The Kurukshetra war did not end with the battlefield. Some wars continued in silence-in the hearts of those left behind.
Vrishali, a name lost to time, was never her father's first choice. Exiled from Panchala, she carved her place in a world that did not know what to do with her. She stood where no one expected, walked paths that led her far from home, and found herself bound to something-someone-greater than destiny itself.
As war raged, alliances were tested, and choices carved wounds deeper than swords ever could. But some wounds were quiet, unseen-hidden in the spaces between longing and duty, between love and loss.
This is not just a story of war. It is a story of fate whispered in riddles, of voices carried by the tide, and of a name the waves will never forget.
Because some truths do not die.
They simply wait...
Where the waves meet the shore.

Rathantara : A Jayagatha Journey
Her hair, a cascade of raven waves, flows like the ocean's endless rhythm, each strand mirroring the ebb and flow of the sea she was born from. Her eyes, the most enchanting shade of seafoam green, hold the mystery of the deepest waters - calm yet fathomless, gentle yet fierce. When she smiles, it is as if the world itself is bathed in light, the sun rising from behind a darkened sky. Even the hardest of icebergs would melt in the warmth of her gaze. Her presence is a symphony of nature itself, a reflection of the oceans, the winds, and the skies - beautiful, powerful, and unyielding. She was Padmaja, the princess of the Trivandhya alliance, born of land and sea, the youngest of the great Trivandhya empire. She was the princess of Saurashtra, her roots deep in the soil of the sacred land, yet her heart belonged to the boundless waves. She was Mahalakshmi herself, the eternal consort of Krishna, born of the lotus and the ocean, of grace and strength. She was the one who shared his burdens, who wiped his tears and lent him a shoulder to lean on when the weight of the world became too heavy. The divine protector, the guiding hand for those who faltered, Padmaja was the mother goddess of the universe, the Sarva Swamini - the all-mother, the one who embraced all in her arms, offering love, protection, and wisdom. To the Pandavas, she was not just a figure of power but their savior, their guide, and their unwavering protector. She was the strength that bolstered their resolve and the heart that healed their wounds. She was the embodiment of compassion and power, the very force that balanced the cosmos. In her, the world found solace, in her, the divine found its purpose. She was the dawn, the moonlit night, the sun's warmth - both the protector and the protector's light. And no matter the storm, no matter the darkness that loomed, Padmaja, the princess of land and sea, would always rise - a beacon of hope, an eternal mother to all.
Paschyatap ~ Repenting Thy Sins
"Stop following me! Just let me go and leave me in peace!" she pleaded, struggling against his unrelenting grip. "I won't. Not today, not ever. Not after finding you again," he said firmly. "I don't belong here. This isn't my place. Let me go," she begged, desperation in her voice. He shook his head. "You've always belonged. Since the beginning of time, we were meant to be together." "You'll never convince me," she snapped. "I won't be part of this farce or let you treat me like an object without a will of my own." "It's not a farce. It's as real as the sun, and you will be part of it-whether you want to or not. Your only desire should be our companionship," he declared. "Please," she whispered, one last plea as her hand inched toward her waistband. "The only thing left to do... do it for her, if not for love. " he ordered. "For love?" she murmured, shaken. Then her expression hardened. "But love was never an option," she spat, her voice dripping with disgust-before she struck with full force. It wasn't supposed to end like this. Anwesha-once a soldier by choice, not birth-had embraced duty for her nation. But one failed mission led her to the dark waters of the Ganges. Caught in a whirlpool, she accepted death like an old friend. Yet, she didn't die. She woke up in another timeline, but here, she didn't belong. A misfit, a lone coal in a chest of gold. She wasn't chosen by fate, nor favored by the gods-just an accident struggling to return home. But every path back was closed. Trapped, she resolved to be a silent observer. Yet fate had other plans. She crossed paths with the Scions of Kuru, a dynasty shaping history itself. She hadn't intended to get involved, but now she was entangled in their world, for better or worse. Can she survive in this era, or will she find her way back? More importantly-who is she, really? And why her? After all, nothing in this world, or beyond it, is mere coincidence. • Book I ~ Stuck In Time Series •

choices she'll make
Choices She Made - A Tale from the Ashes of Epic She was never the one they crowned. She was the one they forgot... and she remembered everything. In a world carved by kings, queens, and gods, Aruna was not written into the legend. She was born of earth, not prophecy. Raised not in palaces, but in silence. Yet she watched as the Mahabharata unfolded around her-its heroes blazing, its heroines burning- and when the fire came for her, no one reached out. Betrayed by her sister, abandoned by her lover, erased by those she called family, Aruna did not fall- she vanished. Into forests. Into shadows. Into the kind of grief that does not break, but builds. Now, years later, her name is spoken only in whispers. A forgotten queen. A mother of storms. A woman who raised empires in exile, and children destined to return the silence once given to her. But Aruna is no ghost. She is watching. And the choices she made-once quiet, once forced- are no longer hers alone. A haunting, poetic reimagining of what lies beyond the pages of the great epic. Where queens falter, Aruna endures. Where legends end, her story begins. "Some women are not meant to be remembered by men. They are remembered by rivers, by rain, by the wind that knows the sound of betrayal." Will you remember her? Or will you, too, forget the woman who chose herself over fate? The past is not done with her. And Aruna is not done with the past.Complete
