Hello Panchu di 🤗.. This was a very very interesting read., a different perspective.. it was very relatable and you have brought out the feelings, thoughts and emotions of Duryodhan very beautifully 😊.. you have done a awesome job 👏👏., as it is not so easy to write from another perspective which questions everything ppl believe in from an established and trusted text.. well done di..

The part of Kid duryodhan was the best 😳 it was too good. .

A very thoughtful piece, it reads well like a play soliloquy with a raw kind of theatricality to it, that one can imagine it being played out centre stage, lights darken and hones in on this man and his thoughts which play out in fleeting flashback of his life. It captures well that part of Duryodhana that we aren't allowed to enter into. Peter Brooks Duryodhana and of course Ajaya's Duryodhana permits us that space to break out of those preconceptions, and to some degree the 2 other popular portrayals

I don't know what to say I am nothing in comparisons to those great authors and directors.

I wrote it with all my emotions, I shed tears while writing this OS... because entering Duryadhan's mind was not so easy for me... and that's why this short OS took one week to complete...

I am one of those people that cannot bring myself to condemn Duryodhana as absolute evil, merely because it is the common belief, spread in literature, a notion that has been perpetuated over history through a one dimensional perspective that has been set up to propagate other agendas, and even if he were all that, who am I as a common human being, to judge him?

Frankly, one has to search within themselves and come to their own decision about right and wrong. The idea of 'Dharma' has been warped so much to serve to a specific agenda, but its up to us to interpret it and give it meaning, rather than allow others to dictate for us what is right and wrong. The duality that exists within all beings makes us capable of acts of both good and evil, we have that potential, values change over time and with it the ideas of righteousness.

I completely agree

Impressive work Panchali👏

Thank you Riya/ Rageeni 😊 your comment means a lot..I have pm ed you this OS god knows how many times and I even scrapped you the link...

from my earlier days in this forum I knew you feel for Duryadhan, so I eagerly wanted you to read it...and you don't how happy I am that you finally read it 😃

P.S:- I too am shipping Daeneysnow, but I don't trust author GRRM. I only hope he atleast shows some connection between the two 😃

Your welcome and

yay,! welcome to the club-

Thank you 😊

I think Dany and Jon Snow have more parallels than any other characters in Game of Thrones, the way they have been built up, makes you wonder if their paths will collide, I believe the story will condense down to those two principle characters, in some way and if not I would be sorely disappointed.
