My Dream - Hope it comes true!

I am seated in comfortable chair, but waiting with anticipation for a person whom never in my life i thought i would meet."I hope he understood my mail. What do you think he would tell me to do? I hope he doesn't ask me to discard this idea. I have read so many things about him.... Hope he is really like that!! God..."  The door creaks.

"Hi.. Shruthi right!"
"Yes sir..."
"Sorry i got late.. I wanted Sudha to meet you as well.."
"Oh..No problem at all... Hi ma'am.. I have read so much about you both.. I never thought i would get this opportunity to meet both you. I still feel i am dreaming..."
"Oh.. com'on Shruthi... So tell me your plans.... I went though your mail completely... I liked the idea. "
"Actually, i have no much plans. I want to teach English for 6 months and as per my plan they wont be called beggars anymore"
"You have help..? Or all by yourself..?"
"I have few friends and some help from Youth For Seva.."
"Nice.. Interesting.. very strange too.."
"For a clear picture, I have prepared a small presentation ..... "
They both look at each other...
"You can go ahead.."
I was beaming plus nervous. There was some strong gut feeling, I couldnt believe I was doing this.. and had paid no attention to all the This-wont-work-out, You-will-suffer, You-will-become-a-laughing-stock,Come-back-to-senses....

I went on...

Truth behind "Shakuni"

Since a child i was fascinated by mythology, and who else but my grandma {dad's mom} would tell me all the stories from the past. I used to love watching those black n white mythological movies with her.
Taking 20 mins time from my Haskell assignment :) here i go with one of the stories she had told me.

We all know about Shakuni - symbol for wickedness/slyness. He was known to be cunning and had one thing always in his mind - "Downfall of Krishna".A person who is so smart and intelligent must have had some reason to hate Krishna. This story is all about that. Hope its a good read for you guys!

Dhritharashtra was a wise but a blind king and Ghandhari was his loyal wife who had blindfolded her eyes intentionally. She chose not to see a world which her husband could not see. Ghandhari's astrological signs showed that her first husband would be on his death bed soon and so they got her married to a goat and then they killed the goat. This was a secret known to the Ghandhara family{100 sons + 1 daughter}, to which she belonged to before marriage. A few years laters Dhritharashtra got to know about this and he imprisoned the entire Ghandhara family and the king Subala and his 100 sons and treated them very badly.

Every day only one a handful of rice was given to each of them to eat. As days passed one by one started to die of hunger. King Subala realized that this was not how their dynasty was going to end. By now the amount of anger on Dhritharashtra had quadrupled and so he came up with this plan of every one in prison sacrificing their food and handing it over to one person and make that person strong and be responsible for the downfall of Dhritharashtra . The youngest and wittiest son was Shakuni and everyday all would offer their food to him. He could not bear the sight of his father and brothers dying of hunger everyday.

When Subala realized he had no more energy to survive, he called Dhritharashtra and requested him to be considerate on this poor kid and allow him to be free and also promised that he will always be like a guardian to his sons. (Meanwhile Dhritharashtra had 100 sons and a daughter.) He finally pitied his father-in-law and agreed to this. Subala contented with his reply breathed his last. But before dying he told Shakuni to make use of his thigh/back bone and create a powerful magic dice which spins the requested number. He wanted this to be the reason for the downfall of Dhritharashtra and his dynasty.

Shakuni as promised, was the guardian of the 100 Kaurava sons and being with them he gained their confidence and instilled all wicked thoughts into everyone. He was the responsible for the Kurukshetra war, which he did by provoking Dhuryodhana against the Pandavas which led to the victory of latter thus fulfilling his fathers wish.
