As the princes
made rapid progress, the fame of Dronacharya reached far and wide across
countries and many princes and other worthy students from distant countries and
land came flocking to Hastinapur to learn from the Acharya. Although the Master
wanted to give more time to his son Aswathama, he was finding it difficult.
With the rise in number of students, the problem was compounded. The Acharya
then began giving special tasks to the princes to keep them engaged so that he
could carve out some time to teach his son exclusively. However, these little
tricks did not escape Arjun’s eyes. He somehow managed to finish all errands
and be around his Master all the time. As a result, he received the all the
lessons that his Guruputra Aswathama received. On the top of these, he
also managed to learn something more by his sheer capability and by virtue of
making his Master happy.
This is an attempt to retell the story of the great Indian epic, Mahabharat - in a different manner and style adapted to modern times to the extent possible. The posts are sequential. Readers are advised to start from Episode no 1 and then gradually move upwards.
