Inspired by author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's much sought-after and beguiling book, "The Palace of Illusions", this is a short episode reconstructed with my fanciful imagination that dares to explore the dark yet delectable alleys of the mind of one of the most formidable women characters of the epic saga, Mahabharat- Draupadi.
(P. S. ~ This piece of imagination means no disrespect to anyone's religious or personal sentiments. For those who might find it triggering, I humbly apologize beforehand.)
