"The past may burn to ashes, but a promise can rise again." When Karna lay dying on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, his final wish was not for glory or redemption-but that his life's story, soaked in pain and pride, be sent as a dream to other Karnas across the universe. A chance for someone to live differently... to break the chain of mistakes. In another world, a young Vasusen-raised by his loving mother Radha and his father Adhirath, the charioteer of Hastinapur-wakes from that dream, shaken and forever changed. He remembers a life of greatness and tragedy... but also of promises broken and paths lost. Guided by those memories, Vasusen walks a new path-not for fame, not for revenge-but to earn the pride of the one who raised him, and to become the warrior his soul was meant to be. This is a tale of love, dharma, and defiance-a story where fate is not final, and even ashes can give birth to fire.

From Satyuga to Tretayuga, I roamed with hunger and boredom and irritation filled inside my veins. Surviving countless of times and aiding those in perils. I fought great demons, monsters and countless of other beings. I aided the avatars of Great Vishnu in their quest and yet my name was erased and spoken with scorn all because of the curses bestowed upon me, all because of my charitable nature. Yet now comes the time of Dwapar when powers of mine have greatly been reduced for the seals affecting my core has greatened with each curse taking its toll but yet even after swearing to never go into the path of any other warriors. Why does this young demi-god, provoke yet another streak of charity inside my heart for his claims of finding a friend, reminds of my young self. Very well, Danveer Vasusen or Karna I will aid you and advice you as Krishna does to Arjuna This I make vow off. Disclaimer: Plot has been greatly changed; characters may not act similar for I am nothing compared to great Ved Vyasa whose tales were written by Ganpati Bappa. Enjoy.

Summary: Karna-Parshuram interactions changing Karna and the course of the epic. (Outburst chapter is: A different ending to the Dyut Sabha. Karna saves Draupadi and Kunti reveals the truth.) (Suppose) Karna spends at least a decade under the tutelage of Bhagvan Parshurama, not only for weaponry but also for his daily teachings about righteousness. Unlike the actual Mahabharat, where Karna learns almost everything about weaponry from Drona and his only motive to go to Parshurama was to get the Brahmastra to use against Arjun, all modern adaptations want to make Drona reject Karna, make him Parshurama's (favourite) student and still want him to call Draupadi a "whore" at the Dyut Sabha - and this is what I refuse to accept. Any person, especially a child, who spends this long in the presence of, let alone learning from, an avatar of Vishnu himself, a student of Mahadev, cannot turn out to be evil. Update: returning back to this story because I have more free time now, hopefully aiming for something like biweekly updates.

"If only I had k...known" Duryodhan mumbled, lying in a pool of blood. There was no one else around, except for Vasudev Krishn. Duryodhan's eyes spoke volumes. His lips quivered as his thighs were broken. "If only I had known," he thought again, his life flashing before his own eyes. Vasudev Krishn looked on, "I'm sorry Duryodhan, I tried" he looked down, His eyes filled with tears. Duryodhan forwarded his hands, gently touched his feet and looked up , unable to speak anymore, only his eyes looked into His. The words of his heart began to reach Krishna's ears. As Duryodhan neared his death, he preferred not to close his eyes, rather keep it open, to give a final adieu to the protector of worlds. NOTE : THIS IS PURELY IMAGINARY.

Most of the things we know about the personal lives of the characters of Mahabharat is about the Pandavas. One can't help but wonder at what might have been going on at the other side. Glimpses of life on the Kaurava side of from Bhanumati's POV. Updates may be sporadic.
