Revathy, Hi!

What an interesting story. Indeed Manthara, Shakuni Mama and Ashwarhama, are some of the the forgotten, but crucial members of Mahabharata.

Told, as usual very well, with some deep insights. As Jawahara said, why not try and take the story further ..... ?

Thanks and take care

Sucheta

Hi Revathy,

Such exquisite detail...``the sharing of a rich inner emotional life between women`` (Adrienne Rich)...

Poile Sengupta had written a play a few years ago called So Spake Shurpankha Thus Spake Shakuni, tracing the perspectives, from a modern standpoint of these two ``minor`` characters in our epics..
