- I could write a story where a very pretty girl somehow persuades Bhisma to marry her and have children. Maybe she has some kind of magical powers? Or maybe even somehow his stepmother convinces him to do so.
- While the women in these tales aren't very independent I love that the Pandu brothers were always so obedient to their mother, Koonti.
- Maybe a good storyline would be one where Koonti kind of tutors Draupadi and others on how to be independent and strong?
- It's crazy Uttara was married so young.
- I loved reading about how Koonti prayed and faught for her sons during the war of Indra. Maybe I could do a story over Koonti and Gandhari getting to the altar at the same time? What is Mahadev chose Gandhari's flowers instead of Koonti's?
- A story through the eyes of Uttara when her husband volunteered to go fight would be a good story!
Sati
- I had no idea Mahadeva was poor!
- It'd be interesting to do a story from Sati's father's eyes to show how she taught him that money isn't everything.
- I wonder how good this story would be if Sati didn't die but her father did?
- Instead of living in a cave as a hermit what if Siva was killed during his rampage on the earth?
- Super sad story..
Bibliography: I found the story of Uttara in Nine Ideal Indian Women and also the story of Sati.
