I really wish to see a full pack action war between Chandra and nand.
More than that, there must be war of knowledge between chanakya and Amatya.
Nand should not get defeated easily,for he is the main villain.Chandra has snatched Magadh,Nandini and his wealth from him.That rage should be in Nand's heart.He should not spare Chandra and at the same time Chandra will have dilemma in killing Nand because of Nandini. Let us see.

Chanakya..., The man always have something up his sleeves. A wise PM a King could have.

The Chandini moments overlooking Pataliputra and he sharing his dream and war plans ... their magnetism that they have for each other, is visible even to the normal soldiers.

So... the horoscope of Nandini has finally come to play a role here. For a moment there, I thought that Nandini and her ring of soldiers are gonna be finished along with Ram Leela... but, clever girl !!!

Nandini ...
a Queen who sensed the need of the hour to get help from Arjun,
a true Patriot who would offer suggestions for survival at the right hour, even if it is to the PM...
a Wife who wants to stand by her husband at his most weak moments... even if means standing against her own blood, for the sake of the Kingdom and its people,
a Student in front of her own husband learning practical lessons about warfare,
a Politician who learnt about what's happening in her own Kingdom and how to deal with it...

She was instinctive and spontaneous in learning about War strategies and tactics from the book after hearing normal conversations at Dinner time, and promptly getting ready to accompany her husband in the war, ... and she manages to pull off from getting cornered and becoming her husband's weakest link in the jungle to Taking decisions and guiding her soldiers - now that's what I would expect from a Queen. The presence of mind to go solo in action, when the need arises. And she gets the appreciation from her husband's eyes for it... Brilliant.

Thank you for this beautiful review Sangeeta. My mood has been very despondent and demoralized of late. As you know I love writing FFs and also reading FFs or spin offs about my favorite stories or characters as a hobby or pastime though it is not my profession.

I was casually discussing a book I was reading, The Rise of Sivagami, to be precise. This as you know is a prequel to Bahubali 1 and Bahubali 2. And a person who was very close to me and who knew I write FFs and also love reading FFs making a very scathing and off-hand comment "Writing a fiction about a fiction is the most useless and baseless thing in the world. How can somebody write or read something that in itself doesn't have a base and is a fiction? Why not write something completely original if you think your work is so good and worthwhile? All that you people who write FFs are doing is cashing upon the craze or liking for a particular story or characters and its fans by writing your own stories on them. Nobody would read your stories if you gave your own names or if it was not related to that particular show."

The person was making this comment without even reading any of the FFs I had written before deciding whether it was worthy of time and effort or useless. But it did break my heart to think this is how some people think about people who write something that might not be completely original and need a few character names or character traits or a few initial situations or events to set their creative mills rolling.

Anyhow, I never claim my FFs are completely original. I clearly do mention they are fan fiction. Even here, I needed the initial impetus to write from this show either as an inspiration or as a reverse reaction. And even when whole tracks or ideas from my FF get lifted I don't sue anybody or make a hue and cry over copyright violations or plagiarism. And I don't sell or make money out of what I write.

What is so wrong if I amuse myself writing something and please others who love reading it? I haven't been able to write a single line ever since this conversation I had.I knew this was just another personal opinion and that no amount of arguments I was going to cite were going to convince this person. But sometimes even opinions can be crippling and that too when they come from people you personally know.

you are a gifted writer. God has given you an ability to transfer a thought into a story.It is not an easy joke to writea story. Most tiresome and hard process.please dont stop writing. See more than the story how you write matters a lot.If you ask my opinion as a reader I enjoy the writing style more than the story plot .Description should make the readers visualize.I really wish you to trust your heart and proceed.If you could get a satisfaction then you have hited the bull's eye. again opinion varies from person to person.if that particular person demoralises you dont discuss this with them

If you are going to get demoralised and stop writing i think we readers will be facing the brunt not that person.

Avantika

I write for all of you here who read. I too know that. But when you get such a bad dose of negativity and scathing criticism from a person you personally know and are close to, it definitely affects you and gets to you. If I wouldn't share my issues and problems with my friends, where would I go? I definitely needed this dash of positivity. Thank you Avantika. I will hopefully get over this bad experience in a day or two. This is my longest and most ambitious FF till date. I too would want to complete it successfully if not for others, for myself and the readers who love it.

Thats my girl. Cheer up.

I was just apologising to Stuti for not writing comments on her latest chapters.

And I share with you and Avantika and Siva the same feelings that I shared with her :

And the reason for not posting comments regularly is my maiden attempt in story writing skills...

And I have learnt a lot in the last 10 days - about myself - about writers - about creative writers in general.

I write... and rewrite... make mistakes. Correct it. Then fine tune it. Then check if I hv gone out of track ... and bring the story back into plot... not to mention my other dilemma of Checking grammar, formatting, font size. Colour, etc. Etc...

Then when I am having my lunch or doing something, suddenly a new idea pops up. And by the time I get time to type in on PC, I forget what the idea was..,and end up typing something else altogether.

something that I thought would just take a day or two, has taken me more than 10 days and I am still writing.

And only when I started writing, did i realise how MUCH I HAVE FORGOTTEN english words, and how much i have stayed out of touch with my writing skills.

Damn, i keep searching and searching for words to put my feelings / visions on paper. (And I credit Lalitha aka Siva06 for it - That girl manages to put her post within half an hour to 45 minutes of watching an episode on a Daily Basis - and what choice of words, with so much positivity brimming in her, and she manages to cheer up all those kids who give up on the Show as well 👏).

I heave a sigh of relief when the Word Document template doesn't prompt me much with grammatical errors 😆

Itis SO DAMN EASY to read and post your comments as a CRITIC to someone's FF or Threads.

But its only when you start writing, you go out of sequence, out of thoughts, in search of words, etc. Creating something takes time and effort, both physical and psychological ...

And not to forget, the research that goes through it - to bring credibility to your character, to your story plot, you also need to check if there's any backing or precedence for it. And thats not an easy job.

Plus, to think of a suitable title that goes in line with your story - especially if its a long one like Shailaja's.

Phew... and you guys do it so beautifully... hats off !!!

yes San thats why I say once again writing is not as easy as we imagine.Thats why i made request in my ff thrrad to silent readers please support all the writers of if by putting a like if you liked it.It means a lot to writers that soneone reads and likes our work.Seriously to write a first line in blossom i was struggling a lot.So agree each and every word san reg critic and writing

pn even after repeated proof reading I find some spell mistakes in my ff.so again i will correct. at that time server will not respond.But that does not deter the joy of writing.
