Ehsaas Kuch Naya Sa (Part-10)

 Akshay being upset with his friends was moving alone in the fair...and was murmuring...in mind as if questioning himself...

Akshay : humme sab balok kehke parihas q karte hai???aur vo aisa kaunsi vastu hai jo hamein gyat nhi hai jiske karan main apne hi mitron k sammukh uphas ka patra banein reh jata hun...main chaturdas varsh ka ho chuka hun aur sab mujhse ek shishu k vati acharan q karte hai??

he was walking unmindfully...so he didn't see what was happening in front of him..only became concious after his feet touched something unusual...he looked at that thing and got shocked ..because it was not any unconscious thing on his feet but was a small crying girl...

the girl was not more than 8 years old..and dressed like a slave ..she was taking deep breath and looking back again and again as if someone is chasing her ...Akshay became dumb for a while but he could understand that the girl is frightened and she must be any danger...Akshay looks around and sees everyone is busy and none is watching them...he quickly helped the girl to stand up...

Akshay : balikey kaun ho tum .kya tumhe kisine tumhara tiraskar kiya hai??tum itna ro q rahe ho balikye??

the girl looked at Akshay but didn't answer rather continued crying...Akshay felt helpless but didn't loose hope..for the first time he has got opportunity to show elderly responsibility...

Akshay : are balikey shant ho jao...yadi tum tumhari samasya kahogi nhi to hum tumhare sahayata kaise kar payenge...

and suddenly the girl looked back and got frightened and hided behind Akshay ...Akshay looked forward and saw two middle aged men are running towards them...the two mans were looking too powerful...and they were coming to their direction...those men were dressed as if bodyguards of any rich man...one of the man got to see the girl and came towards them

Bodyguard : aye ladki bhag kar yahan a gayi..chupchap chal nhi to ghasitte hue le jayenge...

Akshay saw the girl is shivering out of fear...the other bodyguard looked towards Akshay..

Bodyguard2 : aye ladke tu khada khada kya dekh raha hai..chal bhag yahanse nhi to tere ye bade bade do ankhein hai na vo nikal lenge...

Akshay understood that he can't fight alone with these two powerful men..nor can help the girl ..suddenly some trick taught in gurukul struck his brain

Akshay (screaming) : yuvraj ki jai ho..yuvraj ki jai ho...

and for a moment those guards became unmindful and Akshay lifted two handfuls of soils and throw on their eyes and without wasting time started running holding the girl's hand..the guards also followed them ..the fair was quite far from the place ..so there was not much people to watch them.

Akshay (in mind) : hey iswar is samashya se udhar kaise paya jaye??is choti si bachhi ko bhi to nhi chor sakta...hey iswar sahayata karo...

.the guards might caught them unless Akshay could hear his name somewhere

Akshay : ishwar ko dhanyabad hum banch gaye (to the girl) ..balikey daro mat..vo dekho hamare mitro hamare sahayata k liye pohuch gaye...

and then Aditya,Sukant,Airavat,Shashank and Ghanghor entered...

Sukant : are Akshay tum yahan ho??aur hum tumhe kahan kahan dhund rahe hai Chandu to chintit ho gaye...

Airavat : are ye choti si kanya kaun hai???

Akshay : are ye sab baad mein puchna pehle in yamduton se to hamara picha churwao...

Shashank : yamdut kaan??

and then those guards reach there...

guards : dust balak tune hamare ankhon mein dhul jhokne k himmat kaise kiya ..tujhe abhi iska dand milega .

Aditya : to yahi hai vo yamdut...to ye yahan kya kar rahe hai..inka sthan to yampuri hai...

Guards : kya itna bada duhsahas...aj tum sab log maroge

and they attacked the boys ..and boys were prepared for that...and in few minutes..those two guards were seen to run away with heavy injuries...

the boys started laughing and then Chandragupt and Dakshita came there finding the friends...and got surprised to find them including Akshay are laughing loudly..

Durdhara : ye dekho..hum yahan unmadon k tarah sabko dhund rahe hai aur sab hasya parihas mein vyast hai..aur dekho ye balak Akshay bhi yehin hai...aur tum itna chintint ho rahe ho iske liye

Chandragupt (impatiently) koi hamein bhi kehne k kasht karega k yahan hua kya hai??

the girl who was crying till now with Chandu's voice turned back and stopped crying ..and rolled her eyes with disbelief and then ran and hugged him screaming  chandu bhaiyaaa...

none was prepared for that situation nor even Chandragupt..so everyone stopped 4 a while...and then Chandragupt looked at the girl...and as if from his inner soul words came out..Maya behna tu jeevit hai...

the girl was Chandragupt's cousin..while living in pippalivan chandragupt's maternal uncle married a vanvasi girl like some other disguised kshatriya...Maya was his only child...she lost her mother during birth..so Moora raised her with Chandu...and when Dhananand fired pippalivan then Chandragupt's mama died and maya was missing..he thought she also died in that fire ..but after 3 years he got back his sister...

In The Palace

Durdhara is being prepared for the fair..and Kalyani came to meet her...though while changing none is allowed to enter without permission except Subhadra but Kalyani in this meanwhile became very close friend of Durdhara..so she was allowed to enter...

Kalyani : are Durdhara tum akelehi tayar ho rahe ho??Subhadra aur Dakshita kahan hai??aur baki dasiya??

Durdhara : sab hi utsav mein ansh lene gaye hai...parantu tum kyun nhi gaye??

Kalyani : vo maine shubah hi baht kuch dekh liye the .isi karan abhi man nhi ho raha hai..aur phir sandhya kal mein nritya geet pratiyogita mein bhi bhag lena hai..

Durdhara : han tumhare nritya ki prashansha to magadh se kamboj tak bistrit hai...

Kalyani : han jaise tumhari chitrakala ki ..parantu tum aise kaise prastut ho rahe ho?? aur tum aswasth bodh kar rahe the to tumhara prasad se bahar jana uchit hoga??maharani to keh rahe the k aj aap prasad se bahar nahin jayenge...

Durdhara : hum jante hai Kalyani..hum shrant the aswastha nhi...aur hamein bhi to prasad k bahar jane k man hota hai...bahar pure rajdhani utsav mana rahe hai hamare bhrata k yuvraj banne ki khushi mein..aur hum mahal mein bandi rahein?/..kadapi nahin...

Kalyani : isi karan ye chadmavesh...

Durdhara : aur koi upay hi to nhi hai panchnad kumari...parantu kya tum ek upkar karogi mujhpar...

Kalyani : kambojkumari..saheliyon se upkar nhi mangte ..adhikar jataya jate hai..kaho tumhare liye kya kar sakti hun main...

Durdhara : tum ye baat kisise nhi kahogi...

Kalyani : ye bhi koi puchne ki bat hai..aur kuch

Durdhara : han mere wapas ane tak yahin rehna take koi aye to unhe lage k Durdhara kaksha mein hi hai...

Kalyani : acha thik hai rajkumari..aapke agya sirodharya...

Durdhara : bas bas ab parihas mat karo..
and she hugged Kalyani and exited by a secret door  only Subhadra and Dhara knew of which...

Ehsaas Kuch Naya Sa (Part-9)

Royal Palace

..in the very morning of Abhisheka...all the maids and servants of palace started decorating Royal Palace with flowers...all the citizens of Rajpur started coming to the Palace to join the Janamtithi and yuvrajyabhishek utsav of Prince Digvijay...in the temple inside the palace priests had started chanting slokas..and offering flowers and other ingredients to the god of fire...in prince's own mahal Chandragupt and his friends are helping Digvijay to get ready..they bathed him with milk and flowery water and then with sandal paste they painted his forehead...and then made him dressed in complete royal attire and jeweleries...and then Digvijay from his mahal went to the palace temple through the arch covered with flower petals...the crowed started shoting

...jai Kamboj rajkumar Digvijay ki jai...jai Kamboj k honewale yuvraj ki jai...

