String of Pearls

No matter how many books you read, you can never complete Mahabharatha, the greatest epic of all times. Each time you read it, new thoughts will pop up and new things will make sense. In the incredible maze of this never ending story, nothing is pure and no one is sinned. Evil is justified and benevolence is brushed aside, all for greater good.

Men and women of this legendary story, caught in the webs of their own words and actions, spinned the great wheels of fate and perished in the grand process to gift us this unmatchable literary gem.

But the unyielding master of lives, TIME let some of those characters to live long after their deaths in our imagination.
Though thousand characters managed to live to tell this magnificent tale, the spotlight is reserved to only few and the mortals won't shut up hailing and criticising them until the very end of time.

I am one among such mortals who chose to reiterate this giant epic from the peephole view of a dreamy young girl, enchanting princess, sidelined empress and forgotten human being - Bhanumati, the proud wife of a fallen would-have-been king.
