The four princesses of Mithila could not be more different from each other, and yet, they were as close as any group of sisters could get. The king of Videha, Seerdhwaja Janak, decides to marry the eldest of the princesses, Sita, however, the condition related to winning her hand ends up displeasing many a king, leading to unexpected circumstances.

To the world, Arjun, the mighty Gandivdhari, was the greatest warrior of his time. But to the people of Dwarika, he was an outsider- one who had taken away their beloved princess and held a place in Krishna's heart that few could rival. This work explores the evolving relationship between Arjun, and the people of Dwarika, from skepticism to acceptance.

Bhanumati's tale spoken like a memoir to her children. To remind them that, despite what the world says, their father was a good man, somewhere in him, he was a good man. The forgotten queen of Mahabharatha. Duryodhana's wife. The tragedy of being the villain's love. ******** The world will call your father the villain, and I will not stop them. Let them. The stories are not false, and I have no wish to cleanse his sins with my tears. But this my children, I write this for you to know that the man Ved Vyaasa wrote of was not the man I loved. My life has been endlessly filled with jasmines, beautiful, fragrant and fated to wilt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dharma was the cloth I held closest. I was draped in dharma. No one could ever take that from me. No amount of pulling and tugging had done that. Even in the depths of despair I had held on to it like a last cloth. I had dedicated my life to dharma. Dharma and Draupadi would be forever synonymous. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The daughter of Draupad, The wife of the Pandavas, The sakhi of Shri Krishna , The emperess of Indhraprastha , The queen of Mahabharatha

Okay, so this is basically my collection of notes, rants and incorrect quotes on the Mahabharata which I had originally posted on tumblr. I thought, why not keep it saved in one place as well. #used incorrect quote generator for some of them #cross posted on tumblr

"O Daruka! Bereft of Arjuna, I will not be able to look at the world even for an instant. Therefore, it shall not be that way." But what if, it does indeed become that way? #cross posted in tumblr #from a tumblr prompt

The events of the kala pradarshan go a little differently than expected in this kalpa. How will the story change when an unexpected friendship toes the line of what remains between buried skeletons and a dark truth? #Yep you got it. This is exactly what you think it is. I surprised myself and wrote a completely OOC story. After all, what is the point of writing fanfiction if you can't have a little fun.

A promise. A misunderstanding. A curse. ---- **----**---- Sri Krishna's vision of Dharmarajya with Yudhishtira at its helm is very near to completion. The only hurdle left is to bring the scattered kingdoms of Aryavarta under one flag. And the only way, that is possible is through the Ashwamedha Yagna. Arjuna is tired of war. He would rather spend the rest of his life with his brothers and his wives at Hastinapura, in peace. He would rather focus on slowly and surely changing the virulent hatred of his last remaining nephew into something akin to tolerance. Yet when has fate ever favoured the third Pandava Prince? His life, a travesty of tragedy and heartbreaks. How will the invincible Dhananjaya, fulfil his dharma, the dream of a united Bharatvarsha, with nothing except his broken heart, the ghosts of the past to keep company, a brother he seems to be getting distanced from with every passing minute and the son of his arch nemesis who despises the very existence of him? On the other hand, Manipur is housing a cauldron full of secrets which is at the helm of boiling over when he finally reaches its mystical gates. When the past suddenly catches up to him, Arjuna is left standing at the precipice of salvation and destruction. Question is, what will he choose? ----**----**---- Cover Credits:- @that_sarcastic_gal

"Abhimanyu, the one who blazes through life!" Sri Krishna had declared on his birth. He was the perfect amalgamation of his parent's best traits. Formed of his father's unbeatable valour and his mother's suave wisdom, Abhimanyu growing up under the tutelage of the God King Himself, was everyone's favourite. "May he never be lacking of love." Arjuna had blessed his boy, slightly embittered by the malice of the world which had swallowed the characteristic softness which had always fought to remain in the Pandava prince's heart. Maybe that was why, the thirteenth day of the Great War which had almost seen the horrific slaughter of the sixteen year old warrior at the hands of the fiendish Kaurava warriors and their allies, saw a minuscule aberration in the canvas of a destiny pre written with blood. And somewhere in the background, the peacock feather clad Dark Lord smiled through His tears. Has the wheel of fate turned in his favour or will Mahabharata's unanimously loved boy hero get lost in the annals of history like it had been ordained? #Part One of the Moonchild Series
