Shinde Sweety:
Kurukshetra scenes in your novel are brief inspite of Arjun the supreme warrior. Was there a special reason behind it?
Shinde Sweety
Kurukshetra for Arjun was never a platform to show-off his array of missiles or awesome power.
In such a scenario, Arjun's first person narration would not brag about tactics, astras, or even triumphs. Definitely not with glee or bloodlust.
Hence I deliberately focused on his inward, reflective gaze rather than self-praise & self-congratulations. He speaks of his duels briefly and to the point, like a memory he wants to erase.
Hence the brief war sequences was keeping in sync with Arjun's character.
