Ahhhh I totally shipped Anand and Siddhi 😭 I wanted them to be a couple...I could never like Kunal as much as Anand
I am fascinated with Mahabharata too! My Sanskrit teacher had read/studied the original texts and used to conduct free classes for us (we were so curious) on a Saturday of each month!
I've read Devdutt Pattanaik's version and it was interesting as well.
Wow, that is absolutely amazing!! I read english translations or analysis that are they are often written by westerners because I can't read Hindi and the trouble with that is that sometimes they sound very dismissive or condescending and it annoys me. I honestly read it from more of a literature perspective rather than religious but still we have certain emotions tied to it.
