- I had accepted my fate! I had given up on it! Why did you have to come? Why, Shiva? Why?
- Destiny, perhaps… Sati.
- But it’s too late now. I have to go.
- I’ll wait.
- So will I. 🌸

मैं बहू गंगा की लहरों सा,
तू बनजा मेरा किनारा प्रिय।
लिखने अपने प्रेम की स्याही,
मैं सोख लू समंदर सारा प्रिय॥

- And you just departed? No goodbyes, no last talks, no warm hugs? Just a deep sense of withdrawal?
- Yeah! I had to, for my own sanity!
- You miss it?
- Yeah I do, for this transition has changed me upside down and I don’t have a freaking idea on how to get back to castles..
- Don’t worry! You’ll make a comeback, most iconic one!
- Sustaining with that flame of hope :)

रण भूमि है तैयार माँ,
खट्वांग उठा संहार करो।
धरती रख्तपलासिनी प्यासी है,
रख़्त की धारा बहा उद्धार करो॥

एक बंदा ख़त्म हो गया,
एक बंदे के इंतेज़ार में।
और वोह पूछते है,
आख़िर क्या है क़ैस के प्यार में॥

- Why this ending is so daunting? Why has it taken your smile? Why have you turned ice cold?
- For an era has ended within, for it had to be yet it didn’t, for it’s marking an exile to nowhere, for with it.. I am ending the love verse of my warrior soul!

-

मैं गंगा की धारा सा,
तू बनना मेरा नीर प्रिये।
मैं अल्हड़ बेचैन सा भटकता हूँ,
तू बँधाना मेरा धीर प्रिये॥

- What’s the one incident that shook you the most? Does it still haunt you or you are healed?
- A sudden death! No, I am still in the loop. She left yet she’s with me forever! Guarding me throughout..
- Who is she?
- Umm.. a person who single handedly played 3 roles in my life.
- Who? How?
- Maasi! For I was taught she’s my Naani in my childhood, For she has been my Maasi by birth, For she loved me like Maa and was guarding me like a lioness in my period of exile❤️

And once a broken soul said:
“उन्होंने केवल अब तक मेरा मौन देखा है,
मेरा शोर देखना अभी बाक़ी है।
अब तक तो केवल युद्ध की शंखनाद थी,
सुदर्शन का प्रलय लाना अभी बाक़ी है॥”

Abhimanyu asked Arjuna: Why didn’t you held your Gandiv earlier? You could have made the land red by now!
Arjuna replied: It was necessary, I was waiting for the right time!
Abhimanyu: What time?
Arjuna: Time by when Narayana, Mahadev and Shakti all unite and stood at our end to fight it on our behalf!
Abhimanyu: Did they come?
Arjuna: Yes, that’s how I again lifted my bow! I’m not sure if I’ll succeed in this battle, but my arrows will swing on the beats of Tandava!
