Topic 1: Indian take on Percy Jackson
For this topic, I would create an almost Percy Jackson world but for Indian mythology. The project could follow students who were related to Indian gods and goddesses similar to the Greek demigods and all of them having their own unique powers. There could also be a similar camp where the demigods meet up to train and fight evil demons and other villains. I think it would be interesting to profile different demigods or follow one demigod as he or she goes on a quest. Additionally, there could be more emphasis on female goddesses and figures as their representation seems to be more limited. My stories could be a retelling of traditional Indian epics or perhaps I could create my own. I feel there is so much freedom with this project idea.

Topic 2: Indian Mythology Common App
For this topic, I would follow with my project I did in Mythology and Folklore, but instead of having, Greek common application it would be an Indian common application. Here, I could find young gods or goddesses who are applying to college and write "applications" that reflect their stories and traits. I found the project to stimulating for the mythology and folklore class, and I see its being feasible for Indian epics as well. I could even do Indian heroes, such as Arjuna, Kacha, and Chokha Mela, and not limit it to Hindu deities. Overall, I see the topic as being very open to my imagination.

Topic 3: Animals are very prominent in Hindu mythology and stories, and I feel this is a topic that I could explore and write about extensively for a project. Dieties such as Hanuman, Ganesha, and other animal figures such as Jambavan would be fun to write about as well as retell stories. While the stories may not be connected and not follow one character, this project would allow me to focus on multiple figures and learn more about Hindu mythology.

Topic 4: Trip around India
I found this potential project idea by looking at past Indian epic projects and was immediately interested in what if offered. Having been to India multiple times, I have some experience with what the country offers and its way of life. However, I have not really had the opportunity to explore all parts of India as I often just stay with my family. This would be an exciting project to learn about the country as well as important and interesting landmarks. Perhaps the project could be a way to setup my next trip to India!
