U remember there are two lines describing the personalities of the women of ancient age in the first story of the series Amitava... Cannot recall the exact lines but those words were just ufff!! It feels so frustrating to watch Ekta's nayi soch wala version of those ancient women in the form of Nandini or Tuntun Bhabi! If only Nandini had 10% of the sensibility that Ratta Yasodhara had! 😔

amitava was a pure delight... just a few days ago i was in kumhara which is called ancient patliputra... mahnnn how much i was remembering the reference of amitava and mrita pradip... goosebumps!!😳
those lines were really fascinating...okk let me remember...

Aunty, when I saw Durdhara in the previous episode, I was getting these one-sided love for Chandra vibes from her. Moreover, I felt that she was highly prejudiced and judgmental against the Greeks and Helena. Whenever Chandra is going to marry Nandini, I can see her ganging up with her and cheerleading her. Not that Helena is going to be bothered by such cheap stuff. She is a one woman army herself, so a hundred Durdharas or Nandinis ganging up against her will make her no difference. She would be least bothered as long as she continues having the same comradeship and consequence in Chandra's life.

Now I am coming up with a fifth theory for Chandra Durdhara marriage. Durdhara's dad dies due to a damaged liver and dies vomiting blood. Please don't ask me how it is possible to have blood cancer symptoms for a damaged liver. Anything is possible on Telly land. So the essential thing, this bloke got blood cancer as well as a damaged liver due to overload on the stomach for excessive eating and drinking. In the meantime, his feet gave way unable to bear his own body weight and his hands turned numb from excessive use for the purpose of eating, actually eating away the brain, and resulting in brain stoppage and instantaneous death.

As result of all these mighty calamities, Durdhara became orphaned. Chandra is her only remaining relative and friend. But he cannot keep her with him for fear of what the cruel society will tell. So everybody advises Chandra to marry Durdhara so that she can also stay with them. "Karyeshu Daasi, karaneshu mantri, ..." BGM is playing on in full sound; Helena will catch the sindoor in one hand, Nandini will handover the mangalsutra and Moora will read the marriage mantras while his foster mother would bless the new couple with turmeric stained rice to bless their happy married life while Chandra is cursing the whole stupid proceedings beneath his breath telling, "Kam se Kam Mera ek dost ko chodthe!"

Of course I cannot predict what the writers will do with Helena in the future, but going by what she had been shown to be thus far, let me try and answer your queries.

Really! What a courageous and dignified woman!! The stories are written in such a way that we can feel the aura of that time in each and every details of characters! We can hardly imagine those sitting in this timeline...
Isn't here any single directer who can present those stories as a series with the same aura? 😔


Remember Somdutta's last word?
"Ohh father!! please set me free now!!" (pita eibaar amake mukti din)... seriously when i was reading the story for first time i couldn't hold my tears at that point...

I do hope that some good directors notices the stories and give inital to make a series from them... and i really wish that the show should come on Epic channel... only that channel could permit the show to be presented in purest form extragatting drama and trp matter... cause i do feel that trp aunty is still not ready for such bold ladies like somdutta or ulka... the way they presented siyasat in its purest form... it was possible for only them...

My ultimate fav is kumar sambhaber kabi followed by tumi sandhyar meghmala... and then comes kaler mandira...

I remember the lines...

With the beauty of lightening strike and fire they departed from these world, don't know where?!!. that kind of beauty icouldn't be seen anymore... not even those woman... the woman now days are living like insects in the darkness of hell, the woman of those age were unconquerable like the sharp swords. conquering them was equal to posses an unbeatable wild horse...

(sorry my translation is very very bad!!!)

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Do look at these episodes, especially the one with the Chandra-Helena scene, which is No.25, I think. You should not miss that scene, otherwise you will not understand what I am saying here at all. The immediate post marriage scene in No.24 is also a must see, it is so funny!</font>

@ bold: motei na!😡 It's perfect!😃 I have searched the book again after reading your post about Somdutta. Going to revise these stories tonight. 😆

My favorite is Tumi Sandhyar Megh 😃 The story is so simple, yet so touching. 😳

i think theyve figured our dangerous fondness for helena and are going to get chandra busy with another to avoid too much romantic connection between them. lol durdhara is sweet but im afraid her bias towards helena will not let her warm up to her but im sure she will get along with nandini like two cats on a hot tin roof, the roof being helena. 😆 im not unhappy that she will leave soon. as it is i dont have much patience for sweet characters nowadays. i want something more complex. i do hope that in all of this, helena does not lose her position as maharani. she deserves that atleast for being chandra's shakti when noone else was there or could be there. but unfortunately we all know she will be embittered once her children are declared unfit for the throne by default of race and fair enough. i dont begrudge her that. ofcourse in the two historical versions- either she is durdhara and bindusara is her biological son before she dies OR she comes into chandra's life much later and her son (megasthenes apparently records a son from her) was anyways much younger than an already announced yuvraj bindusara so it was hardly discrimination.

whenever i read those likes of saradindu and try to find resemblance with ekta's nayi soch wali nandini and tun tun bhabi then i was like... ohh mahnn!!😆😆... its not like that shweta is bad acctress.. but nandini's character is still so dull...

I love Kumarsambhaber kabi most from all his novels... such an wonderful novel on kalidas's life... man that sayambar scene of princess haimashree was hilarious!!😆😆...
Tumi sandhyar meghmala comes on 2nd... such a delightful story it was... king laxmikarn was such a joker!!!😆😆

nd from the short stories... there are lots and lots.. cant pick amyone.. after reading Rakta-Sandhya i feel that western world should never get to find the sea route to our country... it was by far the most tragedic from his stories... the ending literally made me loath Da-gama..

You, my dear Shailaja, belong in the studios! What a gorgeously lurid script you have cooked up!

Alas, this marvellously amusing take was ruined in tonight's precap. Chandra marries someone, clearly Durdhara, and her father, the Mukri-clone (that chap was a short, fat comedian in the 1970s and 80s) was very much among the living, standing there and showering flowers on the bride and groom. Helena was also there, doing the same thing, One could not make out whether she was cheesed off about it or not.

The comic part of this was Nandini, in Pataliputra, reporting to Amatya Rakshas (his real name is Katyayan!) that Chandra was getting married once more kuch rajnaitik labh ke liye, and they were very keen to ascertain whom he was marrying and what the political advantage would be. I can see none, unless Chandra planned to run for the post of the village panchayat pradhan!😆

Chandra does not have a single wife who is really well born. One is a barber's daughter, one is a village bumpkin's daughter, so the third, who is at least the daughter of one of Alexander's generals, is the best born of the lot!

I too hope that her equation with Chandra stays intact even after these marriages. I did not like Durdhara yesterday as much as I had in her first appearance. She looked pinch faced and her acting left a lot to be desired.

My dear Ela,

It is so good to have you back with me. I am glad you enjoyed this one, and that you like Helena as much as I do. Fingers crossed for her, and for the Chandra-Helena relationship, to stay as they are now.

Tun Tun bhabhi is a perennial delight. I was in stitches over her disastrously candid Harsh Bhogle style running commentary on the first battle, till she was silenced by her saas!😆