Chandragupt and his friends also proudly accompanied with the shout...and Chandragupt was most louder among all the boys...Digvijay was enjoying all the events...he keeps his hand on Chandragupt's shoulder..

Digvijay : bas karo Chandragupt...hum yuvraj banne ja rahe hai..bharat samrat nhi..tum sabki jai jai kar hamein ahamkari bana dega...

Chandragupt : mitra ahamkar to humein hona chahiye k hum tumhare mitra hai..aur hamein purn adhikar hai tumhara jai jaikar karne ka...param mitra k yuvraj banne ka anand k tulna mein to sampurn prithiv k samrat banne wale ka anand bhi tuchha hai

Digvijay : tumse tark karna to nirarthak hai...parantu hum itna keh sakte hai k aj isi kshan mein upasthit sabhi jano mein hum sabse adhik garv mehsus kar rahe hain k tum hamare mitra ho...aur us din hum is sansar k sabse ahamkari prani honge jisdin hamare mitra ki akhand bharat k samrat k roop mein rajyabhishek hoga..gyanishrestha acharya chanakya k hathon..aur hum aise hi bhir mein sammilit hoke tumhara jai jai kar karenge...

Chandragupt : mitra...vo din tab hi ayega jab acharya k ashirvad aur tum sab mitron k hath isi tarah mere sath rahenge...

Shashank : akhand bharat k nirman ka pratiksha hamein bhi utnahi hai jitna tumhe aur acharya ko...

and thus they reached to the temple..maharani at first made aarti of Digvijay and marked tilak on his forehead ...and then he sat i the yaggavedi where rajpurohit started making offerings with his hand...Durdhara along with Subhadra.Dakshita Kalyani and other girls of palace was standing beside Digvijay...with the ahuti in fire the temple had been covered with smoke..so Chandragupt remained outside along with others..as the temple was much crowded...Ambhik was standing with other guests..watching Chandragupt and his friends he stepped towards them..and Aditya noticed that

Aditya : uff ye punah a gaya hama ra shanti bhang karne k liye???

Chandragupt : kaun??

Aditya : piche dekho

Chandragupt turned back and watching Ambhik smiling at him irritatingly he moved his eyes and tried to concentrate watching Digvijay's puja...Ambhik came eside him...

Ambhik : itne manoyog se kya dekh raha hai vanvasi??

Shashank was about to say something but Chandragupt held his hand...

Ambhik : acha to abhishek dekha ja raha hai..han dekhle aise hote hi hum rajkumaro ke rajyabhishek...jo tujh jaise tuchha vanvasi ke bhagya mein nhi likha hote hai...

Chandragupt(smiling sarcastically) : acharya hamesha kehte hai ke manusya apna bhagya swayam likhte hai...aur bhavishya kisne dekha hai ambhik...to hum is vishay pr vichar karke vyarth samay nast nhi karna chahte hai

Ambhik : haha nast karne k liye ab samay bacha hi kahan hai tere aur tere acharya k pass...

Chandragupt : arth kya hai tumhara??

in the meantime Digvijay's puja ended and king,queen and others took him to the throne on the higher place sitting where the king uses to meet a large no. of citizens...Digvijay sat on the throne and people shouted again...

jai rajkumar Digvijay ki jai..jai maharaj Abhisara ki jai..

..hearing that shout..Chandragupt and Ambhik stopped their arguement..and concentrate in watching Digvijay's coronation...and then Chandragupt's eyes got staked on Durdhara who was standing beside Digvijay's throne holding a plate in her hands...wearing a red saree and dupatta and heavy jeweleries..she was looking to gorgeous and beautiful in red...that everyone there was confused whether goddess lakshmi herself appeared to give her blessing to prince of Kamboja or not...
  but Chandragupt was thinking something else...beside Durdhara..Subhadra was also standing wearing a pink dress..and jeweleries and also looking gorgeous and beautiful too ..but she didn't have that glamor which Durdhara had..so Chandu got confused why a dasi is looking more glamorous than princess...
   like Chandu...Durdhara also noticed him...and watching him her anger increased like fire..but she decided to restrain from taking any step until her brother's coronation gets completed..because according to rajpurohit..if this holy moment of coronation got interrupted anyhow it will be proved bad luck for brother's future...so she controlled her anger however...but Dakshita noticed her firy eyes towards Chandragupt and immediately started praying to lord Vishnu to save Chandu ...
   Subhadra also noticed Durdhjara's changing mood...and couldn't control her curiosity ..

Bhadra : rajkumari Dhara kya ho gaya aapko??...aap krodhit dikhai de rahe hai

Dhara : pehle humein kaho..ke vo uddand vanvasi yahan kya kar rahe hai??

Bhadra : kaun uddand vanvasi??wahi jisne kal aapka apman karne ka duhsahas kiya tha???kahan hai vo???

Dhara : vo dekho...vo desdrohi Gandhar naresh k nikat hi khara hai...shwet vastra mein..

Bhadra : wahi shyamvarn ladka???..rajkumari aap nischit hai na yehi vo vanvasi hai??

Dhara : hum jinhe ekbar dekh lete hai hamari mastisk mein uske chitra ankit ho jate hai...yehi hai vo...jisne hamari shram, hamari chitra, hamari puja sab nast kiya tha...kya tum ise pehle dekh chuke ho??

Bhadra : han rajkumari...yeh to rajkumar k takshashila ke sathiyon k sath hi aya hai...sare mitron usko Chandu naam se pukaar raha tha...

Dhara : chandu...naam se hi vanvasi lagta hai...to ye takshashila se aya hai??isiliye vo pitrihanta gandhar naresh sath khare hai...jaise swavab waisahi sangat...

Bhadra : rajkumari aap kahein to hum abhi pratiharin ko use vandi banane k aadesh de??

Dhara : nahin...jabtak bhrata ki abhishek na ho jaye tabtak hum nahin chahte koi vadha utpanna ho...parantu tum pratiharin ko unpar dristi rakhne k liye kaho...

Bhadra : jo aggya...

Dakshita (thinking) : hey iswar kuch kijiye..warna Chandragupt sankat mein pad jayega...

Sukant's eyes again got staked on Subhadra..and again he lost in his dreams...

Sukant (thinking)..aaj to hum is soundarya k murti ko khone nahin denge...aaj jaise bhi ho hum iski naam janke rahenge...

Akshay was noticing Chandragupt's confused situation...and got curious..

Akshay : Chandragupt kya hua..tum vichalit dikh rahe ho??

Chandragupt : nahin baas hum ye soch rahe hai ke vo unmad dasi rajkumari se adhik sundar vastra aur abhushan pehen rakhe hai...kadachit vo apne aapko rajkumari samajne ka bhul to nhi kar rahe hai??

Akshay : kaun unmad kanya jo kaal tum pr puspa barshan kiye the vo??

Akshay told that so innocently that other boys started laughing...

Aditya : acha to vo unmad kanya yahan bhi hai??jo logo pr rang aur puspa ki varsha karte hai??hum bhi to unhe dekhe...dikhao bhi...

Chandragupt got embarrased..

Ghanghor : waise Digvijay ki abhishek hetu  to swayam soundarya ki devi ka hi agaman hua hai...aisa pratit hota hai...jitni sundar rajkumari Durdhara lag rahi hai..utnihi sundar panchnad rajkumari kalyani ...aur Dakshita bhi kuch kam nahin lag rahi hai...kyun Shashank??

Shashank's chubby chick again turned reddish...

Ambhik was getting mesmerized by Durdhara's beauty..and was thinking to give consent to the marriage...but his mind got distracted with Ghanghor's word...
and he turned towards Ghanghor...

Ambhik : punah kaho..panchnad rajkumari Kalyani...vo yahan hai??

