Topic Brainstorm

I have chosen Creation Stories as one of my potential story topics.  This was interesting to me because every belief system seems to have its own creation story.  Some are very similar and some are very different.  I have no prior knowledge of any popular creation stories in India.  I am very curious to see what I can find and learn about these stories.  I plan on just coming up with creative twists on the stories that have already been produced.  Here is a link to a story that I thought looked promising: Samudra-manthan.

It is also likely that I have Love stories as my main topic.  I really am a sucker for a good love story so I will probably enjoy recreating them! I do not have any prior knowledge on any Indian love stories.  I would plan on making these stories happy, rather than sad and twisted.  A good start would be this link: Kamadeva.

My third possibility is having The Gods/Devas as my topic. I have always been interested in other culture's worship habits.  America is primarily monotheistic so it is always interesting to read about places where it is very different.  Again, I will probably just try to come up with a creative way to retell these stories.  I imagine I would try to incorporate several gods, rather than just focusing in on one.  Here is a good link that I would probably start with: Deva (Hinduism).

Lastly, one of my topics could be on Nagas.
I have never heard of this before.  To be honest, I chose this one at random.  But, I am happy I did because it seems rather interesting and different from anything else I have read before.  I also feel like I could write a wide range of stories on this topic.  I look forward to doing more research but here is a good link to start with: Naga.
