And I me...That's a big encouragement Book Worm! And I mean it... thanks :)<br /><br />It seems u mistook Bheeshma as Bheema, although yes righlty said, Bheema too fits the bill. His love for draupadi and his silence also raises many questions. But having another wife, Hidimba, should not affect his love for her first wife... i think men are good at it!! Will have to read the other book u gave me to understand Bheema's perspective.<br /><br />Thanks Book Worm for sharing this and many more books with me. U introduced me to the world of books... and i strive to become a better reader now :)<br /><br />thanks again!RESTLESShttp://myworldmyperception.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-21414705367348496642012-03-19T18:48:45.254+05:302012-03-19T18:48:45.254+05:30Book Worm Says :Welcome Back.. and a big thumbs up...Book Worm Says :Welcome Back.. and a big thumbs up for this piece of writing.. beautifully written.. and felt as if you were not at all away from writing and was writing for ages.. not at all rusty... the highlight of the post is the para about Bheema..and the question as to why Bheema was silent.. yes. it did make us ponder.. may be.. soon you'll find out why..

I know....Tks Vivek... glad that u dropped in here.<br /><br />I know... it had been disturbing for all...<br /><br />hmm.. nothing much changed...<br /><br />By the way, it was mentioned in the book that after Pandavas decided to retire and the reign was handed over to Parikshit (Abhimanyu and Uttara's son)... it was predicted that afterwards the safety of women in general would not be there.... women won't be safe in public... as a different era is going to begin (Kalyug I think)RESTLESShttp://myworldmyperception.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-27994274201404698032012-03-18T23:56:18.782+05:302012-03-18T23:56:18.782+05:30Vivek says:

If so, when were those written? Who were the authors? I think it is a matter of belief which has been inculcated in us from generation to generation. And I too live with that belief. I do believe in God and do worship imagining God in various forms as told to us. But at the same time I truly believe that God is ONE and it is we who have given different names or forms for God. I have not read the book you cited but do feel that she has presented the epic with a different approach. Now coming to women, I sincerely think that instead of just lip service we need to do something concrete for equal rights for them.<br /><br />Take care Jacknoreply@blogger.com