Shashank : han rajkumari Kalyani..mahan despremi raja Parvateswar k putri...jo apne pita ki pratinidhitwa kr rahi hai is anusthan mein...vo rahi shwet vastra mein...

Ambhik looks at where Shashank indicated...

Kalyani was standing near Durdhara in white saree and dupatta...and with a smilie in her face as usual...she was looking so soft and polite as if goddess saraswati herself appeared to give blessing...
..when Ambhik's eyes fell upon her he got stunned

Ambhik(thinking) : vo dust Parvateswar ki putri itni komal..itni sundar???

and then he found that Kalyani was wearing those diomond jeweleries which he presented to Durdhara...and he didn't understand how to react..

..after rajpurohit completed his chanting and blessings..and then King Abhisara handed over his royal sword to Digvijay...and rajpurohit kept the headgear decorated with precious stones on Digvijay's head which yuvraj of Kamboja uses to wear...and then crowed shouted again

..jai yuvraj Digvijay ki jai...

and then the time comes to the final rituals...this ritual is going for ages in Kamboja...when coronation takes place...the princess or queen streces a royal knifeto the bravest warrior of the present crowed ..the warrior hurt his finger with the knife and puts a drop of blood on the knife ..and with that drop of blood that warrior signs a mark on prince or king's forehead..without this ritual the coronation can'be completed..and that warrior is considered most honourable man of Kamboja...generally the most powerful king of neighbourhood kingdom gets this honour...Kamboja had two powerful neighbours..Panchnad and Gandhara..as Panchnad king porus was not present there so that honour as expectedly to be given to Gandhar king Ambhik...so king Abhisara and other ministers looked at Ambhik...and Ambik was about to come there..but suddenly Digvijay stood up from the throne to say something and everyone got surprised but stopped for listening to him...

Digvijay : upasthit kamboj k adhibasiya aur prativeshi rajya ki atithi barogon...aj humare jeevan ke ek baht hi mahatyapurn adyay aramv hone ja raha hai...aaj ke baad kamboj pradesh ke aur bharatvarsh ki simant raksha k uttardayitta hum pr honge...aur is dayitta ko safalta purvak palan kar paye uske karan  hum chahenge..ke hamara yuvrajyabhishek usi veer ke hathon ho...jiske hathon bharatvarsh ke anewale itihas likha jayega...kya aap sab isse sahmat hai??

and he looked towards the crowed..

Crowed : avashya rajkumar...hum bhi us veer se milna chahenge...

Digvijay : to swagat kijiye us veer ko..itni salp ayu mein jiske veerta ki misaal diya ja raha hai...aur humein garv hai ke vo hamare param mitra hai...aur vo hai prithvi  ke sarvkal ke sarvshreshtha gyani acharya Chanakya ke shishya Chandragupt...
(looking towards Chandragupt)...ao mitro...hamara tilak anusthan sampurn karo

Chandragupt was so astonished that at first he forgot how to react...even king and queen also got stunned
Ambhik's face got darkend ..it seemed an insult towards him...
..watching Chandragupt still standing in a state of confusion..shashank pushed him towards Digvijay's throne...Chandragupt regained his consciousness and stepped towards Digvijay...

Durdhara like others were also eager to see Chandragupt..who had become a topic of discussion in this region nowadays..though she always uses to think that Chandragupt is drawing all attention of her brother Digvijay..but never expressed how much eager she was to meet him..but watching that vanvasi stepping towards her brother...she became completely speechless...

Chandragupt came to Digvijay

Chandragupt : mitra ye sab kya hai??

Digvijay : Chandragupt...is samay isi sthan pr tumhare atirikt aur koi is karya ki yogya nhi hai...apne rakt se hamare tilak karke hamein badhit nhi karoge??

Chandragupt : aisa mat kaho bandhu...tumhare liye to hamare sareer ki har ek boond rakt nichawar hai...do hamein tarbari

Digvijay(looking towards Durdhara) : rajkumari Durdhara ...kya dekh rahi ho...Chandragupt ko tarvari to do...

..watching Digvijay referring that unmad kanya as rajkumari Durdhara...Chandragupt lost it completely...
...both Durdhara and Chandragupt kept staring each other for a while with complete astonishment and disbelief...and at last with much attempt they only could speak...

Durdhara : veerta ki misaal Chandragupt!!!!!!!

Chandragupt : kamboj rajkumari Durdhara!!!!!

Ehsaas Kuch Naya Sa (Part-8)

..Subhadra was waiting in front of the temple for Durdhara to complete her circle...but when time passed but princess didn't come she got so worried that she herself went to find her in the back of temple and due to tension she forgot to call Durdhara as princess and took her best friend's childhood name..'Dhara'...and then she found Dhara lying unconscious on the land..it made Bhadra so shocked that her voice became chocked..she ran to Dhara..took her head on her lap and started airing princess with her clothes...

Bhadra : hey ishwar ye kya ho gaya hai Dhara ko...Dhara ankhe kholo...hey visnu bhagwan raksha kijiye hamare rajkumari ka...Dhara utho...

 she took water from the tiny silk covered water-bag,always  tied with her waste ...and splashed water on Dhara's face...and at last Dhara opened her eyes.

Bhadra : dhanyabad Visnu bhagwan ka ..ap thik ho...apne to humein dara hi diye the...lijiye thora sa pani pi lijiye .ap swasth mehsus karenge...

and she made Dhara drinking water...

Bhadra : ab thik lag raha hai na rajkumari??

Dhara (getting up from Bhadra's lap) :han hum sampurn swasth hai...parantu..vo kahan gaya??

Bhadra : kiske baat kar rahe hai rajkumari..

Dhara : wahi jiske wajah se humari ye dasha hue...wahi uddand vanvasi...

Bhadra (confused): kya uddand vanvasi??

Dhara : han wahi jo subhah hamare mahal mein ghus aya tha...
(and she summarized what made her unconscious)

Bhadra : kya us vanvasi ka itna bada duhsahas k usne apko chua...ap chinta na kare rajkumari hamare sainik use avasya bandi banake apke charan mein upasthit karenge...parantu humein abhi mahal k liye prasthan karna padega..andhakar ho chuka hai...sab chinta kar rahe honge...

Dhara : ekbaar vo hamein mil jaye to hum use samjhayenge..rajkumari k apmaan karne ka kya parinam hota hai...parantu..hum abhi kaise jaye Bhadra hamara pradakshin abhi asamapt hai...

Bhadra : to chaliye rajkumari shigra pradakshin sampurn karte hai..parantu ab main apke sath rahungi...chahe kuch bhi ho jaye apko akele nhi chodenge apse...

and then Bhadra arrenged the plate again and made Dhara complete her circle by holding her tight...

..inside the temple when Digvijay heard the news he was just stunned..and couldn't speak for a while...rajpurohit considered his situation as an effect of unexpected happiness...and he went to give instructions to other priests for the preparation of next day's coronation...
...watching Digvijay...standing in a utterly shocked position Aditya went to him..

Aditya : Digvijay..

but Digvijay didn't response..then Aditya shaked him..and at last Digvijay regained consciousness...

Aditya : kya hua Digvijay...kis chinta mein khoye ho??...

Digvijay : is samay hum tumhe kuch nhi keh sakte Aditya..humein isi samay prasad k lie prasthan karna padega...tum jake sabko is vishay suchit karo...

Aditya : acha tum jaisa thik samjho...

and he went to call others...

Digvijay : pratiharin...pratiharin...

the female bodyguard of princess comes to him..

pratiharin : adesh kijiye yuvraj...

Digvijay : humein abhi isi samay mahal k liye prasthan karna padega...jaise hi rajkumari apni pradakshin pura karke aye..tum Dhara,Bhadra aur rajkumari Kalyani ko leke turant mahal pohuchna...

pratiharin : jo aggya

and she leaves...

Digvijay comes to his friends...he was finding Chandragupta..but Chandragupta was not there...

