Yes its true, the Ramyana retold is finished. With over 20 chapters it was a hard story. I had to go back and make several revisions and changes to make story line direct. but no sequel's will be made, i'm currently writting story's for my Project Starr series...

That sounds like a good idea. It would an alternative to the Ramayana series i'm thinking of doing (which will not be started for quite some time). In the original Ramayana, not all of the demons that were asociated with Ravana were killed, and there are some time lines situations in the original version. Like for instance we get allot of detail about the years were Rama is doing his work, but as for the rest of most of his life we dont get allot of detail. Thats were the #2 comes in. Ofcourse, this would mean a certain amount of story making, but we do get a short description of what Rama did later on in his life. chapter 7 will come soon, by the way...

A few cooments on CH6... Hello everyone, sorry for the delay of CH6 but i'm in the midst of planning a map project with something else, and i'm doing Computer Graphics for SC2. Anyways, before you read CH6, you should read my comments on this chapter first. Chapter 6 was much more easier than 5, why? Because, i only had to bring Rama into the story line. I even added a new Character for later use. This chapter is a turning point in the new Ramayana because the chapters after 6 begin to deal with Rama's quest to find evil and destroy it. The first 6 chapters are used to introduce the main characters in the story. Of course there are more character, but they will slowly be added in. I hope you enjoy Chapter 6 - Rama!!! Chapter Six Rama Rama the name brings images of a heroic man who took on evil and prevailed. In the new Ramayana the idea is the same, but the differences range from different time setting, to an altered plot. Whatever the time, setting, plot, the Rama will continue to be one of the best heroes and roll-models in world history and for the future. **** After lunch break was done at Kosala Inc., people headed back to work. The main plaza that was at the bottom of the Kosala Centers was full of people rushing to go to there offices, meetings, and other destinations. Today was a special day, a special day for the Dasaratha Family. A very special person was coming to work at Kosala Inc., Rama. Now there was a small reception to welcome Rama, if was not a public event, only Dasaratha’s Family, and few other High Kosala officials were aloud to attend. The reception was located on the 240 floor, also known as the “sky floor.” About 49 people attended, there was a large banner saying “Welcome to Kosala Inc.! ”Everyone was anxiously waiting for Rama. It was three PM when there was a knock at the main entrance to the sky floor, Dasaratha opened the door, and Rama was here. Dasaratha welcomed him in and everyone in the room shouted, “Welcome to Kosala Inc. Rama!!” People cheered and clapped as Rama walked into the small sky room, he started to talk to people. Lakshmana was the first to talk to Rama, several other people came close to hear him talk, “So Rama, were do you come from?” Laksmana asked. Rama, gathered his breath and said in one big long sentence, “Well I came from Starr Darcy Inc. Headquarters in the city of El Dorado, I live 140 miles from my place of work in a neighborhood called East Meadows east of El Dorado.” Rama relaxed and took a breath. “Wow, uhh…so why did you come here to Kosala Inc.?” “Well, realizing how stress-full my job was in El Dorado I decided that getting a less fast-paced job and lifestyle was the best choice. And also I wanted to live in India, people told me a lot of good things about the GCI country, so I came over here to try out the Indian dream as well.” “And how are you liking it so far Rama?” “I just got here today, this is my first day in India, I haven’t even purchased a place to live in yet, so I don’t cant really tell.” “You’ll enjoy your stay in India, if you need anything just ask us, me, Dasaratha, or anyone at Kosala Inc.” “Thanks” Rama replied. Rama, Dasaratha’s family, and the other Kosala officials talked to each other for a little while, at six PM, Dasaratha got every ones attention and said, “Everyone, your invited to head over to one of the tables to have something to eat, the chefs from the Ayodhya Parrot are here, and cooked up some amazing food for us.” As soon as Dasaratha was finished talking, waiters started coming out of the kitchen door, with trays of food in there hands. The food was set on several long serving tables in the middle of the room, people in the room flocked over to the tables and lined up for something to eat. Rama, on seeing this approached Dasaratha and said, “I’m going to head to a washroom for a moment.” “Go right a head, I’ll save you a spot beside my wife and I.” Rama smiled and headed towards the washrooms. The washrooms were just located beside the kitchen, to a door left of the kitchen doors. Rama stopped and looked behind himself to see if anyone was behind him or could see him. Seeing that no one was around or looking in his direction, he quickly side stepped and went through the kitchen doors. There was nobody in the kitchen, Rama went through the kitchen and searched for the drinks, he worked quickly knowing the waiters and chefs would come through the door any second to get the drinks. He found them, he looked around himself again, and then reached inside his left pocket and took out a small bottle of unknown liquid. Rama opened it up and put some of the liquid in each cup of drink, and in the