Upsanhar  (Hindi, Paperback, Singh Kashinath)

Another masterpiece by Kashinath Singh Ji. This book can be described as fiction on the basis of various version of Mahabharata. This book details the story of Lord Krishna post Mahabharata, his thoughts, the situation of Hastinapur and Dwaraka, destruction of his family and entire clan. His conversation with Balram is very interesting. Human side of a Lord has been shown; there is helplessness, dilemma, guilt etc. All that in the words of Kashinath Singh Ji. Every single page is interesting ...

When I started reading the book, I thought it would put light on After-Mahabharata era as well, but author has narrowed down his work till Krishna. There are a lot of things that you will come to know about Krishna. The end is surely far worse than you can think of. If you are a Krishna follower, then you won't be able to stop tears coming out from eyes. The author is not like those who beat around the bush, his writing is short, meaningful and always to the point.

Must have book for someone not knowing the story of Krishna post Mahabharat war. This book has reminded me of the phrase that if you live long enough to be a hero, you will turn into villain.