Digvijay : Chandragupt kahan hai mitron??

Sukant : o to abtak mandir mein pravesh hi nhi kiya...parantu tumhe kya hua Digvijay??..Aditya keh raha tha tum baht chintit ho...

Digvijay : hum baad mein bistar se batayenge..abhi sab log hamare sath mahal k liye prasthan karo...

Shashank : parantu Chandragupt??

Digvijay : tum aur Dakshita jake use dhundo...q k mandir k piche ek chota sa van hai..aur mandir k suraksha hetu kuch vishakt udvid hai uhan..yadi Chandragupt uhan chale jaye to tum dono k hi abashyakta padenge use..

Dakshita : thik hai rajkumar...

Airavat : inhe ye bhi keh do k apas mein ladke samay byatit na kare...

Dakshita : tumhe humko gyan dene ka avashyakta nhi ..hum apne kartavya vali vati jante hai...chaliye vaidji

Shashank for first time followed Dakshita without speaking a word...

Sukant (thinking): hey iswar itni nikat ake bhi hum unse mil nhi paye..hey Vishnu bhagwan daya karna...us soundarya k devi se shigra hamara vet karwana..

Digvijay : Sukant humein bilamb ho raha hai..chalo..

Sukant : han Digvijay chalo...

only few minutes after they left Subhadra with Durdhara entered into temple..and Kalyani ran to them..

Kalyani : are tum log itni derse kahan the?? sab chintit ho gaye the...

Bhadra : vo hum...

Pratiharin came to them...

Pratiharin : rajkumari yuvraj k adesh hai k hum ap sab ko leke mahal k liye turant prasthan kare..

Dhara : isi samay??parantu humari prarthana to abhi pure nhi hue...

Bhadra : nhi rajkumari..apko abhi bisram ki avasyakta hai...aap mahal laut chaliye...aur rahi baat prarthana ki to ap to vo apne man hi man puri kar sakti hai...abhi prasad laut chaliye...

Dhara " acha thik hai...chalo...

Dhara, Kalyani and Bhadra left with pratiharin...

Shashank and Dakshita went in search for Chandragupta but before they didn't have to find much as Chandragupta himself was coming towards the temple.but watching his condition both of them remained spellbound for a while..Chandu's face and clothes are glued with flower petals of various colours and a garland is hanging on his chest...but it seemed he is unaware of his condition..he came and stood in front of them and both of them burst into laughter...

Shashank : hey iswar Chandragupt tumhara ye dasha kisne kiya ..hahahaha

Chandu (getting confused) : dasha kaisi dasha...hum to bilkul swasth hai...

Dakshita ( taking the garland away from Chandu's neck) : han vo to hamein pratit ho raha hai...

Chandu then realized what are they talking about..he was not aware that during the collision with that mad girl the garland from her plate came on his neck...he became embarrassed..and felt thrilled again by recalling the incident...without knowing the reason...

Chandu : are yesab us unmad kanya k karan..

Shashank didn't let him finish

Shashank : kya kaha kanya??..aho bhagya...ek kanya ne hamare Chandragupt ko varmala pehna diya...ye sambad utsav palan k yogya hai..hahahaha

Chandu(confused) : varmala!! ye kya keh rahe ho Shashank??..varmala to vivah k samay pehnaya jate hai...

Shashank (laughing at Chandu's ignorance) : han han vo to hamein gyat hai..parantu hum bhi to sunhe vo bhagyabati kanya kaun hai jise hamare neta unmad kehke sambodhit kar rahe hai...

Dakshita(confusingly thinking) : kahin ye unmad kanya swayam rajkumari hi to nhi...hey iswar yadi aisa hua to kal abhishek tak koi bipatti na aye isiliye ye alochana yehi samapt honi chahiye...

Chandu : are hum keh rahe hai na ye varmala nhi hai..us unmad dasi k sath sangharsh k samay ye uske patra se mere pass a gaya hoga...

Shashank : kanya se sangharsh haha...han tab hi to shastra ke sthan mein komol puspo pallav byabhar kiya gaya hoga..

Shashank perhaps continued further to tease Chandu..but Dakshita interrupted

Dakshita : bas karo Shashank..tum ayu mein chandragupt se jyesth ho..usse aise baat karna tumhe shobha nhi deta...

Shashank : Dakshita..tum sayad bismrit ho rahe ho k chandragupt hamara mitro hai...usse baat karne k liye tumse shiksha lene ki koi avashyakta nhi hai...

Dakshita : avashyakta hai..kyun ke tum shalinta k ullanghan kar rahe ho...

Shashank : acha hum shalinta ullanghan kar rahe hai??aur tum jo ek kanya hoke aise uchha sur mein baat karte ho vo baht shalin hote hai na...

Chandu : are shant ho jao tum dono.kabhi bhi kahin bhi shuru ho jate ho..humne abtak devta k darshan nhi kiya..marg chodo humarein

Shashank : are mandir se yad aya...Digvijay baht padessan dikh rahe the ..vo aur hamare baki sathi prasad k lie nikal chuke hai..aur Digvijay ne hum pr ye daitwa diya hai tumhe dhund k shighratishighra prasad pohuchne k liye

Chandu : acha??aisa kya vipatti an padi??

Shashank : vo to mahal chalke hi pata chalega..ab shighra chalo  ..devta darshan kal kar lena..

Dakshita : are ruko..Chandragupt is avastha mein jayega kya??..pehle usse in pusppallav se mukt to karo..

Chandu (became conscious and started shaking his clothes) : vo han abhi saf karti hun..subah rang..shamko phul..pata nhi aur kya kya milna baki hai..

Shashank : kya kaha tum??subah rang shamko phul ..iska arth??

Dakshita : are chandu ho gaya na..ab shighra chalo..baki baat mahal mein chalke karoge...

Shashank (unwillingly) : acha thik hai mahal chalo

three of them stepped towards the horses...and Chandu rided on his one.and started for palace .Shashank  was also about to ride but suddenly Dakshita stopped him...

Dakshita : suno Shashank ..

Shashank : ab kya hua..ab bilamb nhi ho raha hai kya...

Dakshita : nhi mahal mein pohuchte hi tum mahatyapurn alochana ko chhorke bhojan k sandhan mein na chale jao isiliye abhi se ye le lo..

and she gives him some sweets and fruits packed by tree liefes

Shashank : ye kya hai??

Dakshita : prasad hai..puja samapt hote hi le liya tha..
and without wasting a second she rided on horse and started for palace leaving Shashank confused

Shashank : ye kanya satya mein hamare samajh k bahar hai..
and he also rided on horse...

...the Vishnu temple of Rajpur was the oldest temple of Kamboja...its structure was influenced by Persian architecture...and it was different to look at than the temples of AD era...the temple was not very big in size..rather it was small piece of architecture made by stones..in the temple there was an idol of lord Vishnu made of black stone...the idol also was small...on that time rituals of worshiping god was also different...it was more like agnihotra or offering to fire...so in front of the idol there was a wide place for offering in fire...
...when Chandragupt and his friends reached to Vishnu temple the Agnihotra had been started...priests were chantibbg hymns...Durdhara was sitting in the center of all and was offering things to the fire..Subhadra was standing just behind her..and was supplying things...Kalyani was sitting with folding hands with her eyes towards fire...Dakshita was obseving the stairs whether prince and his friends are coming or not...except the priests there were guards for their security...
...after reaching in temple...Digvijay and his friends went upstairs..but Chandragupta stayed outside as he was observing the temple and its beautiful structure thoroughly...it was habit to be attracted to the new things..what he has never seen before...
..Digvijay guided his friends inside the temple...guard showing owner paved the way...and they reached where offerings were going on...watching them Dakshita stepped towards them...Nandini was beside her..she also followed her

Digvijay : ao mitron..ye raha Kamboja ka sabse prachin mandir...hamare aradhya devta Vishnu bhagban ki...

