Subhadra insist Duryodhana to abduct her...

Episode#23

Balarama was happy to hear about the Subhadra and Duryodhana alliance but did not offer any commitment to Duryodhana!On the contrary, he asked Duryodhana to wait for some time until he obtained the consent from his family before finalizing the proposal, Duryodhana stayed overnight at Balarama place; he was eager to meet Subhadra but there was not the remotest opportunity to do so, the only option for him was to wait until dawn.

Subhadra did not sleep a wink the whole night, at the crack of the dawn, wrapped in a sari and towel thrown covering her shoulders, she walked towards Yamuna river, keeping the towel on nearby stone, she walked in the river and after a few dips, she came out drenched and lay down on her back her eyes closed and her legs playing in the river water.

Duryodhana sat on the stone and stared at her beautiful face with her wet hair scattered all over, he bent down to put his lips on her, but she opened her eyes and said "As per the custom of the Yadavas, you cannot touch a girl unless you marry her" Duryodhana nodded with smile and replied, "Today I have revealed my wish to Guru Balarama and I am sure he will agree!" Subhadra wrapping herself looked at Duryodhana and said "Have you ever thought about Krishna?" Duryodhana stood dumbfounded and totally speechless! Seeing his helplessness, she placed her head on his shoulder and said with great sobbing "If you really love me than abduct me, that is only way out and I think that is my destiny." She looked at him with tearful eyes and walked away...

Duryodhana pondered - he stood on emotional crossroads, by kidnapping her, he would not succeed in crossing Mathura city and even if he did, it would be no less than declaring war with Yaduvansh, which he dared not since he was aware of the strength of Narayani Sena which was much powerful than his own, besides, he would also invite the wrath of Vasudev Krishna by doing this outrageous act.

Next morning, Duryodhana started for Hastinapur and Vasudev Krishna started for Mathura simultaneously to dissuade his brother Balarama from committing the alliance of Subhadra with Duryodhana... what a coincidence indeed.

Mahabharata war - Day 9

Episode#63 On the Ninth day, before the battle began, Duryodhana was closeted with Bhisma Pitamah. He gave vent to his feelings of disappointment over the inconclusive manner in which the battle proceeded. His words were no less than piercing spears and pained Bhisma greatly but known for his equanimity, the latter was patient and said "Like ghee on the sacrificial fire I am pouring my life out for you. Why do you seek to mortify me, who has been doing the very utmost for you? You speak like a man of no understanding, not knowing what is right and what is wrong. You see things not in their original state - your vision is clouded...! You are now reaping the harvest of hatred you deliberately sowed. The only course left is to battle in the best possible way, by losing heart nothing is accomplished! Fight now as a Kshatriya should and the honour will be yours whatever the consequences!" Thus cheering Duryodhana and boosting his confidence with wise and affectionate words, Bhism...

Mahabharata war - Day 15 Fall of Acharya Drona.

Episode#69 On the fifteenth day, the war did not cease even after the sunset but continued as mentioned before in Torchlight. The Kurukshetra field presented strange sight with burning torches - the generals and soldiers on both the sides we're engaged in battle, thousands of torches burnt and were used as signals, devised for night time. Ghatotkacha and his troops of demons (who are stronger at night) found darkness an additional advantage and violently attacked Duryodhana army. Duryodhana heart sank when he saw thousands of his men destroyed by Ghatotkacha and his demon army moving in the air and attacking in strange and unexpected ways. The warriors begged to Karna "Kill this fellow at once, Karna, for otherwise, soon our whole army will cease to be. Finish him without delay!" Karna himself was angry and bewildered, having been wounded by one of the Asura arrows. He had with him the spear which Indra had bestowed to him, but as warned, it could be used only once, and...
