Keerthik Sasidharan's 'The Dharma Forest "

Mahabharata is a wellspring of stories,which is something we already know.The Dharma forest is another retelling of the epic.
This is supposed to be the first part of a trilogy and I love trilogies.
Keerthik’s language is very polished and he gives us much to ponder about.He has taken Bhishma ,Draupadi and Arjuna as the main characters here .The story evolves through them.The story is non-linear.He begins the story bang in the middle of the Kurukshetra war and travels back and forth through time.
Keerthik knows how to create atmosphere and he really digs deep into that primal world of savagery and passions.
I really loved the portions about Draupadi and Arjuna .Her polyandry is discussed in detail and her special consideration for Arjuna has also been given much thought and space.
Keerthik knows how to write erotica and he suffuses the text with sophisticated sexual imagery wherever he feels like.
I liked the stuff but not exactly loved it.It lacks an emotional connect but that doesn’t make it a bad work of art.In fact it is highly structured and meticulous but not heart-tending.
Read it if you want to see Mahabharata with a fresh set of eyes.Well,who doesn’t want to, aye?

like jack of all trades ,master of none - Droupadi ,thou expected to be protected by the mighty Panchapandavas ....had to cry out for Lord Krishna " its sometimes our strong beliefs that gives us strenghth to overcome certain situations - the trust on Lord Krishna to save her when her own beloved n family where just witnessing a public harassment and made her a business asset ."
Envy Draupadi's trust in Lord Krishna💖