Aditya : baht sundar mandir hai...parantu tumne kaha tha k rajkumari tumhare lie aj puja kar rahi hai..kahan hai vo??

Digvijay (indicating Durdhara) : vo dekho...yagg mein ghritahuti de rahi hai...

everyone turned towards that direction...

Ghanghor : rajkumari k sundarta k bare mein jo bhi charche sune the vo unse bhi adhik sundar hai...

Digvijay gave a proudly appreciating smile...

and then Sukant's eyes stacked on Subhadra who was standing behind Durdhara...and he became speechless...minutes passed and he kept watching her...
Sukant (thinking) : humne to socha bhi nhi tha k humein itni shighra darshan mil jayenge unki...ishwar ko asankhya dhanyabad k vo rajkumari nhi hai...warna hum Gandhar k ek tuchcha rajkarmachari k putra kabhi unke vishay mein sochne k sahas nhi kar sakte...parantu vo sundari kaun hai..jo mere man ko aise moh liya?..ye kya ho raha hai humein)
and then Dakshita stood in front of him and watching Sukant's condition...she shook her hands in front of his eyes and Sukant regained his consciousness...

Dakshita : aise kya dekh rahe the Sukant??

Sukant (still in dreamland) : vo kanya

Dakshita : kanya???kaunsi kanya??tum mandir mein kanya k darshan karne k liye aye ho??

Shashank : vo chahe kisike bhi darshan karne aye..tumhe usse kya??

Dakshita : ohh aap bhi yahan hai???parantu ab tak puja samapt nhi hua..isiliye prasad nhi milega

Shashank : tumhare kehne ka arth kya hai??main yahan prasad k liye aya hun??

Dakshita : aur nahi to kya...bhojan k atirikt kisi bhi vishay mein tumhara ruchi hai ye to humein gyat nhi...

Shashank : dekho Dakshita apne sima mein raho samjhi...

Dakshita : warna kya kar loge??

Digvijay (tensed) : are tum log yahan bhi shuru ho gaye??mitron ye mandir hai yahan to shanti rakho...

and Shashank and Dakshita stopped temporarily

Kalyani stepped towards Digvijay...

Kalyani : rajkumar Digvijay k jai ho...

Digvijay : are Panchnad kumari...humein gyat nahi tha k aap bhi yahan hai...aho bhagya hamara...mitron inse milo..ye hai panchnad k rajkumari mahan raja Parvateswar ki putri Kalyani...

everyone : pranam rajkumari

Kalyani : pranam
(turning towards Digvijay) : kumar inme se vo avinashi veer kaun hai??

Digvijay : kaun Chandragupt??(and then he found Chandragupt was nt with them)...nhi rajkumari vo inme se koi nhi hai...vo mandir k bahar hi reh gaya hai...main abhi bulata hun...

Kalyani : chaliye humare usse milna avashyak hai...

they went outside

 boys tried to step towards the havankund but Dakshita stopped them..

Airawat : kya hua humein devta darshan karna hai badha q de rahi ho??

Dakshita : ta ke puja mein koi bipatti na aye

Shashank : tumhare kehne ka arth kya hai..hamare wajah se puja mein vipatti a sakte hai

Dakshita : kuch kaha nhi ja sakta...ab tark na karke yehin ruko..puja samapt hone k paschat hi tumlog praves kar paoge..

Shashank and friends became angry..specially Sukant became impatient..but they couldn't dare to say anything

Chandragupta was still outside of the temple...was watching its beauty..and then Digvijay and Nandini came to him...

Digvijay : are Chandragupt tum yahan kya kar rahe ho...hum sab tumhare pratiksha kr rahe the..dekho rajkumari tumse bhet karne k utsukta se swayam bahar chali ayi...

Kalyani (smiling with excitement) : to aap hi hai vo veerta ki misaal...pitasree se apke bare mein baht kuch suna...

Chandu (gave a cute smile) :humein lajjit na kare rajkumari...guni to aap hai...kitna advut chitra banati hai aap..

Kalyani became confused

Kalyani : chitra??kaunse chitra k baat kr rahe hai aap??humein koi chitra banana nhi ata...

Digvijay : are Chandragupt tum galat samajh rahe ho...ye hamare behn Durdhara nhi Panchnad k rajkumari Kalyani hai...hamari Dhara to puja mein vyast hai..vo dekho..
he pointed his fingure towards the place where Durdhara was sitting..but as Durdhara on that time bent herself to take blessings from lord Vishnu..so Chandu could see Subhadra as she was just behind Dhara...and he considered Subhadra as princess Durdhara...

Chandu (turning towards Kalyani) : humein shama karna rajkumari...aap Panchnad k raja mahan Parvateswar k kanya hai..hum apne acharya se apke pita k vishay mein baht suna hai..vo ek mahan veer hai...

Digvijay : ap dono batein karo..puja samapt hone ko hai..humein bhitar jana hoga..aap dono batein khatam karke a jana...

he left

Kalyani : Chandragupt humein apko ek vises suchna deni hai...apke acharya chanakya bartaman mein hamare rajya mein aye hue hai...hum Abhisar rajya mein a rahe hai ye janke unhone humein ek vises patra diya hai..ap tak pohuchane k lie...is patra mein unke koi vises suchna hai...

and she handed over a rolled paper to Chandragupt

Kalyani : ise padh lena...hum chalte hai...

she left...

Chandu went to the back of the temple and opened the letter of Chanakya

here the offerings eneded inside the temple...Durdhara took blessings from lord Vishnu...and then she took the heavy plate of the stone where all the flowers.. and other ingredients of offerings were decorated..she had to have a round of the temple alone with this heave plate...closing her eyes...Subhadra took her outside the temple...and then left her as she Durdhara had to complete the circle alone...guards kept all people away from the temple as there would be no obstacle on princess's way...so Durdhara started walking with eyes closed...
Chandu was reading the letter by hiding in a place so that none could watch him reading the letter...so guards didn't find him...now after reading the letter he became tensed and came out from that secret place and started walking towards temple..as his concentration was still in the letter he didn't notice someone is coming towards him...
Durdhara was coming with closed eyes..so there was no question of noticing Chandu...and the result was as expected
Dhara with her heavy plate of stone collided with Chandu..and all the flowers from that plate fell upon Chandu...and as an effect of this collision both of them sat down on land...

Ehsaas kuch naya Sa (Part-6)

..in the evening Durdhara was getting ready for the puja held in Vishnu mandir..the next day is birthday as well as coronation of prince Digvijay...and according to the tradition the princess will do the tilak of yuvraj...so she has to do puja in previous evening...Subhadra and Drakshita were helping her to get dressed...Pratiharin entered..

Pratiharin : rajkumari ek vises atithi apse vet krna chahte hai

Dhara : parantu humare liye abhi kisise bhet karna samvab nahi hai ...humein puja ke liye samay pr mandir pohuchna padega..

Pratiharin : shama karein rajkumari parantu gandhar naresh ambhik apke liye bahat samay se pratiksha kar rahe hai...

Durdhara and Subhadra stared to each others face and Drakshita's face got darkened..

.
Dhara : acha unhe suchit karo ke hum a rahe hai...

