〃Mahabharata Time Travel〃
Jyothi wasn't expecting to meet a pair of ancient eyes, and she certainly didn't expect the initial sexual tension between them to blossom into love, especially when she is engaged to Vignesh.

"Jyothi, you're fine with cooking for us, right?" Kunthi ma has final taken notice of me.
"Yes, I don't have any complaints." I responded even though I wasn't prepared for what was coming.
I'm not sure why people are so eager to be poisoned by my hands.
"But, ma, the servants have already prepared meals for everyone. Now, if we have Jyothi cook for us as well, the other dishes will go to waste." A maidservant chimed in.
"Then she should make us something sweet. I've developed a serious sweet tooth." She said calmly, but it had a sense of finality to it.
"Okay, ma. I'll do whatever you want." with a slight bow, I said. As I finally realised these people have no intention of letting me go.
"Chandra will lend a hand you with the cooking," she says.
I leave the room of ladies along with the maidservant who was appointed to me, towing behind me.
"Where is the kitchen?" I politely questioned her.
"Huhg, I'll show you if you follow me." she responded to my question with a irritated bitch voice.
"So I'm thinking about making carrot halwa. So I'll be needing 10Kg carrot, ½liter ghee, 1Kg sugar, a big vessels and etc." I recall everything I can remember from the last time I made a carrot halwa, which was two years back.
"See I can't give you 10kg carrot I'll only give 5kg, also ½ liter ghee is too much you just manage without ghee, and I'll give only ½kg sugar." I was left it shock, this maid was acting like her this palace belongs to her.
"I just asked out of curiosity you didn't have to be so mean" I objected, but she completely ignored me and continued walking.
We walk in complete silence, but there is a sense of tension in the silence, to the ground floor, where the kitchen is placed.
We come to a complete stop in front of a large room. To cook, people are assigned to different stoves. I was astounded to see so many men and women cooking together in such a large hall.
"This is where you'll have to cook." She shouts into the air, her gaze fixed on the ground.
"All right, and what about the ingredients?" I inquired, trying not to loose my cool. "Just tell me what you want, and I'll get it for you." she responded.
"As I'm considering making carrot halwa. I'll need 10kg carrot halwa, 12 liter ghee and 3kg sugar, a large vessel and so on." I recall everything j remember from the last time I made carrot halwa, which was two years ago, comes flooding back to me.
"What!" She bellowed, as if I requested her husband, "I can't give you 10kg of carrot to cook for 60 to 80 people. I can only offer half of what you requested." she added fanning herself.