punch bowl as well. He then heard voices outside the kitchen door, he quickly ran to the washroom entrance in the kitchen and went through, just then a few waiters and chefs walked through the kitchen doors, one of the waiters caught a glimpse of the closing washroom door, he walked over to the door and opened it, and looked, there was no one there, the waiter closed the door. Rama came walking out of the washroom door cautiously, and headed toward the food tables, Bharata was there, “So much good food Rama, have some.” “Right, hmm, were to start!” “Try some of this, its called chefs surprise, I don’t know what’s in it, but its good.” Bharata left the food serving tables with three plates of food for himself, he was a big eater. Rama started to serve himself, but he got distracted by a table ornament. The ornament was made out of fake parrots standing on poles, Rama talked to himself for a moment “Hmm, these are nice, I wonder what there made out of?” Rama touched one, but the parrot he touched broke off the its pole, “Uhh oh, better put it back.” Rama attempted to put the fake parrot back on its pole, but the table ornament of parrots started to fall over. Rama tried to fix it again, bat he made it worse. Rama looked up and saw Dasaratha walking toward the food serving table, Rama was holding the wrecked table ornament, Dasaratha came closer, “Hello Rama.” Rama hid the ornament behind his back from Dasaratha’s view, “Oh, hi Dasaratha, what are you doing here??” “I’m here to try out some of this great food, and you?” “I, I was looking to see what was being served.” Rama said nervously. Dasaratha smiled, and looked away from Rama and started serving himself to some of the food. Rama thought quickly on were to put the broken table ornament, he lifted up one of the serving table’s cloth and threw it under, Rama walked away from the serving tables with his hands behind his back acting like nothing happened. Rama didn’t know any one at the gathering, so he chose a table from the room and sat down. There was another person at the table, Rama didn't notice. “Hello Rama.” A girl in her early 20’s called Raji was at the table, she was Rama’s age, and was very beautiful. “Hi, what’s your name?” “Raji, Raji Purminder.” “Interesting name, so do you work here? I didn't see you in the room earlier.” “No I don't work here, I was just invited to your welcome reception. I was late arriving here.” “Oh, well my name is Rama, I’m from the SDI headquarters in El Dorado city, I came here to work for a little while, nice to meet you.” A waiter came to Raji’s and Rama’s table, he was serving drinks. “Drinks anyone?” “Sure, Rama and me will have a drink.” Raji requested. “Actually I’ll pass on the drink, I already had one earlier waiter.” Said Rama. The waiter served a drink to Raji, it was purplish in color. Raji, sipped it slowly and said to Rama. Raji started talking to Rama, but he was looking at Raji’s body and not paying attention to her while she was talking. Raji was wearing a bright color sari-like piece of cloth on her body, and had gold and silver jewelry on her head and hands. Her hair was knotted into one enormous braid, which hanged down to her rear. “So what do you think Rama?" “Oh, yes.” Rama said. Rama looked away from Raji for a few moments in embarrassment. Raji knew what Rama was looking at, but she didn't mind. Raji then said, “Were are you staying at tonight Rama?” Rama looked back at Raji, “I don't really know, I was thinking of asking Dasaratha whether I could stay with his family tonight.” “Oh, I hope you enjoy your stay with the Dasaratha family, there really nice.” Rama just smiled and then said, “I’m heading back to the food tables to get something to eat, want to join me?” “No, I’m not hungry.” Rama left the table and went over to food serving tables. He started to serve himself. Lakshmana was also at the table, he to was a big eater like Bharata. “So Rama, know anyone here?” “Not really, I met this women named Raji.” Laksmana looked puzzled, “Raji? I don't recall inviting that person to your welcome reception.” “She said that she was late arriving here.” “Are you sure you have the right name?” “I’m sure, she even said it herself.” “hmm, I don't know who you are talking about, I’ll have to meet this Raji later tonight.” Rama served himself some food, then headed back to the table he was sitting at, “So Raji, I was thinking of asking you if you wanted to come with me when I go to the Dasaratha's house tonight to stay over.” There was no answer, “Raji?” Rama looked to were Raji was sitting before, she wasn’t there anymore. Rama looked around the room from were he was sitting, but he couldn't find Raji in sight. He sat back down and wondered what just happened. Later on in the night Rama walked around in the room talking to other people. It was about eleven PM when the people started to leave, Rama was very tired, he decided to ask Dasaratha whether he could stay with them tonight. Rama walked over to were Dasaratha was sitting, but before Rama could ask, Dasaratha started to talk, “Rama, do you want to stay with us tonight? I have a couple of extra bedroom, and no one to fill them, how about it?” “Oh, sure, I was just about to ask.” As soon as everyone was gone, Rama, Dasaratha and several others of his family members left the Sky-room and the Kosala Centers. They headed over to Dasaratha mansion. Rama was very tired from the long day. But he knew that the days would be longer starting tomorrow, and allot of work was set before him in the days and months in the future… Chapter 7 comming soon!

