many here know that i write but i never wrote anything on her , you all know i am not a fan of her may be i don't like her , i don't know what is true , i only know thing is i don't understand her in the way all understands her , so suddenly something popped up in my crazy mind and i took my pen , i wrote in a haphazard, i actually don't know what i was writing so don't think of its quality or literature its not any story either , just something i had in mind
note : entirely my p.o.v . its possible it won't match with others , accept it as my interpretation only that's it , please don't take it any sentimental way
its not much worth reading not a good piece so forgive me for that

Over the ages i had been most controversial woman in Indian culture , Mythology , History. Century after century scholars had researched , debated over me, authors created own fantasy , people feared me, worshiped me , yet used my name as an abuse. I had been considered a symbol for woman power , the epitome of feminism by feminist. I had been sympathized, respected, admired, fared , loved , hated but end conclusion of everyone was i am not a normal woman., perhaps a form of goddess shakti or daughter of fire, or symbol of revenge , destruction personified. I might have obtained divine boon or curse, i am counted as eternal vergins , one of sacred five maidens (panchakanya) whatever it is i am not a normal human being with flesh and blood. I am Yagyaseni, born from fire of Yagya, Draupadi , daughter of king Drupad, Panchali princess of Panchal, Krishnaa, having the darkish skin. Being born from sacred sacrificial fire made my life as a sacrifice but i am not considered symbol of sacrifice , mine being devoted to my husbands doesn't count me in same line of Sita , Damayanti , Savitri. But you know what? i am happy about that. , because behind all these heavy words of my identity i am just me , a simple normal woman which people forgets.
From the very beginning i was a normal princess with usual demands and dreams. i never knew with which motive great creator created me same as other beings. i knew i was called most beautiful woman of my time by closed ones , although enjoyed the praise but honestly i never felt like to be the one. . i was lacked the main condition to meet the traditional conception of beauty- the fair skin, i always had a grievance about that , i was quite sensitive about my skin color. having the royal blood in vein i had temper, i used to talk harsh at times and i knew people used to fear that but i feel that also a characteristic of royal Kshatriya princess , obviously that doesn't make me different , not that i was disrespectful anyway. I used to question whenever i felt something is not going right as per me , i didn't hesitate to raise question to my elders or even to the powerful sages or Brahmins whom normally people fears to face. My this behavior was considered a proud one or as the strength of my character, but it was only my inquisitiveness that used to drive me to question.
People says creator has adorned me with all possible qualities but i knew it was only my wish to learn. Probably this was the only gift i received from the creator , my thirst for knowledge , be it of any kind. I studied Vedas , Purana , i learn fine arts and culinary skill all because i loved to learn. I was not gifted by such qualities i acquired them. May be my only born quality was ability to receive knowledge from different field. I was proud of my qualities well that is not unnatural , i was called proud princess but truly my pride never covered my humbleness so even there too i was not different .
Like any other young girl , i used to spend time with impossible imagination, i used to cry , laugh , be angry , be cheerful absolutely like any normal girl .
Being born from fire was what that makes me different? but do you really believe anyone can born from fire? It was not reality it was symbolic. My twin brother Dhristadyumna and me both were born from mother's womb only. The fact was that the fire of revenge in father's heart controlled our life, we were not more than 12 then when Father got defeated and humiliated and arranged the sacrificial offerings to acquire the boons to take the revenge, He wanted to fulfill his goal through Dhrit only but gods decided me to be prepared for an ultimate event. Which event i didn't know. I still don't know what i obtained was a boon or curse. I only knew that sacrificial fire changed the direction of my life. Dhristadyumna was sure about his goal of life- killing father's friend turned enemy Dronacharya but my life was like rudderless ship, i was not a normal princess any more my life couldn't go normally , but i still was not sure in which direction my life will go , what is making me different. What is the ultimate event? that can change history of Aryabarta? how come i alone be the reason? This question used to make me restless and scared too. In such a state of dilemma as a royal guest of Panchal sakha entered into my life, to give the direction that i was looking for
