Many questions remain unanswered. I met most of them but still a puzzle. Why these 18 days of war? Why this brotherhood rivalry? Why a newborn was left floating in the river? Did I witness Lord Indra before my eyes? What is this happening it is a dream or a reality?
Want to know what Am I talking about then I would like to take you all to my that page on dairy and the amazing experiences of ancient India.
MY ARRIVAL IN THE ERA
I saw a different structure lying there on the barren land that day, felt like a vehicle but still, the shape of the vase was what I felt. That curious and weird vehicle was grabbing my attention from far away. Didn’t know there was a different attraction towards it an urge to go and take a drive after a slight touch it was transformed into the shape of the car that was meant for long distances. With different parameters, even the engine looked very different.
There was a big red button that I pressed and there was of gush of light in front of my eyes. For a while I was not in my senses, I guess. And suddenly a hardness was felt and I was away from my seat. With lots of effort, I opened my eyes and saw myself on a beautiful shore. I was feeling at peace from inside a look upwards indicated to me that it was early morning around 6.00 am. A look beside demanded my attention towards a man bright as the sun, with body build, shining golden armour, and 7 feet tall. For a minute I felt as if I am landed on some stage wherein some play is going on. Then after getting up, I walked toward that man and asked where am I. he replied क िं भवतः अकवतर्! I did not understand so I walked further.
After covering a distance very far I was just able to see small villages and nothing even after starching my head I was not able to figure out where Am I and why everyone here speaks a different language and dresses differently. Even my cell phone is not working as there is no signal. Then I heard an announcement as Pitama padhar rahe hai and everyone bowed their head.
Now I was getting the link to what was happening with me and this name yes, I had heard from my grandmother’s mouth. It was Mahabharata and I was in that era that weird-looking thing was a time machine. Oh, this was dam exciting and there was a longing to explore more. I decided to stay there. Following Pitama I reached the castle I was very excited to meet Kauravas and Pandavas and their elder brother Karn in Hastinapur. I wanted to click pics with all of them and wanted to show all in my ear that see I met Mahabharata characters and it is for real which we think is fictional. From there my new journey started as much newer was yet to come on my way.
MY VARIOUS THOUGHTS
It was three entire days I lived in the palace with a lavish life and even each person was known to me. Hehe, If I introduce them, they will be like this Dharudhar Arjun, Mahabali Bheem, Aswin twins Nakul and Sahadev, and finally Dharmraj Yushistir. For 100 Kauravas I had only one question how everyone remembers their name even. But even among many people, one was missing Suryaputra Karna he has not visited the castle for three days where is he? if I talk to myself then I had seen even village life and Castell life they were going to the river Ganga for bathing and these people had their bathroom. Things were too different from our era. In only three days I had many questions revolving around my mind like,
These are all questions that come to my mind time and time again while living here in this Mahabharata period.
More pages are to be written ahead with arising of new questions each day and experiencing each character closely.
