A Yadav princess and her impetuous curiosity to invoke the celestials. A mistake that ignited the greatest war of all times. The story of an abandoned son who became one of the greatest warriors of history.

DRAUPADI’S SWAYAMVAR https://thestorymesh.com/2022/04/03/draupadis-swayamvar/ https://thestorymesh.com/2022/04/03/draupadis-swayamvar/#comments Sun, 03 Apr 2022 17:24:22 +0000 https://thestorymesh.com/?p=828 His muscular body hid his tender heart, calling out to Panchali with love and respect. "I cannot do this to him." she thought to herself. Raising from her throne, her heart called out to her, whispering words that said ‘this man would protect you. He would love and respect you. Look into his eyes. You know it.’
"But I must" she thought to herself.
"I will not marry a sutputra (son of a chariot driver)" she announced loud and clear in the assembly. Her eyes were fixed on Karna who bent low and walked away. She knew that she had hurt him. She wanted to tell him how much she respected him. That deep within she wanted to be with him. To read his eyes and to spend her life with him but was tied in the chains of society. "I am sorry Karna" she whispered.

DURYODHAN- VICTIM OR VILLAIN? https://thestorymesh.com/2022/02/20/duryodhan-victim-or-villain/ https://thestorymesh.com/2022/02/20/duryodhan-victim-or-villain/#respond Sun, 20 Feb 2022 16:24:15 +0000 https://thestorymesh.com/?p=785 Maybe I was just another victim. A soul chosen to establish dharma by engraving its name as the villain. A part of me still believes I fought for what belonged to me, I fought for Dharma. But my heart is pounding. My soul isn't silent.
I lost everything and everyone. I lost all of it only to be remembered as a villain. I fought the war all my life only to die alone. I dared to preserve the throne only to lose it to the Pandavas.
Today I know, the war was never about the throne of Hastinapur. It wasn't about brothers fighting and it wasn't about fighting for what belonged or what was promised. The war was to establish Dharma. To carve out a story that would inspire ages.

Too early" sobbed Duryodhan beside the muscular body of Karna, pierced with an arrow, lying dead on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
"Meet me on the other side. I am counting my days until I meet you again"

KARNA- THE CURSED HERO https://thestorymesh.com/2021/11/04/karna-the-cursed-hero/ https://thestorymesh.com/2021/11/04/karna-the-cursed-hero/#comments Thu, 04 Nov 2021 02:03:23 +0000 https://thestorymesh.wordpress.com/?p=26 " It is about being conscious about the right and the wrong but still choosing the latter. It is about being aware of your strengths but using them for the unjust cause."

I feel cursed for my life and this cruse is a forever one. A curse that would leave behind a false identity of me for ages to come. A curse that would mark me Adharmi but I would die being a tragic hero. A cursed hero.