Pratiharin left
Dhara : Bhadra ye wahi hain na jisne apne matrabhumi ke sath viswasghat karke yavan raja ke liye bharat ka dwar unmukt kia hai...
Drakshita : han rajkumari ye wahi deshdrohi ambhik hai...in par to apne pita ambhiraj ke hatya ka arop bhi hai q ke gandharraj ek deshbhakt the unhone yavan sikandar ke sath ambhik kumar ke mitrata ka virodh kie the
Subhadra : bharatbhumi k kalank hai ye Ambhik..
Dhara : parantu aise neech vyakti humse q bhet karna chahte hai...hum puja karne ja rahe hai..aise samai hum us desdrohi ke ashubh chehra dekhke is shubh karm mein badhayein utpann nahin karna chahte..pehle vo uddand vanvasi ab ye pitrihanta desdrohi..pata nahi aj kiske chehra dekhe the hum..
Drakshita (thinking) : iska arth rajkumari ko ye gyat nahi hai ke ambhik ke sath unkr vivah ke prastab pr vichar kia ja raha hai...hey ishwar pata nahi kya hai vidhata ke man mein..
Subhadra : parantu rajkumari yadi aap unse bhet na kare to ye gandhar naresh ka apman hoga..is samai abhisar rajya gandhar ke sath mitrata sandhi mein abadha hai ..humare pita kehte hai ke gandhar baht hi shaktishali hai yavan ke sahayata se..is samai apki ye sidhanth avisar rajya ke liye ashubh sanket ho sakta hai...humare kheyal se apko ekbar unse bhet kar lena chahiye
Dhara : teri vichar sahi hai Bhadra tu sahi arth mein hi mahaamatya ke kanya hai...acha to tum bhi hamare sath chalo ...aur Drakshita tum hamarein rath ko taiyar hone ke liye kaho..hum kuch i samay mein prasthan karenge
Drakshita : ji rajkumari
Ambhik was waiting anxiously in the garden of princess's mahal...its the waiting place of male visitors and guests ...as they don't have permission to enter in princess's place..even if he is a king or prince...Subhadra and Durdhara entered into the garden...Ambhik became spellbound to see Durdhara's beauty...and thought acharya Shukdev didn't commit any mistake by sending his the marriage proposal...
at first he opposed Shukdev's decision for the first time...he was not ready for marriage he is busy to satisfy his thirst for power..after the treaty with sikandar Ambhik helped Sikandar to attack the kingdom of puskalabati in west gandhar...as he wanted to rule all over Gandhar...and now Sikandar is on the way to get victory over Puskalabati..in this moment Ambhik was not willing to leave Gandhar and to come Avisar...but Shukdev made him go..he made Ambhik understood that to make Abhisar as Gandhar's friend is necessary if Abhisar king would accept Sikandar's supremacy..then it would be easier for Sikandar to enter into India and lead war with panchnad king Parvateswar (Purus)...Abhisar for its location is not easyly defeatable...so if Sikandar has to fight battle with them then his entrance into india would be delayed...and his army would become more exhausted..and may be Sikandar will return without fighting with Purus..and Ambhik's purpose won't be served..that's why Shukdev sent the marriage proposal to Abhisar king ..and by sending details of Sikandar's huge undefeatable army he somehow managed to convince him to send his acceptance to Sikandar..and made him thinking about Ambhik and Durdhara's marriage...but Abhisar raja is not ready for his daughter's early marriage..so Shukdev sent Ambhik in Digvijay's coronation to convince him about the marriage..but still Ambhik was not satisfied with Shukdev's step
and now by watching beauty of princess..Ambhik felt Shukdev took right step
Durdhara looked at Ambhik for a moment then shifted her eyes..as she was not willing to see a traitor's face
Durdhara (thinking) : to ye hai vo desdrohi gandhar naresh..chehre se hi pratit ho raha hai ye ek nehayat hi ahankari vyakti hai jo apne aham ko tust karne ke liye koi bhi ghrunit karya kar sakta hai
Ambhik : rajkumari Durdhara hum hai Gandhar naresh Ambhik...humare naam to sune hi honge...
Subhadra (thinking) : rajkumari ko abhibadan bhi nahi kia...chehre se jitna ahankari dikhta hai vastab mein usse kai guna adhik ahamkari hai..
Durdhara (without looking at Ambhik) : han jante hai ab to sabhi janpadon mein kebal yehi naam ka charcha hai...
Ambhik couldn't get the real meaning of Durdhara' word so thought she is praising for that..and thought Durdhara is also impressed by him
Ambhik : dhanyabad rajkumari hum itna vikhyat hai ye to humein bhi gyat nahi tha...
Dhara : humein puja ke liye bilamb ho rahe hai..isiliye hum shighra apke humse bhet karneka uddyeshya janna chahte hai
Ambhik : hum aap ke liye uphar leke aye hai...ye gandhar ke bahumulya uchakoti ke heerak alankar ...hamare taraf se gandhar aur abhisar rajya ke sambandh ke chinha swarup...
and he ordered his servant and he removed the velvet cover from a huge plate..where the diamond jeweleries were decorated...there were all types of luvastrating  ornaments made of diamonds...Durdhara uninterestingly looked at that...and shifted eyes again...Subhadra smiled once...
Dhara : parantu hamare liye ye uphar kisliye??janamtithi aur rajyabhishek hamare bhrata ka hai hamari nahi
Ambhik : hum jante hai rajkumari Digvijay to hamare param mitra hai..unke liye hum kuch vises uphar laye haye..parantu hum ne suna hai ke rajkumariyon ko heerak alankar baht hi priya hote hai..to humne gandhar ke shrestha swarnakar se ye alankar prastut karwaya.apke liye...
Subhadra(smiling at Ambhik's ignorance) : parantu jo har rajkumari ko pasand aye vo Abhisar rajkumari ko bhi pasand aye ye avashyak to nahi..hamare rajkumari ko heerak aur heerak alankar mein koi ruchi nahi hai
Ambhik : parantu kyu??heera to har kanya ko pasand hai..aur tum kaun ho jo itne nischitrupse  ye keh rahe ho
Dhara : ye hamare sabse priya sakhi aur mahaamatya putri Subhadra hai..aur ye hume humse bhi adhik  janti hai...ye satya keh rahi hai..humein heerak pasand nahi..ye baht hi berang hai...
Ambhik : to phir apko kya pasand hai rajkumari
Dhara : vo aap nahi samjhenge...parantu ap hamare rajya ke atithi hai isiliye apke uphar grahan karna humara kartavya hai..Bhadra grahan karo ise
and Subhadra took the plate of diamonds
and then pratiharin entered
Pratiharin : kshama chahte hai rajkumari..parantu Panchnad ke rajkumari apke mahal mein apke pratiksha kar rahe hai...
Dhara : humein ab jana padega...chalo Subhadra
and they left behind Ambhik with his darkened face..Ambhik realized the princess is different from others...he thought princess would be easily impressed by his valubale gift but the result was unexpected to him...and another thing striked him was that the news of Panchnad princess's coming...that meand Abhsar rajya is maintaining good relation with Gandhar's enemy Purus too...he was not prepared for that news..he didn't understand how to react
Durdhara reached to andarmahal..where Panchnad princess Kalyani, daughter of king Purus was waiting for her...Nandini was 13 years old beautiful princess with a smiling face..her smile was so innocent that people always say that she can win her enemy with this smile...she has got a soft heart and friendly nature..and never shows proud ever..unlike other princess including Durdhara too( as Durdhara reserved by nature but Kalyani is talkative)