I'm reading these posts and reply, what are you guy talking about?, all i see is a bunch of words and letters that dont make sense (i'm nit making fun of you guy!) Is there a typo, or a mismatch? Or is it some different kind of language, because what i'm getting is allot of mismatch...

The new Ramayana is not a new book, its a re-telling of the same story, only in future times! Cant go wrong there! To the best of my knowledge...

There will be no real major, unrealistic changes to the first R1 assuming that you have read the first chapters that i wrote. what i am doing with R2 will be telling of what could have happend after R1, (the new Ramayana not the original). If i dont make a sequel, there will be a big cliff hanger, and the new Ramayana will end up with many untold answers. Reader dont like that, they like sequels, or add-ons.

Not literal history, you know, when someone make history by doing something for the first time. That kind of history!

The Ramayana 2 will happen with or without your support, yeah i know, there was no R2. But hey i'll make some history by writing it, as for an people who are willing to see the new Ramayana and its sequels, there are over 7 billion people in the world, and by the time my books come out (some time near 2015-20), there will be new people and new ways to show my story's. There will always be people willing to read anything, incuding the new ramayana. By the way Chapter six is almost complete.

Yeh i know there was no Ramayana 2, but hey, cant there be a sequel, or at least a short book on what Rama's life was after the he conquered evil? Sounds totally right, in fact there will be a sequel. But i still have to right the first one, i shoudnt be talking about a sequel when the first hasnt been written. -starrdarcy

As a writer and designer of the Ramayana series (formaly known as Legends Re-told) i must say that the Ramayana is the best book i have ever attempted to convert to modern day or future. But an idea has come to mind that might be possible. A second Ramayana, but there is a problem, there was no Ramayana 2, and second, what would be the reason for a sequel. Well, in order to have sequel, a few things have to changed in the first Ramayana, but another problem comes up when doing this. Isnt the new Ramayana supposed to be from the original? and if there was a plot change at the end would the story be still as good? These questions are big, and have complex anwers - which unfortunetly i dont have an answer too. On the other question - whats the reason for a second Ramayana? There are several but the most important is - what happens to Rama, lakshmana, and all the other characters after the story ends? In a sequel this question would be solved, but again some changes would have to occur in first Ramayana in order to make a sequel. Changes that i'm not willing to make - yet. As starrdarcy, i have yet to decide whether to make a sequel, of course your input is welcome. I have a few ideas, but as for now, i still have to right the first one. -starrdarcy

