Unfortunately I missed the chat. Although I saw some replies by Krishna today. I havent seen many replies regarding Arjuna. Well, I had one specific question. (If you think of answering later some time perhaps)

Do you like Arjuna? His character portrayal in the book does not seem so. Justify your dislike?


Other than that, I am not convinced with your answer regarding Partha. Why does he need to be a womaniser for him to develop in every book? Ofcourse he is THE most human character of Mahabharat, and ofcourse he represents people like us! But that does not mean he has to have a grudge on his elder brother, lust for Panchaali and chase after women? And he is not good enough a warrior in your book. And regarding his relationship with Govinda, same thing. Can you please elaborate on why you made him look such a coward. Arjuna was a true hero.
He did not run after women, it was the other way round
I think Arjun's greatness lay in the fact that he could let go. He was the most balanced. (That is why Geeta Gyan was given to him I suppose.) He knew how to control his emotions, he was intelligent. And again, he could LET GO.

Arjuna would never lust for Panchaali. Epic Arjuna is just like this.. But Partha's character in your book is not at all balanced. (acc to my understanding)

You exactly voiced the thoughts in my mind too.

Yeah Brishti. That is why I was so miffed about the series. Though Partha has developed in AC series, he still doesn't resemble Epic Arjuna IMO

Satyaki and Kritavarman participated, though. Former and latter on opposite warring sides.



Maybe no one from Krishna's immediate family wanted to participate given their divided loyalties...

Dear Ms. Udayshankar and other authors who will take a sneak peak at this thread to see if we are worthy of having an audience with you,
Maybe one day you could sell the international rights to publish an ebook too.

It'll save trees and the environment, it'll allow fans to carry all their favorite books wherever they go be it on their iPad, Android tablet, smartphones, Amazon Kindle / e-Readers (speaking of Kindle, try to sell on Amazon -- no clue about the process, but just a request).

Thank you!!

Just out of curiosity - how are the copyright and piracy problems with e-book? Aren't they easier to share rather than to purchase?

Not sure if they are easier to share. I don't think you can share kindle Ebooks unless you are on the same account. If it is readable only with the app, I don't see how Ebooks can be shared.

The ones available free to the public are in PDF or .Doc format mostly. I know Bhimsen is available in both formats, probably because it is an older book

Piracy must certainly be a problem with torrent downloads.

I use Scribd and I think Wattpad is similar. It's an online library service and PHs have profit sharing agreements, I believe

Thanks for the clarification.
Of course, Wattpad, PH and Scribd are Greek & Latin to me. 😳
But I understood abt pdf and Kindle version.😃