Durdhara and Subhadra entered where Nandini was waiting for them ..Kalyani was sitting but watching Durdhara She went and hugged her though it was their first meeting but Nandini behaved as she knew Dhara for years...
Kalyani : to tum hi ho Durdhara...main panchnad k rajkumari Kalyani hun.hum shama chahte hai..apne rajya k suraksha ko chhodke hamare pita Parvateswar nahi a paye isiliye humein akelehi ana padha apke amantran ka maan rakhne .maine tumhara naam baht suna hai apne sakhiyon se...parantu jitna suna tumte usse bhi jyada sundar ho...
Dhara : ap humein lajjit kar rahe hai rajkumari..sundar to aap hai..hum apke aur apke pita ke bare mein baht suna hai...
Kalyani : are are ye ap ap kya hai?humse agar tum kehke baat nahi kiya to hum bhi tumse baat nahi karenge...
Dhara : acha Nandini humein tumse milke baht khushi hui...
Kalyani : ye hui na baat..dekho hum tumhare liye kuchh uphar laye hai...suna hai ke tumhe rangon se aur kala se baht prem hai to hum Panchnad ke prasidha murtikar se tumhare liye ye ratnakhachit natraj murti prastut karwaye haii..dekho...
and she streched her hands to Dhara with a beautiful Idol of Nataraj decorated by various colourful and valuable stones ( like chuni,panna.etc.)...as soon the lights of lamps fell upon him the idol started glowing and the room became full of magical colours..Durdhara and Subhadra became mesmerized
Kalyani : ye humare taraf se hamare preet ka nishani
Dhara : dhanyabad Nandini iska soundarya advut hai...
Kalyani : aur pata hai ye jis ke paas rehte hai vo jeevan ke har yudh mein vijay prapt karte hai..
Subhadra : sach??
Kalyani turned towards Subhadra she was putting the plate of diamond jewellaries on bed..
Kalyani : tum Subhadra ho na??Durdhara ke priyo sakhi??humne tumhare naam bhi baht suna..
and she hugged Subhadra too..Subhadra's hand was still on that plate..so when she also hugged nandini the plate's cover was removed by her hand...and Kalyani looked at those jewellaries..and she becomes excited
Kalyani : are kitna sunadar heerak abhushan hai...tumhe ye uphar mila Durdhara..
Durdhara : tumhe heera pasand hai??
Kalyani : heera to mujhe sabse priyo hai...kise heerak pasand nhi honge??
Durdhara : ye sare alankar tum rakh lo..ye mere taraf se tumhare liye uphar hai...
Kalyani : parantu
Durdhara : koi parantu nahi..ye mere taraf se mere sakhi ke liye uphar hai...nahi loge to hum bhi tumse baat nahi karenge
Kalyani : tab to humein ye swikarna hi padega...pata hai Durdhara humare yahan ane ke ek aur bhi karan hai..hum apne desh ke us veer suputra ko bhi dekhna chahte hai jinke bare mein hamare pita aur mantri indurdutta ji humesha batein karte rehte hai...
Durdhara : tum kiske baat kar rahe ho??
Kalyani : wahi mahan acharya chanakya ke  shishya Chandragupta...vo to tumhare bhrata kumar Digvijay ke mitra bhi hai na..aur is samai yehin upasthit
Durdhara (thinking) : uff Chandragupta aur Chandragupta..aisa kya hai usmein jo charo taraf usike charche hote hai...
Kalyani : tumne mila usse??kaisa dikhta hai??suna hai ke humse jyada bada nahi hai...
Dhara: honge..humein gyat nahi..humne nahi mila usse...
and then Drakshita enters,,
Drakshita : rajkumari apke rath kabse pratiksha kar rahe hai..puja ke liye bilamb ho rahe hai
Dhara : humein Visnupuja ke liye jana padega Nandini..tum yadi shranti bodh na kar rahe ho to a sakte ho...
Kalyani : avashya Durdhara ..chalo
and four of them left for temple...

Ehsaas Kuch Naya Sa (Part-5)

...Chandu remembered acharya...with his blessing he managed to escape safely from that mad girl...otherwise don't know what would be happen to him...but he failed to understand why was he feeling so strange with her touch...he used to play with girls as well as boys in pippalivan...even Drakshita is his good friend...sometimes all of them makes fun with her too...but this girl seems different from all...and what a sweet smell he got today...the smell is completely new to him...he thrilled by remembering that moment but failed to understand the cause..

'parantu hum us kanya ke liye itne chinta kyu kr rahe hai...na jane kya samasya hai use dekhne mein to bilkul swasth lagti hai parantu hai sampurn unmad'

he thinks..suddenly he noticed Drakshita walking and he ran to stop her... Drakshita became shocked at first as she couldn't recognize Chandu..because all of his cloths.body and even face were decorated with spots of various colours...Drakshita started laughing...

Drakshita :ohh Chandragupt tumhara ye dasha kisne kiya??aisa pratit ho raha hai jaise vasant k agaman se pehlehi vasant utsav manake aye ho...

Chandu : ye parihas ka samai nahi hai Drakshita..hasya samvaran karo...

Drakshita : Chandragupt tumne to hume vaibhit kr chuke the...yodi main atmaraksha hetu tumhe kat leti to??

Chandu : to acharya ko puno magadh yatra krna padta ek aur Chandragupt k talash mein..parantu uske purv tumhe samshan chor kar ate...

Drakshita : parantu tumhare ye dasha kaise hua??aur tum rajkumari k mahal mein kya kr rahe ho??kya tumhe gyat nahi hai ke idhar purush ka ana mana hai...

Chandu : are to mujhe kaunsa yahan ana tha ??Digvijay ne mujhe kaha ke tum mahal ke andar jaise chahe bhraman sakte ho koi nahi rokega...mujhe kya pata tha ke main andarmahal ke disha mein a jayunga..kisine to roka hi nhi mujhe...aur fir vo kanya...

Drakshita : kanya??kaunsi kanya??kya baat hai Chandu han??

Chandu : pata nahi hogi koi dasi..sampurn unmad...

Drakshita : acha??(with a mischievous smile)
(and suddenly a chaos was sounded)

Chandu : aisa pratit hote hai ke pratiharin mere khoj se isi disha mein a rahe hai...tum shighrata se mujhe yahan se nikalne mein sahayata karo...baad mein jitna man chahe has lena...

Drakshita : avasya Chandragupt...tum sammukh mein jo dwar hai use unmukt karo..ek marg milenge jisse tum rajmahal ke piche wale puskarini mein pohuch jaoge..udhar koi nahi ata...udhar pehle nahake apne purane abastha mein ao..fir uske dusre taraf ke marg pr chalna atithi shala pohuchoge...

Chandu : parantu tum yesab kaise jante ho...

Drakshita : are rajkumari ki sakhi Subhadra ne bataya mujhe...ab shighra karo anyatha tumhare sthan atithigriha mein nahi karagriha mein honge...jao..

Chandu left...and after some moments pratiharin reached there

Pratiharin : kya apne kisi vanvasi balok ko yahan dekha??

Drakshita : vanvasi??nahi to..q kya hua??

Pratiharin : koi anupraveskari rajkumari k mahal mein pravesh kiya..aur rajkumari ke chitra ko nast kr diya...usne rajkumari se uche awaz mein baat krne k bhi duhsahas kiya...rajkumari itne krodhit hai ke vo aswasth mehsus kr rahe hai..Subhadra unki seva mein vyast hai...hume us dust ko kisi bhi haal mein bandi banana hai...

Drakshita (thinking) : kahin vo kanya jiske bare mein Chandragupt bol raha tha vo swayam rajkumari hi to nahi??...hey ishwar raksha karna...

Pratiharin : chup q hai aap??kahiye kya apne kisi ko dekha hai??

Drakshita : nahi maine kisiko nahi dekha...parantu aap kya kar rahe the...andarmahal ke suraksha to aap ke hah o mein hai na..to vo apke hote hue idhar praves kaise kiya??

Pratiharin (feeling ashamed) : vo ek vises atithi ke agaman hetu hum bas unke swagat karne gaye the...

Drakshita : kaunse vises atithi ??

Pratiharin : wahi jinke sath rajkumari ke vivah ka samvabna hai...gandhar naresh Ambhik Kumar...

Drakshita : kya???????????????????????????????

Sukant and Akshay were roaming in the garden with the children of palace...suddenly a gusty cold air flowed over them...the air left a paper on Sukant's face...Sukant being very annoyed removed the paper from face and was about to throw it and then he had a glance at the portrait on the paper and he stopped like a statue...what a beautiful girl is she...is she really exists on this earth or its only a dream..or imagination of the painter...for some moments Sukant became lost in that painting...Akshay was very surprised by watching Sukant's behaviour...he called Sukant..but Sukant didn't response...then Akshay shaked him and Sukant regained his consciousness at last..

