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.

There are two primary choices in life : to accept conditions as they exist or accept responsibility for changing them - Devakinandana Vāsudeva Krishna. "You know what is right and what is wrong, husband," She said softly, looking into his dark eyes filled with emotional turmoil, "But be assured that you would have take responsibility for your actions." Radheya glanced at the child, Arjuna's son, sprawled on the ground bleeding from various places. His beloved wife's words, spoken when he broke down in front of her after he found out his birth truth, played ceaselessly in his mind. Her voice had been firm and unyielding that day. She had given him the strength he had needed to make the decision to stay with Duryodhana till the end. But...this? He gulped, wondering if he could watch his nephew's death, so near to his eyes. Should he interfere? But hasn't this boy killed his beloved Laxmana? 'What actions you take, remember you would be liable for it,' Radheya thought, a frustrated sigh escaping his lips. Closing his eyes, he made a decision. He just hoped his darling wife would support him in this, otherwise, he had no idea how he would deal with the mess he was about to create. ?️#6 in Kunti ?️#5 in BhishmaComplete
Radheya Karna: A Fallen Hero or A Sacrificing Sage? (Karna Series 1)
In the age of Mahabharat, at Hastinapur Khatriyo Adhiradh fell in love with Sudro girl Radha. They got married but failed to produce any offspring. Many years later, in Ganga river, they discovered a newly born child with earrings and armor. His face was bright as daylight. They took him and named him Basusen. Later Maharishi Parasuram took him as his disciple but Dronacharya refuted while giving him the name of Karna. He was a great archer and powerful fighter. His dream of life was to defeat Arjuna, the greatest archer of India and the Prince of Hastinapur. At the day of archery competition, he even challenged his rival but refuted by Kulguru Kripacharya for not being a Prince. Arjuna's cousin, Duryodhan, immeditely befriended him and rewarded him the throne of Anga Pradesh (today's Behar). He became Angaraj and became the loyal friend of Duryodhan till his death. He even had to take part in his friend's gulit, agony and wrongdoings unwantedly. But he had a secret in his birth. Did it make him or ultimately break him before the final war of Kurukshetra against Arjuna? Some of avid readers are asking why I did not mention here about his lover Baishali or his third wife Uruvi. Yes I had removed their names as I planned to pen down separate stories on all of them. I had followed Ved Vyas Mahabharata here mostly. I don't want to make this book into a big fat novel. So I write down a whole series on his each wives and off springs, Vrishaketu & Padmaja. Sorry if you find this story not related to my all other stories of Karna Series. This is my second story on my favorite Mahabharata series. He is my childhood crush till today. I dedicate this book only to him. This is my original story and I strongly declare that I did not publish it on any other platform than here. The source of the story were Mahabharat and related stories or biographies on Angaraj Karna. Pictures were taken from public domain. Images courtesy: Youtube, Google Chrome and Pinterest.Complete
Draupadi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dharma was the cloth I held closest. I was draped in dharma.

Our Curse ✅
This story has been running in my brain lately. About the great sons of Mahabharatha warriors getting cursed to live a painful life in the cruel time of Kaliyuga. This story mainly concentrares on the first borns of some of the renown Warriors of Mahabharatha namely Karn, Arjun and many more. It's a fun story with different point of views and if you find a story similar to this probably it's a coincidence. This story contains some crazy and unimaginable stuff and also purely fictional. There would be some dialogues in hindi. Do give this story a chance if you think it worth it. »»--⍟--««»»--⍟--««»»--⍟--«« Abhi : Bhai I swear I just came to a birthday party. Ram : Then did you freaking lie to me Abhi? 🤷♂️. *･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･* Divya : So you are telling the great yudhishthir which is you are my father.

Threads of Her Fate
She was fire once used to light a kingdom, now she blazes to burn it down. Betrayed by the husbands she stood beside, erased by the wives she protected, and forgotten by the very world she held together, Draupadi has lived through pain, injustice, and silence. But no more. Reborn with memories of her past life, this time she refuses to be a pawn in a game of dharma and deception. With Krishna by her side, the divine friend who remembers everything, Draupadi carves out a kingdom of her own - built on justice, love, and fierce loyalty. As the Pandavas' Indraprastha decays without her, as their wives scramble to uphold a crumbling illusion, Draupadi thrives. This is not the story of a dutiful queen. This is the saga of a woman who takes her destiny into her own hands. Of revenge served with divine laughter, of kingdoms lost and reclaimed, of love redefined, and of power unapologetically worn. In this life, she bows to no one. Not even fate.Complete

I'm here with a new book! Note: This story is inspired & has the characters from the masterpiece that is Mahabharat but not all plots match the epic. I have no intention of dishonouring any of the characters of the original great epic. This is but a peice of fiction meant for enjoyment.
