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.

Introduction to Peter the Real Estate Agent

Hi guys! I'm Peter, and I'm an OU student. I'm a junior, and I'm majoring in Communication. I believe I'm a very honest person, so I'm going to tell you why I chose to major in Communication. I honestly chose to do this major because I thought Communication would be a relative easy major. Nevertheless, it turns out that it is not! Some professors are tough and demanding, and there are lots of heavy reading, intensive writing, and several exams that I need to complete to earn an OU Communication degree. I still think Communication is a pretty cool major because I get to learn about many interesting effective communication theories. Because my major belongs to the College of Arts and Sciences, it has heavier emphasis on theory and research more than practice and application. Honestly, I don't really remember a "cool class" that I took last semester (I don't think I had any). Nonetheless, these classes, Myth Folklore and Indian Epics, ar...

Week 6 Story: Uparichara the King of Chedi (PDE Mahabharata, Part A)

In the old ancient India, there was a mischievous, popular king named Uparichara. Uparichara was born into a life of enormous wealth and privileges: he didn't have siblings and was destined to become the king of Chedi. Uparichara didn't care about his future because he was destined to the crown, so he lived a life of sex, binge drinking, smoking medicinal drugs for recreation, and all sorts of indulgence until the age of 33. Another reason why he was so much into lust and indulgence was because of stress of being an important public figure. As a prince, he was expected to appear moral and exemplary to his people. Uparichara desperately wanted to become the king, but his father lived a long life: Uparichara's 88-year-old father who was his predecessor didn't want to turn over the crown to his son because he believed he failed his son's upbringing and moral character education.  One night in his dream, Uparichara saw frowned-faced gods and angels. Uparichara ask...
