The Illusion

Books have an impact on us all the time . They are our best frens and the most dominating influence. That's why its essential to pick up a book carefully and wisely .
I am reading one such dominating book right now and see it is making me write about it too !!!
The books called 'palace of illusion' .. panchali's depiction of mahabharta . sounds heavy ? But trust me its not! So this is how it goes when i sit and connect me with this book .

The 1st acting experience I had was with the role of dropadi . It was a piece from mahabharta where she is selecting her groom through a swayamwar .The entire role for me was cherishable . Being the central character and having so many men fight for me was funny THEN .

Today when I understand dropadi coz of this book . I see myself getting connected to her with every page , every word , every letter . She always wanted to be different so did i . The event that was funny for me then is the exact juncture I am in my real life rt now . Even 2day i hv men fighting for me and i hv in my heart an illusion of wat i want and who i want. Why i call it an illusion is coz that frame , that , structure keeps changing all the time. The confusion in her head is wat I hv in my mind . She is now my soul sister .

the palace of illusion she dwelt in ,was her hideout , a place which she connected with . The best part of the book is her relation with krishna .. I envy her for having him ; who was always there whn she thought of him . It makes me wonder that how easy it was for her to share her feelings , come out of that clutter of thoughts , which still chokes me time and again .

Panchali's life went through all phases from beng a princes , queen , maid and a queen again but all the highs and lows taught her a new lesson for life . How do i relate in here ? I sure do .. Well i have never been a maid neither have i been a queen but me, with all hearts accepted every moment the way it came and so far hv lived pretty well through it .

The adaptability, the royalties , the passion she had in her is wat I feel in me . She believed that she was born for a reason , reason to change the world ..

So with all the similarities, is my destiny pointing something to me .. will i ever change the world?? or will there be just one more mahabharat ????
