A Story Lost In Time
Vasusena was feeling irritable and moody. He was not a prisoner, but he felt like one. Neither his father nor his brothers told him anything about the war or its progress. “Want to play a game of dice?” Asked Dharma. “It might calm your nerves.” “I thought playing dice was a sin,” he muttered as … More What if…..

“You’re not being fair,” Krishna pointed out. Suryadeva scowled, but made no answer. “You have to bring him back,” pressed Krishna again. “I don’t trust this peace,” muttered the Deva.

He had sat in his tent trying to make sense of all that happened. It seemed grossly unfair. “Yes,” Krishna’s grip on his shoulder was … More What if…. Chapter Eleven
Krishna looked up as the two men entered unannounced. He was not surprised. He had, in fact, left very specific instructions that these two ought to be brought to him anytime they came. But his companions were not so happy to see them. Yudhistira and Arjuna strove to maintain a neutral facade. Bheema, Nakula and … More What if…. Chapter Ten
