"Chitra!!" A professor's voice boomed into an silent classroom made a young girl slightly jump on her place.

"Yes Sir?" The said girl, Chitra, asked.

"Who told the Holy Mahabharata to whom?" the black moustache an asked.

"Sage Vaishampayana, A disciple of Safe Ved Vyas, told Mahabharata to King Janamejaya, who is great grandfather of Third Pandava Prince Arjuna." Chitra said with a confident smile on her face.

the professor looked at her with his menacing eyes and then turned.

"You are right Chitra. sit down." the professor said and continued his boring lecture.

Chitralekha Point Of View__

Well, thank god that old hag decided to let me go! otherwise it won't take him much time to embarrass the shit out of me!

well, myself Chitralekha Yadav. I don't know why my parents named me that, Chitralekha means 'A beautiful Portrait'. I was born into Yadav Clan, and hence, people usually calls me Yadavi. I have other names also, I don't know why we Indians have a ritual of giving five names to a child. My mother, gave me the name Krishni, because according to her, my eyes are just like Lord Krishna, my brother. I have two more names, Dhairya, which means Patience, and Dhriti, which means courage.

since I was born into Yadav Clan, I have a very special connection with Lord Krishna and Balram, his elder brother in Dwapara Yuga and incarnation of Sheshanag. I love Mahabharata to core and especially Prince Arjuna, even though the handsome man of that time was Nakul, his younger brother. My parents died ten years ago, when I was 12, in a car crash and my relatives took the property illegally and sent me to Vrindavan. since then, I am living here.

"Earth to Chitra!?" Fiza, my best friend shook her hand frantically on my face.

"What is it!?" I asked irritated.

"Where you were lost?" She asked me.

"Nowhere." I said.

"Tomorrow is Bhai Dooj. what you will do?" Meera, my another friend asked.

"I will go to Krishna Temple. you know that." I said to her.

"Oh yeah..." She mumbled.

"It's getting late. You should head back to your home." I said turning to them as we came in parking.

"Yep. Take Care." Fiza hugged me.

"Same to you guys." I said to them as I released myself from their death grip hug.

I smiled as my two best friends went on their scooty bickering to each other and shook my head at their childishness.
