So here is my first post....must tell u i had enough trouble setting this whole thing..... its not the problem of the blog nor of my system nor that i dint kno how to work ......i'm not an expert but i manage to sit and find out how to do things iwant to.....K...k...i'm getting to the topic....The problem was with the topic....The palace of illusions......This pic wnt even match the image that you create when u read Chitra Divakaruni's Palace of Illusions.....Must say,these old kings were quite really creative....So Wat do u think abt the Mahabaharata.....the epic story of the battle b/w The pandavas and kauravas?? After reading about the great world wars ,the India-pak wars,the America-iraq wars ,i never felt the feel get when i think abt the Mahabharata....There is sumkindf of royalty or sumthing special that makes me feel this battle is different apart from the facts that it was fought long...long back where human's lived with gods as i inerpret from the book.So if still the greatest battle can occur when God's livedwith humans, y not a war in this Kaliyug..... ok,its been a lot of questions..... so this book is kindf of a female version of mahabharata...i mean its narrated by Draupadi,the fire-born daughter of Draupadi,king of panchaal. The story is the same of how she gets married to pandavas,how through the course of tym due to several reasons,they fight with kauravs and regain their kingdom......But the story also brings to light lot of emotions,personal traits of each person.....must say that even after being a girl i never knew that girls could actually be so observant to notice very silly things and conclude lot of facts from it......As the story unveils, i was getting more and more confused as to who is right and who is wrong......Everyone is right on their part but stil wrong.Thus the story tadctfully conclude that no one is perfect.The feelings shared by Draupadi and Krna since the day they met him is another interesting story of the book.....Mayb because of hat pure love that made karna better than other characters of the story......After all love is special!! The story also concludes the evil tht almost all battles are fought for money and women and the off-late new conclusion by men that women are evil!!The book also prtrays the evils in a woman's heart even after being narrated by the Queen Panchali!! And the most curious thing about the story and the book is it connects and resembles different sections of a sociey rather than a few people.....The final credit goes to sage Vyasa who wrote this epic story!!
