In this story, I'm trying to write the events of Mahabharat from the perspective of Arjuna, the protagonist of the epic Mahabharat. This is a purely fictional story from the view point of Arjuna.

Night before the exile...

This is a series about the great war, "Kurukshetra war" of the Epic, Mahabharata. It consists of a description of the 18 days of the war. It is the story of Dharma Yuddha to establish Righteousness under the direction of Supreme God- Sri Krishna NOTE: The source of the story is from BORI, KMG, and various Puranas

"Dharme cha arthe cha kaame cha mokshe cha bharatarshabha. Yadhihasti tadanyatra yannehasti na tadkvachit".. Everything that is there about Dharma (righteous/ just), Artha (wealth/ economics), kaama (lust/ desires) and moksha (salvation/ liberation) everything is there in the Bharatha text. You can find it in other books. But what is not found in this will not be found anywhere else. 1988 - A year when the epic appeared on screen 94 episodes. B R Chopra's Mahabharatha. I saw it recently and compared with 25 years later Mahabharat in Star plus. I also compared to the stories I read.

NOTE: Its a fun and stairical book which will include mythological writers/ actors/ directors which are completely writer's imagination. An interview organised by two friends Aparna and Samarth, from people around mythology. Their perspective and the starical take on the mythological stories/ shows on silver screen. Read the book to join journey with us. Not meant to hurt anyone's feeling. Any resemblece to characters/ persons/ places / shows is totally our of coincidence.

Is it necessary to facilitate the end when you already can 'predict' it's arrival or do you take the decision in your hands and fight against the seemingly inevitable future for the now?

The descending god tackles such questions through multiple narratives and characters going from Cosmic proportions to local realities to ask this question in the setting of an ancient land which stands as a surrogate India.

The stone fell defying gravity- in a fateful plunge it enamored the audience only to die off in a puddle! The uppandavs and Abhimanyu were awarded to a mirthless fate. A complete blasphemy, their sisters are left behind to take care of the orphaned- parents. Sign in to know more !
