Pangs of Guilt

Author Name: Leena G. S. | Format: Paperback | Genre : Literature & Fiction | Other Details

The Mahabharatha is a treasure trove of memorable stories and amazing characters. It is basically about the good triumphing over the bad.

It showcases the life and struggles of the Pandava brothers (the good) and their struggles to overcome the many challenges posed by their greedy cousins, the Kauravas (the bad). Besides the two groups, all the characters have shades of grey which humanizes them.

In the Mahabharatha, Bheema, the mighty Pandava, is depicted as a great warrior, an obedient son and a loving brother.  He is the one responsible for the decimation of all the Kauravas in the final war.

But how many of us know about Bheema’s personal life and his family? This figment of imagination offers a chance to delve into the unexplored aspects of this great warrior – up close and personal.  It also tries to do justice to some of the lesser known yet extremely important characters of the Mahabharatha.

The inspiration behind this story is the Malayalam novel “Randaamoozham” written by Sri. M. T. Vasudevan Nair (The English translated version is titled - The Lone Warrior). It is an exceptional and unique take on the Mahabharatha, written from the viewpoint of Bheema. It served as a stimulant for the author to write this piece.

Leena G. S.

The author, Leena is an avid reader who was introduced to stories and story books at a very young age by her late father Sidharthan. The biggest impact was the way he created a world for her by reciting these stories in an imaginative manner. 

Being a Librarian, her profession moved her closer to the world of literature and inspired her to write. An avid blogger and sports enthusiast, this is her first, formal attempt at writing.

She considers the Mahabharatha to be a book of life which is timeless. It is an epic that interprets every facet of life and human nature.

While she admires the various characters of Mahabharatha, Bheema has always been her favourite.  She has attempted to create an intense little story, built around some of the lesser known characters of the Mahabharatha, with Bheema as the protagonist.
