#30 historical fiction 28/4/18 An orphan princess. An exiled queen. A demeaned wife. An abducted victim. A mother burnt to ashes. Her story has been famous for ages.Story of the heroine of the oldest epic Ramayan. Sita. Maithili.Janaki. The story of a woman elevated to the highest ranks of the ideal feminine. A sati. But at the cost of what? This story is based on Ramayana. But the characters r mere humans with human tendencies. Pl. don't argue these are Gods n their curses will befall me n my story☺ _____________ BACKGROUND **************** king janak of mithila was sita's father. Some accounts say sita as a daughter born to the king out of his union with the land. Some say sita as king Janak's adopted daughter found when he was ploughing. Its not difficult to read between the lines n understand exactly what he was ploughing into when he had sita. sowing wild oats and reaping the harvest.😊why would a king suddenly till land n find a child? IMO the child would have died while the ploughing happened😨 Sita is referred to as daughter of earth. Vasudha is NOT a character in ramayana. She's a tribal woman created outta my imagination.history always glosses over nasty aspects of kings.a daughter born out of a kings union with the land or earth goddess sounds metaphorical n less weird when u think of it as his child born outta wedlock with a tribal woman.Someone who wasn't a queen n whose name meant earth. Vasudha means earth.she belongs to a lower caste.sita's birth mother. This story is gonna be entirely human. No godliness or miracles exist here...which are extremely hard to rationally believe. Rama was a great king. Worshipped as a god. But he too was human after all. characters here r compelled by human motives. Some characters maybe imaginary just to fill gaps in storytelling. This story does not wish to hurt religious sentiments. It only tells the story of a woman. Where she came from..who she knew..what happened to her. Sita. JANAKI.

#13th in Wattpad 'What's Hot' section July 20, 2016 Author's Note: My poetry comes from a place in my heart which is touched by love. A touch that helped me go to places untouched by me. 'In a nutshell', with a touch of love, everyone becomes a poet. My poems will always have a desire to bring a change in society and within us. A change, we need. A change, we deserve. There will always be a sense of wrong in it but that does not make me a pessimist poet. As a poet, I am mysteriously silent to direct happiness but many of my poems are real and has real endings. 'In a nutshell' has everything from poems reflecting society, to motivational and love poems. I hope you enjoy reading my work. Do vote and post comments. I am a new writer and your feedback will infuse the positivity and encourage me to write more and better myself. Thank you and keep writing.

What would you do if your body and your kingdom were stolen? [A FEATURED STORY] Uther is a young prince who's reluctantly thrust into having to defend his throne against his usurping uncle and all-around powerful wizard, who uses his powers to steal the one thing Uther thought he couldn't take: his own body. After becoming the villain of the realm in an instant, Uther struggles to find anyone that will believe his story. His uncle's unsavory reputation lands him with a family of dark fae, a goblin, and a troll--not the usual team of knightly heroes. Together, this odd team will untangle a web of curses, escape bounty hunters, and confront fae. If Uther can't figure out how to reverse his uncle's curse, he'll be trapped in a body that's not his own--doomed to be a villain--for the rest of his life.
