Thank you for the votes on "Hasta-prāpya-stabaka-namito bāla-Mandāra-vṛkṣaḥ" - Chapters One to Nine. Please do tell me what you liked (or not). Unlike the show, where Raghav's history of hurting Mandar's family was neglected and Mandar wasted his time taunting Raghav and didn't use his advantage of memories with Pallavi, in my story, Mandar's impression of Raghav has evolved in these first chapters, and there will be more twists and turns in their interactions as you keep reading.
