3 curses of Karna..!!

 I have always liked Karna's character the most. Great disciple, Skilled archer, most reliable friend. What more..!! But yet, I pity him too. Firstly his mother abandoned him for a mistake committed by her. Secondly for being rejected by Draupadi during her swayamvar saying that, she didn't want to marry a charioteer's son. Thirdly his fate. Still, he faced all with dignity and won the admiration of many but for these 3 curses which led to his downfall in the battle field of Kurukshetra.

One

Karna admired Dhrona and asked his permission to make him his disciple. But Dhrona refused, giving caste as the reason. He then approached Parashuram, the guru of great sages like Dhrona himself and Bhishm. Parashuram accepted him inspite of his low status. Karna was a great disciple and was mastering the skills of archery when Indra realised that these skills might hinder the progress of his son Arjuna. One day while the sage was resting on Karna's lap, Indra took the form of a bee and stung karna. He bored into his knee deeper and deeper. He tried his best to withstand the pain so that his guru wouldn't be disturbed. When the sage woke up he was astonished to see blood flowing and cursed  him saying "Such tolerance is present only in a true Kshatriya. You have lied to me to learn archery from me. May you forget the holy incantation's when you need to use them. "

 Two

While Karna was traveling on a chariot, he sees a lion near a calf in the fence of a house  Fearing that lion might eat the calf, he aims and kills the lion. This was another wicked trick of Indra who made the mother cow look like a lion to put Karna into trouble. The owner of the cow, a brahmin curses Karna "This cow was every thing to me and my family and you have made me helpless now.  In the very same way, you will be killed when you are defenseless."

 Three

Once Karna's horses make a loud noise and small girl holding ghee in a vessel spills it out of fear. He offers to buy her new ghee but the little girl is stubborn and wants the same old ghee which is now mixed with mud/earth. He however takes a fistful of earth and squeezes it till he gets some ghee out of it. Mother Earth unable to bear the pain, punishes him saying "For a little girl, you have caused so much pain to me. When you are about to kill your enemy your chariot will sink into earth".

Thus bound by these curses he was killed by Arjuna, but still remains one of the most celebrated persons of Hindu mythology.

♥ LOVE ♥

I learnt that, love reveals itself
In so many wonderful ways..
Sometimes in a tight hug or a kiss
Or even as simple as a smile, many days!

Those well crafted eyes of thou
give me a life-time full of love..
Those warm muscular arms of yours
Are an enormous cave of comfort, i really donno how!

In everything I do, you have always been a part,
which leaves a loving thought of you always in my heart..
I really am glad you chose me from all the rest
Me?? I know long back, I have got The Best! :P

Finally,
I love you dear, no matter what
Even though U've been the same sweetheart since the start..

I love you....
Not for trying to bring out the best in me
not even for the love u've given me
But for the enormous amount of love U've awakened in me!!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!!

@MM :
You better like this small poem written to thee :P
For the life-long promise u've made to grow old with me! ♥ u!

Devastated!!

"Can i see you shaving your beard today??" Neena had asked in the morning. He remembered these words while he was washing his hands after lunch at office. He chuckled to himself. For his serious, grave persona, Neena was such a relaxation. He could never know how she could have so many thoughts at once. He returned to his cubicle and on the way he grabbed a cappuccino. He sat and smiled again..!! Now he remembered, how his lady love had cream on the tip of her nose, trying to make a heart shape by blowing air over his coffee two days before. He was missing her now. He called home.

"Hello Neena"

"Neena isn't at home Beta. She has gone out with Ruchi."

"They both have no better work is it?"

"You want me to tell her anythin?"

"Nahi, had to ask somethin.. so called.."

He had seen and heard of so many girls go crazy over sandals, clothes, hair, make-up stuff... but he was blessed with a wife who was crazy about antics. Now, after 8 months of marriage he wished she were normal. He was tired of taking her to museums and historical places. Even on their honeymoon, she had dragged him into a nearby house where the interiors were decorated with elephant's tusk and sandalwood statues with embroidered silk cloth on them. He knew where exactly she was now, he remembered her talking about some street play, enacted by great artists {whom only she knew}to revive the lost Culture & Tradition in India.

He decided to surprise her. It was 5pm when he left the office. He made his way through the traffic which seemed unusually high today. He took a left when a cop stopped him "Sorry Saab, Tagore Mahal  caught fire and no vehicles are allowed inside." "Waaat? How..??" "One of the performers, blew fire in an act and the nearby curtains caught fire." He was panicking. What should he do now. "What about the people there?" "They are being rescued Saab, but few are injured and 2 are dead. A women tried to save a kid and she was struck inside." He so wished its not Neena. He held the cops collar tight "I want to see my wife right now. I want to go in. I know she is safe but I WANT TO SEE HER!" he yelled. Even before the cop coud stop him he ran towards the building. He cried for the first time. His eyes were looking out everywhere for a short, fair, long haired angel.

He returned home stressed out, crying. He couldn't imagine a world without her now. She was everything to him. He fell in front of Neena's photograph...

"I will return from work early.... Please come back!!"

"I will help with cooking... Please come back!!"

"I will respond to every word you say.. please come back...!!" he cried

"I will change.. I will talk more.. Tell everything to you... love you like how you want me to.. Our house will be painted pink only.. We will have two kids only.. You can even manicure and pedicure my arms and legs... Neena.... Please come back......"

"Raj..." she says. The joy of his life had returned!!
