Synopsis:
I knew there was nothing poetic about death.
I knew not that the most horrific battles are fought off the battlefield.
Arjun: The idealist in a non-ideal world; the warrior whose deadliest opponent was his conscience.
History forgot his voice, but misquoted his silence.
My self-esteem originates from me and ends in me.
Why does your honor depend on me? Find your own.
Draupadi: The untamed tigress, the fragrant flame, the unbridled spirit.
Power does not justify sin. Power is not virtue.
Virtue is that which lasts in spite of power.
Krishn : The enigma whose unique ideology churned the battlefield into a quest for Truth.
The Missile …The Trajectory … The Vision.
The trio that makes for the core of The Mahabharata.
This is their saga.
Explore Mahabharata in the voices & through the eyes of Arjun & Draupadi.
Note – Draupadi’s narrative is denoted by *** symbol.
Find ‘other’ famous Arjuns; compare Arjun vis-a-vis Achilles and Alexander; Explore Myths of Mahabharata.
Come, join the exhilarating journey into Arjun’s inner demons, dark desires and forbidden passions.

Yes, I’m so glad I went ahead and realized the dream of publishing my ideas. Whatever happens in terms of sales and reviews is beyond my hands.
Truly, our hearts are forever inundated by contrasting inputs from external sources – not to mention internal conflicts between mind & heart. Lucky are those who can take decisions with foresight. Rest of us get wisdom only on retrospect.

Thank you. I know I shouldn’t blow my own trumpet, but it definitely is an interesting read. Mahabharata always remains relevant and intoxicating. Greatest epic ever written. Salutes to Ved Vyas.

Muchas gracias! I would have been politely humble, but in sync with your latest post I’ll give a discrete pat on my back. For fulfilling my dream, for saying what I wanted to be heard and for saying it in the exact words I wished. As for the book quality, well… the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

The epic has always been a point of discussions amongst scholars and common people alike. I feel that many try to interpret the characters as mystical beings rather than giving them human qualities, but your book gave a raw insight and it was absolutely beautifully worded. Arjun Draupadi occupy a special corner of my heart and the overall visualization of Krishn I get from your writing is awe inspiring too. The three eternal Krishnas are shown in a light that I feel is incredibly relatable. Overall, this has been one of the best reads on the trinity of Mahabharat. Kudos!

Hi Shweta, you just made my day! I’m overwhelmed by your words. Its a special joy when my thoughts resonate and find an echo in someone else’s thoughts. Many thanks for your encouragement. I thrive on it.
Would you mind writing a short review on Goodreads or Amazon/Flipkart? It would be an icing on the cake.
