Topic Brainstorm

1. Holidays and Festivals

I have found this topic of various kinds of Indian holidays and festivals to be very interesting. I personally like all kinds of holidays and festivals, and the Indian ones obviously seem a bit exotic yet very fun. India is a very big country (hence it's called subcontinent), and I like the fact that festivals and holidays vary greatly throughout the subcontinent. So holidays and festivals are one of the topics that I can think about making stories.



2. Food

We as humans all eat. I'm certainly no exception. I love to eat food. Nevertheless, one authentic cuisine that I haven't tried is Indian cuisine. I know the country is big and diverse, so the recipes and ingredients differ from region to region. I certainly can write with passion and genuine interest about different types of authentic Indian cuisine.


3. Music

I'm almost always listening to music and sounds throughout the day. I have several earphones and headphones for different types of music. Yet, I haven't listened to Indian music yet. I would certainly want to listen and learn about different genres of Indian music and write about it for the project. I think it's fun to learn about Indian music and create a story on the topic at the same time.


4. Yoga


I often have muscle aches and pains. So one of the hobbies that I do in spare time includes exercising yoga. I would type 'yoga' on YouTube search bars and come up with several different yoga videos. Nevertheless, I still don't have much information or knowledge about yoga (I've been just physically doing it). So I thought learning about yoga and writing an interesting story about yoga would be a good topic of choice.

Week 10 Review

**While I was doing Part 2, check-up, I've found that I didn't declare for one Reading Notes that I did back in Week 5. So, I declared it for Extra Reading for Week 10 instead. When Your Brain Doesn't Sleep (Graphic) I've found this graphic to be relevant to my current state. It's also interesting to learn about the science of brain and sleep. Brain perhaps is the most important organ in our body, and it does many important jobs to make us stay afloat. I've also found several brain malfunctioning experiences I've had due to sleeping less. Lost memories, anger, impaired wit, head in the clouds, slurred speech, and risky decisions all sound very relevant to my personal experiences of getting inadequate sleep. It's so fascinating to learn about the interesting correlation. The graphic is obviously very effective at fulfilling its purpose of informing people about the danger of sleep deprivation. Tapasya (Video) It's truly interesting to ...

Assignments

As I was reading through the various class assignments, two distinctly different thoughts came into my mind. I've had both positive and negative thoughts, yet positive thought is much bigger than negative one. One thought is that there are many, several weekly readings and assignments, and they can get quite overwhelming at some point during the semester (e.g. Midterm). The other thought is that all those readings and assignments are.. in fact.. FUN!! I know for sure, no matter how much reading and assignments there are, I will be thoroughly enjoying them. I love reading interesting fairy tales, myths, and legends. This class is all about that. In addition, I love the fact that the purpose of the assignments are to write authentically and creatively.  I'm intrigued by writing a storybook for class project. I've never written a storybook before, but I'm sure I will be having so much fun doing it.   Extra credit assignments are just as intere...
