Dear Jeyamohan
This episode is so unique that the
women princesses and queens from the various kingdoms married into the Kauravas
and the Pandavas clan reveal their inner thoughts, aspirations and unique
personality that were either molded by their mother and maids or born with. For
example, I would have never known about Balanthirai or Supriyai without your
writing. The vengeance of Kasi Princess continues thru Balanthirai
even though her upbringing and the reason she supports the war are different
than that of Ambaji.
Amazing emotions expressed by Supriyai
when she tries to break that invisible cocoon of haughtiness and rejoice
about her journey to Hastinapura. When she got married to Karna and showed
her meanness and tried to belittle him, it looked like she does not have a good
side. But, on reading about her passion to travel and some inner emotions even
her haughtiness and meanness vanishes to portray a woman with a child’s heart
who loves to travel emerges. Just like all the characters in Venn Murasu it is
difficult to fully hate someone. That is the magic of your keen
observation of humanity and an unimaginable creativity that bring these
characters to live. Thank you so much for that.
The elaborate ceremonies at the Varahi
Temple and the Kali Dev temple are quite interesting and takes one to the
ancient World of scary rituals. Also, it is very poignant to read about
the brahmin family in Utkala (Orissa) whose eldest son was selected to follow
the Atharva Veda due to poverty. Felt very sad to read about the
children dying without food, a Mother’s sadness and unable to save her
children, a good father who has no other choice but to follow his “Dharma”, an
obedient son and student whose emotions are so well portrayed before and after
the “Purushamedha” selection process.
The “Charal” is slowly moving towards a
devastating big tornado. Waiting to read. Thank you.
Warm regards
