Akanksha,

I would second my Lashykanna's comments on your poem for Harka in toto.

Beautiful Akanksha... and it's poetry.. because poetry is the expression of one's feelings... and doesn't have to be rhyming.. just has to be from the heart... and this is exactly that!

The story goes..

He goes to the war camp to meet

The shezada who was there to greet;

Who is he who is so close to the lord

But for the Ustad, who has mastered the fight with the sword?

Ustad is the man , a right hand to the Prince

The man who , also the officer of intelligence

Given the job of spying her

And the whereabouts of the Farmaan so dear

Lo! The author's brilliance seen in the scene

During the game of cards the two played between

When the Shezada asks him in words so straight

The latest about the heiress who took to flight

Ustad! a man trained by the Prince

And hence loyal to him , lies for once..

Hiding some facts he chose to prefer

With his heart full of thoughts of her..

Her statement keeps haunting his mind

"I am blind,..actually , ...partially blind!"

Oh!..What a twist to the tale so perfect

What a pleasant shock that no one did predict

When we find Ustad is none other than Akbar with the muzzle

Everything falls into its place like a jigsaw puzzle..

Does the prince notice his little pretension?

Will he trust him for his future retention?

The art of story telling reaches its pinnacle

In the creation of situations with the suspense to tackle

What a wonderful and suspenseful chapter

The author has given us in a platter

We waited like the impatient father

To see the face of the new born and gather

It in our arms and kisses we want to shower!

Ah lo! the baby is a bunch of beautiful flowers!

Karkuzhali

Very neat as always, my dear Akka!

Good Morning!

Enjoying the morning with the delicious breakfast, Chapter 15, served by Lashy!

1.The Suspenseful UAMK...

2. The Immaculate Heera...

.

3. Shyamala's Review...

4... and my coffee..

Good Lord, Akka, whatever will you do next? This is side-splitting and very flattering for me as well. Thanks a ton!

Though I must say it is really unfair to my Lashykanna, who had to slave over this chapter for over a fortnight, and then along I come and write 2 pages about it, and I am equated with her! I am surprised that she has not yet staged a dharna in protest!😉

"Twins??"

"Yes..come as a package..with Shyamala's review...!"

Lashy,

I have a technical doubt. Is USTAAD not the title that is given for anyone who has excelled in ARTS like music, dance, poet etc ? In Military and martial arts, it is called something else ? I may be wrong - But can you please clarify ?

Secondly fighting all against odds and getting united may be a great thing but sacrificing one's love for a greater cause is EPIC.

Radha - Krishna are the eternal lovers as Radha sacrified Krishna and allowed him to go to Mathura to rule. 😳

Thank you so much, my dear Bindu ( are you by any chance my young friend Bindu_nhbr?). I am very pleased that you liked this one so much.

Fantastic update
Akbar is indeed a treasure but he is a man of sehzaada , it's a big shock
He seems to be confused about what he feels for heera and that's the reason of him delaying the actual proceedings to sehzaada
But he is the reason heera's scrolls are unanswered 😔
His attention to details is amazing
Bahadur developed a sweet spot for Heera and why not she is so sweet
loved how you expressed the feelings of Bahadur
continue soon and thanks for pm

Well, Sri, we never mention this before kids, but Radha was a married woman, and was actually a distant aunt by marriage of Krishna's. If anyone were to copy this in a show now, the uproar would be horrendous!

There was thus no question, really, of her letting Krishna go. I am only surprised that her husband did not boot her out of his home. Krishna was, in any case, the totally detached nitya brahmachari, and he was devoid of any and all mohmaya. So when the time came, he must have upped and left. It is also said that she became his bansuri and went with him, but then as the Dwakradheesh, Krishna no longer played the flute.

Why, if anyone had to let him go, it would have been Yashoda and Nand. There was a beautiful long poem I read once called Nandavilaap, about Nand's anguish at the loss of Krishna.

Lashy will of course answer your question, but ustaad simply means a teacher or an instructor, who necessarily has to excel in the discipline he teaches. It need not be restricted to the arts, or indeed to anything else.

To come back to the issue under discussion, I want a nice happy ending for Akbar and Heera. I don' care a hoot for whether it is epic or not. Moreover, Sri, which great cause would have been served by their living unhappily ever after?

Sandy Begum... but I am so enjoying your (what looks like ongoing thesis) ... but, don't strain yourself too much over it 🤗

I am enjoying the thesis too. It is not often that you get to analyse something so fantastic.👍🏼

Now Lashy can only sit back and hope clever clogs Sandy doesn't come up with some discrepancies.. Lashy checks her notes again!😆)
