets alone. The plants started dying.
The entire world was at the stake of death. Leaders had a discussion what can be done. As they felt they were facing the end of the galaxy. Time flew; people were dying out of cold. The non-renewable energy and other sources were getting depleted with the inventory. Wild animals came out of the forest. Started hunting on people as they were restless. The food production as well got affected, as there were no ingredients for the product. The transportation was affected, due to the sudden change in the temperature. As the vehicles couldn’t reach the ignition point of the fuel.
Due to the change in the gravitational forces, the planets became maniac and started to change their course from their orbit. The change in force made people sick. As we were heading toward extinction.
The portal opened and the Sun came back to its position. Things slowly came back to normal.
But...
One can have money to buy things. But consume what is required for living, not for showing wealth. We may develop technology to go to Moon, Mars or even to Pluto and may survive. But how many planets we can destroy, with our attitude and money? Think a day without Sun; life comes to an end within few days. Think before you act. As butterfly effect of ecosystem applies to universe not just restricted to Earth!
The portal has given a second chance to realize, use it before it opens again. Nature is powerful than humans, it finds a way out to restore itself. Please restore it, before it puts up its action.

Return of Aladdin

He was a fun loving kid and his parents died in an accident. He lived along with his sister. Life was difficult for him, being a kid with lot of responsibilities. Every day he used to go to the market to sell the clothes which his sister stitched. Slowly he developed some skills by observing others.
He bought some good collections of books and started selling them at various locations, in traffic signals and near the college and schools each day.
But one day, heavy rainfall and flood ruined all of his books and he was back to poverty.
As the fortune of luck turned, one guy saw him in the road and mentioned that he was his uncle.
He shared his memories and photos with his father. The boy was happy to see, his new relation.
He took him to his home. But his uncle was a black magician; he didn’t know he was behind the famous Genie lamp. He decided to move with his uncle for better opportunity. He left the country and joined the adventurous trip.
As they were traveling, the magician changed the course and he took him to a haunted mansion.
He stayed outside and asked him to get the lamp. When the boy asked about it ,magician said these were his father’s belonging and only he has the right. There was a wicked face behind that affectionate mask.
The boy went in; the room was filled with darkness as in his life. He met with lot of things and finally saw the lamp, he blew the dust and the Genie came out. Genie looked some what older now, and he looked tired and without any enthusiasm
He asked, "What can I do for you, My master!" and he coughed.
The boy was afraid, then he relaxed and he inquired about the Genie.
Genie offered him three wishes, and they should be selfish, he said.
The boy was a bit perplexed and said just two wishes are enough for me.
The boy mentioned, “There should be only good thoughts in everyone’s mind.”
Genie replied, “That’s not a selfish wish, I can’t accept it, My lord!”
The boy said, "It’s a selfish wish of mine. I didn’t say this selflessly! If everyone has thought of doing hard work, loving others without expectation etc.,then I, as well, being part of them will win my hurdles."
Genie thought for a while and mentioned it's fine.
The boy asked the second wish-
“You should not be slave to any one; you are a master to yourself.”
Genie was so happy and finally he got freedom from the lamp.
As the boy saw the Genie, his mother woke him up.
The boy then realized that,
"Life and situations shouldn't change someone's path, it's the strong value that needs to change the situations."
If everyone has a good value in them, there won’t be any issue in the world and no one deserves to be slavery,be it Genie or any life form.
By being selfish, only few people can lead a happy life, by being selfless everyone around us can be happy!

Respect my boundary

Let me live my life,
I am on my own, during day and night.
I am one among, who makes my living,
I revolve around her, as she revolves around him,
But we are still bonded by birth.

I too have ups and down,
My looks differ on others attitude towards me.
I am neither horrific nor romantic,
I am just a natural satellite,
Respect my boundary,
When you portray me, in any medium.
