First Battles of Ram - Tataka Vadh

 Ramayana Series Episode 7 is live online!

If you've been an ardent reader of this blog, but are not aware of the YouTube channel, There's a series that I've been running since the dawn of 2022, titled 'Ramayana - The Epic Series'.

 Whether it is epic or not, it is your choice to judge it. Now for context, juggling between the various activities of life and making such videos, it's a good game altogether, and in the beginning, I really didn't have that 'maturity' enough to produce good videos. And, that's fine.

With time my tastes changed, my thinking evolved, and the series somehow ended up in a long hiatus after the 5th Episode. Later on, my mom even said in between, "You aren't making any videos, even good videos in a while."

From then on, I thought of making something that gives me creative satisfaction too, and not just algorithmic satisfaction and I happily became more inactive.

I focused more on my personal work and this blog and kept the channel on hold.

In March, I resumed back to animation, and made the 6th Episode finally, but it wasn't a sequel, and I even got bored regarding the series so I just branded it rightfully as a 'Special' episode in between, which it was :)

Then I thought, why not make something else? Something that is actually good, something interesting, not typical 'mythological boring' in modern sense. 

7th episode of the series, finally completed on the 7th of April, 2026, but then the computer gave me a setback, "Sorry Shanmukha (my pen name), clean your messy disk.". No problem, cleaning is a part of discipline right? That's why, I just used the most famous shortcuts 'Ctrl+X' and 'Ctrl+V'. 

This time, it's actually animation, it isn't static, but it's moving and that's why I thought, that 'Aha, finally a worthy opponent video.' 

And I actually put a lot of hours in this, while focusing on important things of my life. Sound effects, Background music, the movement of characters, and for instance, I sang for the first time on YouTube in a video (utilising my Carnatic Music practice, thanks to my Guru Prabhavati Devi) , yes me singing at the end of video as a bonus!

And thus, I was creatively satisfied. And I hope that you love such cultural content!

Thank you for tuning in! (because Thanks feels bland)
