Arjun  (English, Paperback, Sweety Shinde)

First of all congratulations to Dr. Shinde for breaking a popular tendency of modern authors- a tendency to vilify heroes and deify villains.Even if we agree(which I do) that all the characters of Mahabharat had some grey shades in them plenty of authors are hellbent to whitewash some particular characters with shades of grey bordering on black.
One thing I was thinking many times while & after reading the book is that Dr. Shinde has one skill that makes conversation part of a story enjoyable...

My Review:
For all the Mahabharata lovers- It's a book that you would cherish getting back to, each time. An enthralling read that will lead you to the wise insights of past, present and future.

The reader' s heart...
I apologize to the author for keeping the review copy for almost six long months. There are so many things I missed out and unfortunately this wonderful book too. Thank you so much Dr. Sweety for being kind and patient with me. Getting back to the review.

Arjun Without A Doub...

Actuallly,I was skeptical about reading epics, this is my 3 rd mythological novel and i had to say that i changed my opinion after reading this, mahabharatha was a magnaficent tale ,it puts forth every possible human predicament before our eyes, in the form of its characters and situations and tells us the correct way of dealing with them through the various Spiritual messages scattered all over it.. In This Book ARJUN -Without a doubt, author highlights mainly three important characters of m...

The author’s look at Arjuna holds deep intimacy, at Krishna holds a searching question mark and at Draupadi holds worship.

This is THE definitive voice of Arjuna, as he transforms from trusting innocence to assured confidence in his roller coaster life. The first person narration makes Arjuna’s ups & downs a personal experience for the reader. The man behind the warrior is discovered with fresh eyes as reader feels all Arjuna’s trials & trauma and gradually falls in love with him.

I had read very few mythological books most of Amish but this book "Arjun without a doubt" made me saying only one word "tremendous". The story revolves around Arjun and Draupadi and author was successfully pin pointed every tiny thoughts which would have ran through their minds. the presentation of characters is just amazing.
The most awesome thing in this book is it is written with both characters prospective i.e Arjun and Draupadi and the one-liners used in this book will hook every reader...

i always wondered what Arjun really felt when he was forced to share his prize with his brothers. the untold love story of Arjun and Draupadi. it is hinted that draupadi loved Arjun more then the other pandavas, a fact that even she denied, maybe for fear of hurting the other four.
Arjun has always been my favorite character after krishna in the Mahabharata. i have read the aryavarta chronicles where krishna and Draupadi are the central characters. but draupadi is not wife to all five panda...

This book is like a well-made saree. It goes in and out at all the right places. A diary, inside and exclusive version of Arjun and Draupadi from beginning to end of their relationship. Their friendship with Krishn and their hazy, on-the-horizon feelings for one another, too are tucked in, fall out and portray subtle and outspoken differences in their character and their personalities. An excellent piece of output. I recommend it to all. Rating: 4.5/5
