So Gandhari in her palace is busy extinguishing all lights in Hastinapur. Duryodhan & Shakuni join her to argue the decision.
G: Putr Duryodhan, I see only darkness all around, and these lights are creating an illusion, so I ordered them extinguished.
S: Priye behn Gandhari, reason you see darkness is that you've blindfolded yourself for years. Otherwise, the future is bright.
D: Matae, don't you trust my samarth?
G: Putr, do you still think you have samarth? Your vastras flew off in court, & Bhanumati - why don't I ever see her - wasn't there to enjoy the scene.
S: Reason you don't see her, priye behn is - might I remind you - the blindfold?!
G: Brata Shakuni, you've loved my kids, but taught them how to cherish a mukut over their mother
Gandhari has obviously channeled Vrushali 😆
G: I kept them in my womb for 2 years, but you weaned them away from me & did everything to destroy my family.
S: Gandhari, isn't that why Maharaj was so pissed @ you? Had you given birth to them @ normal time, all your 100 sons would have been ahead of Yudisthir, much more Bhima, and there wouldn't be a rivalry b/w them.
Dhritarashtra comes in & joins the conversation.
D: That's right, Gandhari. Why blame Gandharaj for something that you yourself are @ fault for? Had we had Duryodhan in time, we wouldn't have had to part w/ Khandavaprastha. We would have had the entire kingdom for myself & Duryodhan. The Pandavas would all be serving Virajas. Everything is your fault here.
Dushashan joins as well
D: Yeah, matae, what sort of mother are you, keeping us inside to deprive us of the mukut? My samarth - even though Draupadi drew my sword on me, I seized it back from her. Idiot thought she could win a fight w/ me. Well, I showed her!!!
Gandhari gets shocked, & puts her hand on Shakuni's torch & extinguishes it. Shakuni is shocked!
