dear readers,

reading above article i remembered a quote from a english movie, Dark Knight. “You Either Die a Hero, or Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become the Villain”. so if the old does not make for the new this is what happens.

Just wanted to share it with you ppl.

We can speculate….and that would be anyone’s guess…..but since Bhisma refuses to retire, it goes against asharma-dharma, which makes him adharmi.

Doctor, it may please you to know that not all Indian families shun parts of their culture. I am fortunate enough to say that my family, both maternal and paternal always clarified the questions we asked of them. As a child, no more than 10 years old, I asked my grandparents (after an interesting read of the ACK version of the Mahabharata) as to why Shikhandi was described as both man and woman. They answered explaining the detailed story, including the Yaksha part. They taught me to consider these examples of people not as men or women, but just as humans, who feel, who live just as we do. I am fortunate enough to say that I have grown up an open-minded person, and for that very reason I resent that Krishna labeled Bheeshm as “adharmi”. Had Krishna been in Devavrath’s place what would he have done in those situations?
