Yes, Diary, you read that right! He did not even offer me comfort or more of an explanation. I am sorry, my dear, but I cannot marry you."Īnd with those words that I knew would forever change my life, Krishna just left me. They took me to a priest, and he showed me the will of Dharma. "Did your parents not give you permission?" Sure enough, when Krishna came near, I could see the tears in his eyes. His face was drawn, his countenance sad, and I knew at once in my bones that what I had secretly feared had come to pass. However, the day soon started becoming the worst one ever when I spotted my love walking towards me. After all, what better way to spend time daydreaming of one's future than to spend it among nature?

I waited for the news of Krishna's actions by the river that runs on the edge of Vrindaven. It seems like my love for Krishna grows with each day, and every time I see him my heart swells. Oh, diary, how I had waited for this day. I woke up to sunshine and birds singing, smiling because I knew today was the day Krishna would ask permission to marry me. Today is officially the worst day of my life. She sang both while Hanuman burned Lanka, and while Rama defeated Ravana.įor a story based on this reading, I think I would go off from the idea of Sita securing her own escape from Lanka. I didn't like how the fact that Sita was singing the music meant that while she was just off singing, all of the action in the story happened without her. That also leads into one thing I didn't like about this film so far. I call bull on that! I hate how Sita is shown as so powerless during the Ramayana, and I think Sita securing her own escape would have been an excellent way to showcase her as a powerful female character. That is such an interesting idea! One of them argued that maybe she was trying to "glorify Rama" but letting him save her. The thing that stood out to me the most, however, was about 30 minutes into the movie, when the narrators argue about why Sita didn't escape Lanka with Hanuman when her first found her. I also thought it was interesting how Nina Paley's story was interwoven with the story of Rama and Sita. One thing I found very interesting, and that I didn't know before, was that Ravana's kingdom of Lanka is actually Sri Lanka! I thought that was very cool. This is definitely the most unique reading I have done so far for this semester (ignoring the part where it's actually a movie)! While I definitely can't say I would watch this on my own, I still thought it was a very unique retelling of the Ramayana.