Chapter 5 - SD's comments I know, i know, the chapters havent exactly been rolling in very fast lately. But after my accident i couldnt write very well for a little while. Well, now that i'm over the accident (to the best of my knowledge ) and i'm back to writing the Ramayana again. Anyway's, before you read chapter five i have a few comments about this chapter. Chapter five was a tough one, very tough. Why so?, because the chapter 5 was supposed to introduce three key characters - Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna, but there was a problem, the previous chapter made introduction of new characters hard. So any new intro's had to be short and straight foward. Unfortunetly the characters still didnt get a good intro, that's one of the reasons why this chapter was so short. Chapter 5 was also hard because i had to make sure that the book didnt turn into a bussiness report (I didnt want this book to turn into a bussiness like story).A problem that will be fixed in a revised edition after the first version. Anyways enough with my blabbing, on with the story! Chapter Five Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna Dasaratha was happy now that he decided to pick his son or the other two close relatives to take over the family business. And he was more even more excited after learning that a SDI leader was coming to work at his company. On the 25th of January, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna were brought together. Dasaratha and his advisor, Vasistha asked the three to come over for a meeting in Dasaratha’s office. The three knew each other very well, after all they worked for the same company and were from the same family. Today was a special day for them, they never knew it but they could sense this meeting was very important. In Dasaratha’s office, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna. Dasaratha, and Vasistha sat down at a table in the middle of the room, the meeting started. Dasaratha opened the meeting, “Hello everyone. Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna thank you for coming to this meeting on such a short notice. This meeting indeed is very important for me and my company, and of course for you three.” Dasaratha paused for a moment, and then said, “All three of you have been asked to come here for a very special reason. Over the last couple of years I have watched all three of you, and noticed that you were special. Why? you stand out from the rest of the workers, and the other family workers. That’s why I am going to promote all three of you to Chief Financial Officer’s.” The three looked at each other in shock and surprise, “Why did I do this? Because you have all worked very well. And the fact that you are very special to the family.” Laksmana was still shocked, and didn’t really believe it, he said, “You mean that where’re CFO’s, the three of us?” “Yes, all three of you will jointly work together.” Lakshmana chuckled in disbelief, then all three of them laughed and said, “Good joke Dasaratha, you really had us there.” “I’m serious about this Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna, you’re CFO’s as of five seconds ago, now its six, seven…” “You’re serious, were actually CFO’s” “Yes.” It took a couple of minutes for the three to comprehend what just happened. Lakshmana then said, “You mean that we…” “Yes” Upon realizing what they just become, the three started to hug each other and laugh in surprise, and shock, Later that Monday, around lunch time, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna sat together in the main plaza that was at the bottom of the Kosala Centers. It was time for lunch, and some talk. Lakshmana started to talk, “What a day!” “Tell me about it” Shatrughna said sarcastically, Bharata talked, “I have worked for Dasaratha for a number of years, he is usually a predictable man, but today that was not the case.” “I wonder why Dasaratha is doing this? There was no pre-cursor or warning.” Laksmana responded, “You make it seem like Dasaratha is up to know good the way you say it Lakshmana.” Bharata said, “Who are we to complain about this promotion, this is a chance to live our dreams” Shatrughna said, “Your right Shatrughna, we can’t complain.” Bharata responded, “Yeah, your right, but I still wonder what made Dasaratha promote us to CFO’s?” Bharata and Shatrughna just rolled their eyes and continued eating. Chapter Six comming soon!

sorry but i forgot to log in before posting! that was me talking!

Hello everyone, i'm back. I had a little accident, so it kind of mested things up here at starr studios (my sort-of make balieve company ) Anyways, i said earlier that i would provide pictures for my new version of the Ramayana, well here they are! I will show a link to the picture allong with a short discription. Enjoy! Picture of Ayodhya city houses... Things have changed in India! There is no poverty, and the country is one of the wealthiest confederacies in the world. This picture shows a typical planed community. Note that the style of the buildings, and the kosala centers in the background. http://www.cyburbia.org/gallery/data/500/1378Ayodhya.jpg?3930 Parvati car, the EnVille... In the future, in Dasaratha's time, Parvati's were a popular vehicle in india. The vehicle maker use to be a government owned company, but it soon was turned into a civilian brand. Parvati's eventually became a symbol of the Indian lifestyle. This picture is the Parvati EnVille. http://www.cyburbia.org/gallery/data/500/1378parvati_side.jpg?5218 Ayodhya city skyline... The city skyline is a example of corporate power in Ayodhya, the tallest buildings (Kosala Centers) stand at 220 floors. Other towers include, the LPQ, SharnCity BANK, and several others, stand beside the tallest. http://www.cyburbia.org/gallery/data/500/1378kosala_towers.gif?5946 I will post more pictures later on. Feel free to ask questions, or comment. Thanks.
