Hi Jyoti,
The main point is that Arjun has hardly ever been understood - not as a warrior, not as a human, not as a husband.
Yes, he is admired for his concentration, for his archery, for his focus and for being recipient of Bhagwad Geeta.

However, given his roller-coaster life, the crests & troughs, his masculine - eunuch transitions, his warrior occupation coupled with his compassionate nature, I find his emotions rarely explored or empathized. The focus has largely remained centered on his achievements as a devotee & warrior.

I was aghast to find him ridiculed, abused and distorted by fictional works based on Mahabharata.
There is, in recent times, a tendency to vilify heroes and deify villains. All I am trying is to restore glory back where it deserves to be - and for the right reasons. (less)
Shinde Sweety Yes, am mulling over short stories from the medical world. They are still germinating in my mind and awaiting their birth on paper/ laptop.
