Yes if Barsine were to say that it would indeed be 🤣.
And Alexander will also have a 🤣 🤣 🤣 when he finds out that Porus is planning on turning his own Farsi soldiers against him. When Chanakya mentioned allying with other kingdoms to strengthen their forces, he wasn't referring to this, but probably to Magadh or something. He did look skeptical and probably rolled his eyes (to himself) about yet another harebrained Porus scheme. Barsine does not command the Farsi army, Alexander does. What does Porus think? That all soldiers have loyalty issues like the PR ones? Or maybe this is the faction of Alexander's army that Porus will encourage to mutiny so that Alexander is forced to agree to returning home.
Agree on the shampoo thing, and the rainy weather and endless wet look scenes aren't helping. He also needs a haircut now.
He took the parchment from Cleitus though, so it had been well thought out. 👏 Glad you were delighted with your boy's cleverness. 😉

One: Barsine will open her saucer eyes even wider and squeak at Porus, who is whispering to her to make haste and scoot with him, "Main Shah Alexander to chhodkar kaise aa sakti hoon? Wo to mere shauhar hain!", in the best 🤣 moment in a long while.But supposing that he does pull off the rescue act, why would the Persian troops, all of whom must be having families back in Persia, at the mercy of Alexander's governor there, risk the lives of their families and side with Porus? And whom is Porus going to conclude a sandhi with after rescuing Barsine and Co.? It is ill considered nonsense, and Chanakya looks distinctly doubtful about it all.Two, if Porus does pull off the rescue, leaving Alexander with a black eye if nothing else, does that mean that he will kill Cleitus for that failing? Then he will have to balance things out by executing Hephaestion for the far more serious mistake of not making sure personally that Olympias is fine.Maybe this is how Porus will win the final battle, by making sure that Alexander is left with neither of the only two generals that SidT could afford on that 500 crore budget.He had better squeeze out some funds for a good shampoo and hair stylist for Alexander. His golden mop is looking distinctly scraggly under that coronet.Finally, Alexander is getting to be quite a whiz at whipping white parchment out of nowhere and sticking it under the nose of his bewildered interlocutor. Then Porus, now the Dasyusraj!But this time his startling display of mind reading and advance planning was dazzling even by his standards. I was delighted with my boy's cleverness, Dasyusraj had a slack jaw attack, and even the Dasyurani, a stern critic of mankind at large, was duly impressed.Shyamala Aunty
