well currently regarding ⭐️shetra what is irritating me the most is firstly the lack of Bhishma's involvement in the actual war and the continuous chatting that goes on between the warriors.I really don't understand in the actual war did any one have time to chat around especially these maharathi's with hundred's of arrows flying at them ,other warriors attacking them all the time
It's like having a tea party each time they meet:
Warrior on P side (P): Hello warrior on K side.
Warrior on K side (K): Hello warrior on P side.
P: How are you doing?
K: I'm doing fine, thank you for asking. How about yourself?
P: Well the war has gotten me all frenzy but I miss you so much, so I come to the battlefield.
K: Ah yes, it's a shame because of the rules and curfew. As much as I want to come visit you after the day's war has ended, we cannot break the rules since this will symbolize breaking dharma.
P: So how about some tea then, you know before we get on with the action. We might as well make the best use of the time, you know...
K: I guess so.
P: (claps hands twice) -- you senik.
(senik is busy fighting)
P: (claps hands twice again) -- hey you senik that's fighting...
S: What it is sir. I'm (breathes) fighting.
P: My friend here and I are having some tea. Bring a table and a chair now.
S: That's too far away.
P: Are you denying me?
S: No .. ahhh! (close call as he almost got stabbed). But it's impossible for me.
P: You are useless. How dare you deny my friend and I some tea time.
S: No offense, but shouldn't you be fighting.
P: Useless fellow.
K: Now now, calm down mitra. It will all be ok. Here come aboard my chariot. We can sit and chat and have tea.
P: That works.. it would have been nicer on the ground, but (shoots dirty look at senik who has now been stabbed and fallen to the floor). Good riddance.
(P picks up what looks like a briefcase and casually walks over to K. Any soldier who tries to attack P was killed by K's arrows).
P: ooh. good shot mitra.
K: well I'm no Arjun. Tee Hee Hee.
P: Tee Hee Hee.
P: (opens briefcase to show his portable tea set.)
P: Oh dear. I don't have any more tea packets on me. Damn.
K: Oh .. hmmm.
P: Let's pretend to have imaginary tea.
K: Sure that works!
P: (hands a tea cup to K and pretends to pour water from the kettle)
K: Oh woah. Very hot water huh.
P: (smiles) How many teaspoons of sugar would you like?
K: Mm. How about 3 teaspoons.
P: (nods, adds 3 teaspoons of imaginary sugar) 1, 2, 3.
K: Now let me serve you dear friend.
P: If you insist.
K: Here you go. (hands a tea cup to K and pretends to pour water from the kettle)
P: Phew! You were right. This water is hot!!
K: (smiles) How many teaspoons of sugar?
P: I like 2 teaspoons
K: (nods, adds 2 teaspoons of imaginary sugar) 1, 2.
P&K: cheers (both lighting clink the edges of their teacups).
K: mmm P, this tea is fascinating.
P: you're right K! The taste is simply fabulous
K: you know P. I honestly don't want to fight you.
P: You know, I think the same thing.
K: Are there any memories you can think of that can aid me in giving a reason why I should raise my arms against you. I fear my hands won't stay steady when aimed at you.
P: Only if you can think of one for me.
K: Hmmm.
P: Hmmm.
K's Charioteer (KC): I have one your highness.
K: Ahh KC. Excellent. Tell me.
P: (whispers) K, he was listening to our conversations.
K: (whispers) No don't worry about KC. He's very trustworthy and reliable.
(normal voice) ok KC tell me what you are thinking of
KC: Well how about the fact that you are both warriors on different sides. You are partial, thus you have to fight.
K: Well ... what a useless fellow.
KC: (mouths) wow ...
P: What an idiot charioteer you have.
K: Tell me about it. The other day, I was barely saved because this idiot decides to make a left turn instead of right, leading me towards Bhishma rather than the Pandava army!!
P: What!!! what a fool.
K: I know. It was thanks to my brains that kept me away from Bhishma. I had to jump off my chariot and leap onto another chariot. This idiot was going to make it look like I was retreating or something.
KC (mouths): You told me to do that!!
P: What a useless garbage. Here is my friend's address. Send him a message, he will definitely come and be your charioteer. Much more reliable.
K: (sips last drop of tea) Ahh this tea was fabulous.
P: I told you so!
K: Let's do this again sometime huh
P: How about tomorrow, same time?
K: (Looks up at the sky) Hmm when the sun is slightly more west than mid-day. that works. Fantastic time to take a tea break.
P: Should we meet here then?
K: Excellent suggestion.
P: Hmm ... so should we go back to fighting then?
K: Honestly, I don't think so. My doctor recommends that we shouldn't fight after having a meal.
P: Nice thought. You saved me again!
K: Let's rest here for 30 minutes.
P: Awesome idea.
(they go to sleep)
Another P: What is P doing with K sleeping together?
30 minutes later
P: *YAWNNN* That was a good rest!!
K: My energy is coming back. Let's fight now!
P: You know, I'm still a bit tired. I should walk this off. Can you keep an eye out for me while I walk back?
K: Definitely!
P: (walks back to his chariot, while K shoots anyone who attacks P)
K: Ready mitra.
P: Ready mitra!
K: Before we start ... I just want to say I'm sorry if I hurt you! I'll try not to hurt you
P: Me too!! I'll try not to hurt you either~ for the sake of our tea party tomorrow
K: (blows conch)
P: (blows conch)
A distance away, the commander of both armies notice K and P blowing their conchs. They both think that a maha-yuddh will take place... but boy were they wrong...
