Some women are burnt in fire and some are just born from it. One of them was Krishnaa. U can even call her Draupadi or PANCHALI or Yajnaseni or Nitayuvani or whatever u want u can call her. Do u know who Draupadi was? Was she only the Princess of Panchal? Was she only the common wife of Pandav? Was she only the daughter in law of Kuru clan? Was she only the Queen of Indraprastha? Was she just a mother of Abhimanyu and Uppandavs? Or was she a mannerless woman who insulted Danveer Karna and her brother in law Duryodhan? Was she a whore or unchaste as said by Danveer Angraj Karna? Or wasn't she a good wife as claimed by DharmaRaj Yudhisthira that her love was biased towards Arjuna? Or was she a blood thirsty woman who wanted to wash her hair with the blood of her brother in law? Or was she thirsty for the great Mahabharat....for the revenge? Was her humiliation just a small thing which doesn't need a Mahabharat? Is it wrong to express your Love towards someone and not allowing the other to be your partner? Is it wrong to laugh ? (Even if both the things are never done by her) Is it wrong to love someone more than the other? Or does being the wife of five men makes and following your dharma and the order of your mother makes you a whore? If u have the answer u can feel free to comment.♥️ No one was able to understand her feelings, no one was able to understand what Panchali wants. No one could get the pain she went through in the so called Dharma Sabha of Hastinapur. Except one.... Her Sakha, her best friend, her brother, her Govind....our Krishna. So here is KRISHNA KI KRISHNAA for u ....one of the most true and selfless friendship in Mahabharat. It's a work of fiction. Cover and banner By-- @stylesoftimothee

Sometimes the simplest feeling of completing a deed brings a sweet moment of joy. Thank you for allowing me to share these simple thoughts. I wish you the best. I would appreciate your comments and vote if my writing touches your heart. Again, thank you for your time. Stay safe! ~Rose
