Epics of India - Vinay Kalvacherla

The jungle is a hard place to live. The bugs are after the grass, the insects after the bugs, the lizards after the insects, the birds after the lizards, the mongooses after the lizards, the bobcats after the mongooses...it's a competitive world, and the cost of losing is death. At every moment in time, everything - and I mean everything - is about survival. One slow step under the eyes of a leopard or tiger and you're dead. The lions lived in their own den on one side of the jungle, the tigers on another side, and the monkeys high up in the trees. Everyone lived segregated, and creatures rarely interacted with animals outside their species. You never know who's the predator and who's the prey in any situation. Even at common-ground water holes, no one went for a drink haphazardly or alone. I like to think of it as a war. A tense, prolonged war that began at the inception of the universe and which will never have an ending. It's the war of life. This war had...

Telling the story of how Brahma decided to mess with Krishna from the point of Brahma would be interesting  Perhaps some kind of interesting drama between Brahma and Vishnu can be cooked up in the story  Describing Krishna's sadness through his point of view at him learning that he was the savior of Dharma would be interesting  Could delve into the inner workings of Vishnu here The sadness is vividly apparent when Krishna leaves the Yadavas; Akrur sees Vishnu in his true form  Krishna healing Trivakra is very interesting...nice story to tell from here. Could even add in Harry Potter elements  Krishna brings about the end of Kamsa  Krishna moved Mathura to Dwaraka to avoid attack - thinking of alternates here would be interesting  An image depicting Krishna in his kingdom of Dwaraka.  Source.

Crafting the story to make it seem as if Kamsa ruled harshly because Krishna had planned for it to be that way - the deaths of the first six of Devaki's children would have been predestined  A story about the celebrations as people realized that Vishnu was coming to Earth (as Krishna) would be interesting to explore  Comparing Vasudeva's experience with the Yamuna to Jesus's experience walking on water would be very interesting  An interesting take on the interactions of the Goddess and Vishnu: talk about Maya's interactions with Kamsa The perspective of Putana would be interesting - perhaps writing a story making it seem like a predestined fate (like was expressed earlier in the idea about Kamsa) would be worthwhile  The universe is seen in Krishna's mouth - would be cool to incorporate the Goddess into the power of Krishna here The love between Radha and Krishna could be compared to that of Rama and Sita - perhaps written from the view that Krishna knew ab...
