This story always perplexed me. It seemed like a foolish choice. Over and over again this happens with the Pandava - they make a surprising choice that seems to shoot down any chance they have. And yet, they have Dharma on their side and this undying trust in their choices. This is what inspires me. Act. Choose. Fight. Do something and commit fully. Thank you for this story. Hoping you take up the gambling story because that one really gets me.
Beautifully written Jayshree and so relatable coming from Indian roots. You ROCK!
Thank you, Anshul, for the gracious feedback.
Jayshree, another of your beautiful tales, of honour versus pride. Thank you for bringing so much joy 💙🙏💫
