Reading Notes: Ramayana Part C

One story that interested me was about Hannuman, how was he was born to be one of the most powerful creature. I remember some vague details about his birth, when I first watched Ramayana. As I read the story, I understood it completely. The story says, he got his form due to Hanuman going towards the sun to eat it because he was really hungry. He gained so many boon from the gods form the heaven, making him really strong and powerful. I could change the reason behind why hanuman decided to eat sun, make it more dramatic by making it a challenge for him. As he eats the sun, he is visited by other gods, as they are all astonished. I was also thinking about adding a twist to it, like create one of those ninja turtle movie scene, where they are faced with a villain.

Another story that I could possibly use to retell is Hanuman getting captured by Indrajit. Indrajit figured out how powerful hanuman was and used his brain to capture him without using any ordinary weapons. He captures him by the Brahma's shaft, which was one of the strongest weapon. Therefore, hanuman could not be free and ended up being captured. I could talk about few battles they go through before hanuman is captured. How Indrajit got hurt and got really angry so he decided to call for help from his kingdom, who gave him advise about hanuman's weaknesses. He then used the shaft acquired by his father through hard work to get him. He then ends up taking him to Ravana, where he asks him to kill him but somehow hanuman escapes it.
