Shiva's Fire Update 2

As I continue the story, it seems that I'm starting to grasp the story more and more. The book is starting to make more sense to me. The book seems to be focusing more on the plot than the rest of the elements, now that the story is actually developing. In my first update, I talked about how I was able to relate to the book because of my passion for the arts. I can relate to Pavarti again because she is faced with a decision based on taking up her life on doing the arts. This summer, I was faced the decision to do two shows at my local theater, which meant taking up four days each week during the summer. For Pavarti, the theater would be the gurukulam. And while I ran shows at the theater, Pavarti would dance at the gurukulam. I can also relate because Pavarti always admired dancers when she was younger. When I was younger, I looked up to actors and musicians because they always inspired me. So far, I'm beginning to like the book a little bit more just because of these connections.

This is a gurukulam going on, where the guru is mentoring her children.
