I can't believe like after HOW many years of everyone just looking and snooping and no real tangible evidence of this even existing if you freaking googled it or something, aarni made raaka real
I so so hope this means a shop is opening where we can buy some designs and stuff and it's not just a by-kuumaa-for-kuumaa clothing line anymore 😭
Women in Mahabharata - Raaka (Ramopakhyana)
Brahma had a son called Pulastya, who had a son named Vaishravana. Once Vaishravana goes over Pulastya's head to Brahma, so Pulastya kills himself only to be reborn as Vishrava.
In this life, Kubera is born as the son of Vishrava and is the lord of the rakshasas. Vaishravana becomes the ruler of Lanka.
Knowing that Vishrava-Pulastya is angry, Vaishravana sends three rakshasi women to pacify Vishrava. These women are Pushpotkata, Raaka and Malini.
Raaka's children are Khara and Shoorpanakha.
Do you have the coven book?
Yes! I just read the majority of it today. I enjoyed it overall, and the ending felt reasonable if not a little deus ex machina-reliant. Still a nice adventurous romp though.
Also, I happened to be reminded of this song—yes, it's literally about witches vs. the greed of men and needing a scapegoat to blame climate change on.
A few observations:
Clear environmentalism/conservationist, anti-war, and anti-imperialism themes.
The entire "Face Killer" concept reminded me of Luoto Bahkti from Fall, but the concept wasn't all recycled, so it was fine.
The sludge monsters caused me to think of modern oil rigs.
I suspect Soman took inspiration from Indian religion(s)/mythos? The conservation of the earth's lifeblood and the general idea of reincarnation seemed like it paralleled something real-world, like reaching enLIGHTenment or joining a "world soul" or nature—if there is a proper term for that I'm not sure what it is. Someone correct me if you know. (I've found "anima mundi," which seems like a Western variant of the same thing/cycle so far.)
I tried to look up "va na veda," but I'm not sure if there is an exact translation for it from a real-world language and do not trust the AI overview.
I wonder if Jonah's name is an allusion to The Giver, a classic, award-winning novel by Lois Lowry set in a false-utopian world where all weather conditions are moderate and "perfect," due to a lot of chemical/otherwise artificial, man-made influence. The main character of that book, Jonas, is one of the few people who has the gift of "seeing beyond," essentially, seeing what's wrong or lacking with his civilization's state of living and emotions/humanity.

I am currently coping with the realization that I’ve completely procrastinated on reading submissions for the lit mag I edit at my university. The submission period closes this coming Friday and we have votes which mean I have to work through over 100 written pieces this week! In addition to reading a particularly long manuscript for my internship and revising my own piece for an award, I was nominated for! I’ve been telling people that next week won’t be as hectic as last week but now it looks like I lied to them and myself, oops.
Today was a chill day spent indoors, except for this morning when I accompanied my best friend to the grocery store. We managed to get home before the rain. I had the rest of the spicy seitan wrap that I got from the food co-op yesterday, and I bought some more snap pea crisps to last until Tuesday when Anthony comes back :) I’ve been doing a lot of reading, I wrote a few response papers, and totally avoided reading my East Asian Civilization textbook.
Now I’m working my way through this manuscript, sad that I’m missing my campus’ production of the Vagina Monologues that one of my friends worked as the producer for. At least I have chocolate and hot tea to get me through the night!
P.S. So, I’m really close to having 2k followers, and I kind of want to do something to celebrate it but I’m not sure what to do. I’ve never done a giveaway before and I’ve never done something like blog rates but those are the two things I know of that people do. If you have any ideas/advice please let me know! This is a significant milestone for me :’)
अल्लू अर्जुन और एटली के राका के शीर्षक में पुष्पा कनेक्शन है; निर्माताओं का खुलासा | अनन्य
निर्देशक एटली के साथ उनकी आगामी फिल्म में अल्लू अर्जुन का पहला लुक 8 अप्रैल को अभिनेता के जन्मदिन पर सामने आया था। इंटरनेट पर उनका वह लुक पर्याप्त नहीं मिल सका जिसमें वह गंजे, काजलयुक्त आंखों वाले, कैमरे की ओर घूरते हुए और जानवरों के पंजों के साथ नजर आ रहे थे। कई लोगों को आश्चर्य हुआ कि फिल्म का नाम राका क्यों है और अगर यह फिल्म में अर्जुन के किरदार का नाम है, तो इसका क्या मतलब है। अब, निर्माताओं…
