When you fell asleep in your mother's womb Abhimanyu*.....
did you know ?
did you ever thought ?
you've not learnt the art of saving yourself.
the art of a great warrior is to save one's own skin too.
life is a Chakrabyuha**.........
endless war with the mercyless killers..
killers of soul...killers of spirit...killer of human values.
Saptarathee*** killing the innocent child....
from seven sides......with a smile......in cool head.
heart cold like stone.
Only if you only never fell asleep Abhimanyu?
then what would have happened i wonder.
may be the Mahabharata would have been written...
differently.......
Saptarathees embraced lovingly....
Uttara's**** speechless cries ....changed into celebration...
and this old grey haired Earth smiled .....
*Abhimanyu=son of Arjuna
**chakrabyuha=a way of setting the soldiers in a war
***saptarathee=seven great warriors who killed Abhimanyu....incedentally they were his relatives and quite older to him
****Uttara=Abhimanyu's wife
it is said that Abhimanyu was in his mother womb when Arjuna was explaining the setting of Chakrabyuha but he fell asleep when Arjuna was teaching how to come out of it......so Abhimanyu never learnt that.
shree
