Some showed their proficiency in archery, some in operating mace, some in driving spears. As they, one by one, finished their turn, people clapped and encouraged. Of them Dushashan and Bikarna, two brothers of Duryodhan distinguished themselves with very high standard of archery. Though the blind royal couple could not see the feats of their sons, their attendant kept giving them a vivid description. The sound of appreciation rose from the audience at intervals.
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.
