But I liked yuyu and viku convo too...now waiting for angaraaj's reply... 😛
And shon is a fictionalised name ..but the character was very much there in Mb...he had a name like shatruntapa or shatrunjit (I can not remember properly )...he was a worrier too and was killed by arjuna in Virat war...
That is the reason karna-shon relationship is one of the very interesting relationship among all the contemporary writers who have written on karna... 😳
But yes as a writer you have all the liberty to pick or reject a character... 😊
Nandita,
This story revolves around not just 2 but 3 main characters. First one who fought against his brothers in the war like karna that is yuyutsu.
Second one who fought on the unrighteous side knowingly i.e., vikarna ,though there were others too like bheesma pitamah, acharya drona and kripacharya etc.But the difference is that they all were bound by words and duty while he was not.And the third is karna whom i mentioned clearly in the prologue and thus 3 main characters.
Each of these men shared some things in common and those common points and the differences are the main essence of the story.You found vikarn-yuyutsu convo in chapter 1 but lots more is coming and there would surely be some convo between yuyutsu-karn and vikarn-karn.
Yup, there is a mention of karna's brother but he died before the kurukshetra war so i did not include him to make the scenario a little more powerful.
Why do i feel that you did not like the first part much? 😛 Was it not upto the expectation? 😕 Or i wrote something different from what you expected?
