Epic Retold: The Mahabharata In Tweets - Plot & Excerpts
Gandhamadana suits Yudhistira the best. Surrounded by sages and pilgrims who hang on to his every word, he is in his element again. Even if Arjuna had not asked us to wait for him on this mountaintop, Yudhistira would only have been happy to camp here indefinitely. The storm that Ghatotkacha’s unexpected appearance had unleashed in my mind begins to calm as weeks pass by. In a way, the tranquillity of Gandhamadana is just what I needed. I keep myself busy. Rising at dawn, I swim in the ice-cold waters of the Bhagirati river before making my way downhill into the forest. I hunt small game. A darting rabbit is an excellent way to maintain my marksmanship with the bow. Better than any target practice. But mostly I hunt without weapons to maintain my speed and suppleness, the way Hidimbi taught me. It is only in the evenings that I see Draupadi, when she presides over the one meal we all have together. In the night, she is Yudhistira’s. As per my elder brother’s calculation, it is his turn now.
