Sesha is a rare kind of author who ventured to publish his work at an age most writers might call a day. The task took him about five years to complete, post his retirement from a nationalized bank, though the idea for the story germinated and fermented in his brain a few years earlier. Epics, particularly Mahabharata, have always intrigued him since childhood, and they made him read those stories repeatedly. His desire to retell the story of Shri Krishna, the central character in the two great epics, in his own way led to his first book. His own way meant introducing fictional characters who were contemporaries of real characters, watching the key events unfold. The real characters also slightly deviate from their original sketch, within the liberty of literary imagination. This book is neither authentic mythology nor complete fiction and hence may be reckoned as mythological fiction. The author plans to release the next part shortly, not intending to leave the fictional characters midway.
Children, married and settled, he and his wife reside in Hyderabad and enjoy travelling and spending time with grandchildren Shrinika, Rishika, Rohit and Samyukta.

MOVES & COUNTERMOVES
Animish, the disciple teetering between scepticism and awe around Krishna’s divinity, inherits his Master’s mantle as the latter proceeds to Badari to pursue his self-realisation goals. Asareer's belief solidifies, and divine anecdotes about Krishna continue to enthral him. While the chasm between the viewpoints of both friends keeps widening, Krishna attains a God-like stature and comes to be feared by his opponents and revered by his devotees and sages alike.
Meanwhile, rivalries explode between cousins. Kauravas, led by the determined Duryodhana, manipulate the king to their advantage while Pandavas fight for survival. Draupadi's entrance, forging a solid alliance between Pandavas and the powerful Panchala kingdom, adds a new twist to the story.
And, through it all, the enigmatic Krishna emerges as the central figure, unfolding his own fascinating tryst with destiny.
The game of one-up-manship between Kauavas and Pandavas, which resembled the opening stage of a chess game to Animish during the graduation ceremony of princes, moves into the next stage, the middle game.
Kauravas and Pandavas were entangled in a prolonged fight over the chessboard of fate, with advantage shifting back and forth like in a bitter middle game of chess that does not produce a clear winner.
Find inside the dramatic events of Krishna’s battles with Jarasandha, the setting up of the Dwaraka kingdom, Draupadi’s Swayamvara and her unconventional polyandrous marriage, the rise and fall of Indraprastha Empire, multiple marriages and battles of Krishna, the fortune-turning dice game where a wife was put on stake, and a host of other exciting events.
Animish belongs to the ashram of a mysterious Master in the forest of Naimisha whose antecedents, ideologies, and even name are shrouded in secrecy. When he visits the city of Mathura, along with his friend Asareer, he hears a voice from the skies warning the antagonist, Kamsa, that his nemesis would be born to his dear sister Devaki who was just married to the Yadava prince, Vasudeva.

Animish belongs to the ashram of a mysterious Master in the forest of Naimisha whose antecedents, ideologies, and even name are shrouded in secrecy. When he visits the city of Mathura, along with his friend Asareer, he hears a voice from the skies warning the antagonist, Kamsa, that his nemesis would be born to his dear sister Devaki who was just married to the Yadava prince, Vasudeva. The mysterious voice claims itself as 'Akashvani', the celestial voice that can see the events of the past, the present, and the future. While everybody believes the foreboding, Animish is the only one to think he knows the truth. Set in the period B.K. 10, a decade before Krishna was born, this sets Animish in the lifelong quest of following Shri Krishna and the truth. The story of Animish runs parallel to the story of Shri Krishna and Pandavas and Kauravas.
