Musings of a Pioneer: A Scintillating Night with Shatrujeet Nath

It could be a uncommon Indian who would say that they haven’t heard of Ramayana, an epic from Indian mythology, a story of the lifetime of Lord Rama, an epitome of the proper man. There are a number of different characters within the story, however those who stay with you’ll largely be Sita, Lakshmana, Hanuman, and Ravana.

However this was not sufficient for Shatrujeet. He has at all times been intrigued by the in-between tales from mythology – tales about which individuals have no idea a lot. Thus was born the thought of a narrative about Bharata, Rama’s youthful brother. Ramayana wouldn’t even have existed if Bharata was not there – in any case, your entire drama performed out due to the ambition of Kaikeyee to see her son on the throne of Ayodhya. He was only a 23-year-old child, who one morning discovered himself changing into an unwilling king of a kingdom in vacuum with two robust individuals gone – Dasharatha and Rama. A kingdom isn’t just the king, the queen, the princes, and the palace. There needs to be a robust ecosystem – widespread folks, soldier, secure hand, investigator, and plenty of extra.

Thus was born the e-book Warlord of Ayodhya – a e-book overlaying the lifetime of Bharat within the intervening 14 years of Rama’s exile, and the happenings within the kingdom of Ayodhya, as seen by folks of the dominion. It’s a canvas created out of the folks of the town other than the palace, the king, and the queen. Since a single e-book couldn’t cowl a span of 14 years, it needed to be a trilogy. The primary e-book is Revolt, which covers the primary three years of Rama’s exile.

Shatrujeet interacted just about with members of My Secret Bookshelf this Sunday night, 24^th April. And what an thrilling night it was! He loves to write down mythological fiction, which he feels is related even to the youthful technology – in any case mythology is the earliest type of storytelling – the writer solely has to make sure that tales need to be informed in a way that they turn out to be related to the reader. If he was to think about himself as a mythological character, he would in all probability be Narada, a storyteller from our mythology.

However who would he actually wish to be? Will probably be Ghatotkacha, a outstanding and engaging character from Mahabharat. Deaths of each Abhimanyu and Ghatotkacha had been engineered by that grasp strategist – Krishna. But, it’s Abhimanyu’s loss of life that we all know extra about. Ghatotkacha went into the battle understanding full effectively that he was going to die because of the Vajra. It was a sacrifice – not celebrated as a lot that of Abhimanyu.

Shatrujeet is at the moment engaged on E book 2 of the Warlord trilogy, which is predicted to come back out round mid 2023. However possibly someday – he’ll write a narrative about Shakuni, and his vengeance on the Kurus, for the wedding of his sister Gandhari to a blind man. After which in all probability a criminal offense sequence with a cop because the central character, set towards the backdrop of God’s personal nation – Kerala.

It was certainly a scintillating night with Shatrujeet.
