What Duryodhana thinks seeing Abhimanyu...

Episode#53

Standing on his chariot, Duryodhana cited the young prince Abhimanyu (son of Subhadra and Arjuna) and remembered fondly the memories of his first adolescent love with Subhadra!

It was due to Vasudev Krishna that instead of marrying him, she married to his enemy Arjuna! Duryodhana remembered Subhadra had come to meet him near the lake last night; she was looking very pretty and beautiful, she requested him not to kill her son Abhimanyu but without replying or offering any kind of commitment, he had left abruptly.

Today, he stood on the battlefield he thought he does not have any animosity against the young kid, why would he kill him? But if at all he gets killed in this war,
will he be able to see Subhadra crying over her son's dead body? Duryodhana was in no mood to fight this war but now he had no choice! Was there not a single soul who could avert this war?

Duryodhana - a trifle reluctantly blew the conch-shell loudly followed by Pitamah thunderous voice "ATTACK" posing as the curtain raiser for the Great Mahabharata War!

Bhima, who heard this, came near and said "Mother, I did this in self-defence, whether is was right or wrong, you should bear with me. Your son was invincible in combat a d I had to resort to self-defence what was undoubtedly wrong,  but then ...
