These are some of the questions that my readers have asked me, and I've tried to answer them. The most frequently asked question is:
1. Why do you keep changing the story again and again?
Answer: This was the most asked question to me, and I know, I know—you probably hate me for that! But I'll be bluntly honest. I've written most parts of the story, and along the way, I realized that the direction I initially planned wasn't working out. The first few times, I noticed issues that needed fixing:
At one point, I felt that Tvarita was becoming too negative and wasn't consistent with the idea of a good person. Then, as I continued writing, I realized some parts were too boring; they lacked that element of surprise, the kind that makes your heart skip a beat. If I was getting bored writing it, I knew readers would feel the same. The third time, I noticed the story wasn't consistent with the timeline, and it was becoming very monotonous. I didn't want that for the story.
But this time, I've worked hard to address those issues. I understand that some people have accused me of copying others or called me names, but I promise that every change I've made is to create the best version of this story for you all.
2 : What inspired you to write this story?
Answer: My inspiration came from a deep interest in exploring the complexities of ancient epics, particularly the Mahabharata. I wanted to delve into the untold stories and perspectives of lesser-known characters, such as Karna the Pandavas and the Kauravas and many other characters , and bring their emotions, struggles, and inner conflicts to the forefront. Through this narrative, I aim to highlight themes of destiny, loyalty, love, and the human condition.
3. How did you develop the characters, especially Tvarita ?
Answer: Developing Tvarita wasn't very difficult for me because I relate to her in many ways. She is both tenacious and soft, has struggled, and is full of flaws that many humans might have. But despite that, she learns to fight and make things happen. Tvarita is a character who embodies strength, grace, and vulnerability, I focused on her internal struggles and how her relationships with others shape her actions and decisions.
4. Question: What challenges did you face while writing the novel?
Answer: One of the biggest challenges was staying true to the essence of the original epic while introducing new elements and perspectives. Balancing the rich historical and cultural context with the fictionalized aspects of the story required careful consideration. Another challenge was ensuring that the characters' emotions and experiences felt authentic and relatable, even in a mythological setting.
5. Question: Why did you choose to explore the relationship between Karna and Tvarita?
Answer: The relationship between Karna and Tvarita is one of deep emotional complexity. Both characters are bound by their sense of duty, yet they find themselves drawn to each other in ways that challenge their beliefs and loyalties. I wanted to explore how love, friendship, and fate intertwine in their lives, and how their bond influences their decisions in the larger narrative.
Some people have assumed a romantic relationship between them, and I'm really sorry, but I can't reveal that right now. It may be them or someone else, but that's a surprise I want to keep for later.
However, I will share this: while many search for love, friendship is also one of the most beautiful kinds of relationships one can have. It's a connection that can be just as deep and meaningful, shaping the course of our lives in profound ways.
6. Question: How do you handle the balance between historical accuracy and creative freedom?
Answer: While I strive to maintain the historical and cultural integrity of the setting, I also allow myself creative freedom to explore the characters' inner worlds and the "what ifs" of the story. I believe that blending these elements can create a richer, more immersive experience for readers, allowing them to connect with the characters on a deeper level.
7. Question: What message do you hope readers take away from the book?
Answer: I hope readers come away with a deeper understanding of the complexities of human nature, the consequences of our choices, and the enduring power of love and loyalty. Through the characters' journeys, I want to convey that even in the face of destiny, we all have the power to shape our paths and find meaning in our lives.
8.Question: Will there be a sequel or a continuation of this story?
Answer: I'm open to the idea of a sequel, especially if readers are eager to explore more of the characters' stories and the world I've created. There are certainly many threads left to unravel, and I would love to continue exploring these themes and characters in future works.
9. Will I Update the story Everyday ?
Answer: I will provide updates every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday moving forward. I'm committed to keeping you informed and ensuring that you receive regular updates on the progress of the story. You can count on these days for the latest news and developments!
That's all the questions for today. If any new questions arise, I'll be sure to address them in the upcoming chapters.
I want to acknowledge that I am making changes to the plot once again due to recent feedback and accusations. I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart for any confusion or disappointment this may have caused.
Thank you all so much for your thoughtful questions and continued support. Your engagement means the world to me. I hope you enjoy reading the story as much as I've enjoyed writing it. Stay tuned for more updates, and happy reading!
