Dear Jeyamohan
In today's chapter 23, you have taken Veyyon's balanced emotional intelligence to new heights.
I
really liked when he said to the distraught Supriyai that "this is the
Kshatriyas way accept it or if you wish to jump into the Ganges do
it"!.
When Bhishma took Ambai against her
wish, I felt immensely sad for Ambai. Interestingly, in
Veyyon's somewhat similar scenario even though I understood Supriyai's
emotions I was more sympathetic for Veyyon! Perhaps because of the
insults she hurled at him. Also, a valiant good hearted warrior who has
to face insults because of the injustice received from his Mother. I
wonder!
As always, you have described
the different landscapes for Anga & Kalinga. The description of the
fortress built with mud and thorny bushes, the villages, the war, the
description of the horses and their behavior are visual art in words.
Thank you.
Warm regards