Akshay : Sukant kya ho gaya hai tumhe??..kahan kho gaye the??

Sukant : nahi Akshay hum to bas ye chitra dekh rahe the...baht sundar hai na??

Akshay looked at the portrait of Subhadra..no doubt the painting is beautiful..but Akshay failed to find anything there which made Sukant speechless...

Akshay : han sundar to hai...parantu tum kis soch mein par gaye..kya tum is kanya ko jante ho?..

Sukant (in a dreamy voice) : yugo yugo se...

Akshay : kya?? main kuch samjha nahi...

Sukant : tu samjhega bhi nahi...

Akshay : acha jane do...parantu hume aisa pratit hote hai k ye kanya isi rajmahal ki rehnewali hai...kadachit ye swayam rajkumari hi na ho??

Sukant (became confused and a little bit disappointed) : nahi hume aisa nahi lagta..

Akshay : chalo hume kya farq padta hai k ye kaun hai??hum is chitra ko mahal ki bacho ko sanp dete hai vo avasya jante honge ye kaun hai aur vo unhe wapas bhi de denge...

Sukant : nahi  bache ye chitra ko nast kar sakte hai...

Akshay : acha thik hai fir tum ise apne paas hi rakho..hum baad mein Digvijay se puch lenge...abhi chalo hume apne baki mitro ko bhi dhundna hai...sandhyakalin  ke utsav mein yogdaan bhi to dena hai...

Sukant : han chalo..
(he again looked at the painting and thinks..)
humara hriday keh raha hai ke ye rajkumari ki chitra nahi hai..parantu jinki hai vo avasya ye mahal mein hi rehti hai...aur na jane hume aisa kyu lagte hai ke hum unse baht i shighra milenge...

Ehsaas Kuchh Naya Sa (Part-3)

Rajpur Capital of Kamboj

after 3 days of journey Chandragupta , Digvijay and their friends reached to Rajpur the capital of Kamboj...here i need to say something about Kamboj..
      ..Kamboj was one of the 16 mahajanapadas of ancient India..but most remote among the all mahajanapadas...ancient kamboj is located in the Vally of hindukush ...its stretched to the pameer highland region...it was in the north-west of Gandhara...its location is in the present Afganisthan...being situated in such a hill region Kamboj never counted as powerful mahajanpad...actually the inhabitants of Kamboj were divided into different clans..so Kamboj never could represent himself as a united kingdom..some clans were of Iranian origin...as throughout the 6th-5thcentury B.C Kamboj and Gandhar region was the part of achaemenid empire of Persia..established by Darayus ...after the fall of Persian power on the hand of Greeks in Greco-Persian war they became free...but unlike Gandhara ...Kamboja couldn't establish himself a united powerful kingdom because of its social structure...and for the geographical location there happened a mixture of indo-iranian culture...though Kamboj had a kshatriya king who ruled the capital Rajpur (modern Rajori) and nearby areas..but the clans specially of the iranian origin refused to accept him as their king..so most of the mountainous clans enjoyed republican govt. in their own area...though because of the peaceful nature of present king those clans show their respect to him and except 1 or 2 they took part in crowning ceremony of prince Digvijay in the capital Rajpur...
    Kamboja in spite of being situated in the border of Aryavarta was naturally protected by Hindukush..there was only one way to reach there which was through Gandhara...so only possibility of Kamboja's being attacked by Sikandar was only if Gandhara would be under foreign control as in the time of Persian reign..so king of Kamboja is worried about prince Ambhik's friendly behavior with the yavanas and this is why he is in dilemma to be  agree in the proposal of the marrital allignment of Ambhik and princess Durdhara...although Ambhik is also invited to this ceremony...like other neighboring princes...but Ambhik will reach on the day of ceremony...
 
In The Royal Palace
...in the Royal Palace Chandragupta and his friends have been given a grand welcome...the fame of Chandragupta's bravery has been spread through Digvijay's letter and the spies..so people were gathered to watch him as well as their own prince...the King and Queen accepted him with the love same as they showed to their own son...after all that welcome ceremony...Chandragupta and his friends have been taken to the Atithishala...only Drakshita has been taken to the Andarmahal..Shashank without wasting time concentrated in the food brought by the servants...Aditya , Airavat and Ghanghor went to watch the collection of horses..as traders of Kambojas used to import best quality of Iranian horse from persia...horse trading was one of the main source of income of Kamboj..Akshay and Sukant along with the children of palace went to the garden...and Chandragupta alone was roaming in the palace...from one Mahal to another...first time he is watcing the inner sides of a royal palace..otherwise in his experience of entering in a royal palace was only limited to the king's court and the prison...suddenly a smile flashed in his face by recalling some words long long ago..as if of another birth..when he was standing in front of the royal palace of Magadh..with a great astonishment in his eyes

...kya hum apne ma ke sath is mahal mein reh sakte hai??...

din mein sapney mat dekh valak...

no its not a dream anymore...its an oath now...may be one day it will be true...but he would still remain alone..what if he would live an ordinary life like then..no no he has to get control over his emotion..he has come here to take part in the happiness of his friend..he must not be emotional...
...suddenly Chandragupta realized he has reached to the terrace of the palace...and may be its either side of the palace...he noticed there are colors scattered here and there and brushes and papers are rolling...and there was a paper seems something has been made on it was under the brushes..he sat on his knees and gently tried to lift it..and suddenly a jingling voice shouted from his back

..kaun ho tum??aur kiske anumati se andarmahal mein pravesh krne ki duhsahas kiya??...

..the voice made Chandu thrilled and the paper slipped from his hand a gusty air flowed the paper...

Ehsaas Kuchh Naya Sa (Part-2)

Royal Palace of Kamboj

...the Sun is setting in the western horizon by spreading its golden light in the western sky...the time is called twilight...this is the favorite time for princess Durdhara...she lives each and every moments of the beauty of twilight...Durdhara has just completed 12 years...the tale of her beauty has been started to spread in neighborhood states..and even proposal of marriage have also started to come..though King of Kamboj is not ready to get her married soon...but he kept  proposal from Gandhara under consideration...but Durdhara being an innocent child is not aware of this news...she is very calm and quiet in nature...her only concern is her paintings...colours are not only her passion but her ways of expressing herself...in the time of birth maharani was suffering from fever..so Durdhara took birth with a weak condition of heart...so doesn't have permission of playing,running or dancing like other..and being a princess she can't go out from palace too..except going to the temple...so her days are spent in paintings...her beauty is like her nature..very polite...its comparable with the moonlight...she is busy in mixing colours as she wants to capture this beauty in her creation...she didn't notice her best friend Subhadra has entered...she is daughter of an amatya and spends most of the time in palace.though she is only 13 years old...but she is a bit matured...


Subhadra : priyo sakhi...( in a excited voice)

Durdhara was fully absorbed in her paiting...so Subhadra's voice made her startled and colors fell from her han on the floor...she became upset...

Durdhara : Subhadra dekho tumne kya kar diya...hum kitne kast se ye rang banaye the...sab nast ho gaye..ab firse banani padegi...thora ahista nhi bol sakte the??

Subhadra : hame kshama krna sakhi..pr aap chinta na kare..ham punah sabkuch prastut kr denge...parantu bat hi kuch aise hai k hum khud ko rok na paye

Durdhara : acha??aisi kya bat hai..hum bhi to sune...

Subhadra: ap sunoge to aap khushiyo ke mare uchhal padoge...sandes hi kuch aise aye hai...

Durdhara : paheliyan mat bujhao aur bolo bhi...kis sandesh k vishay mein bat kr rahi hai??

Subhadra : ahan aise nhi batayenge rajkumari...pehle bataiye is shuv samachar k lie hume kaunsi puraskar milenge...

Durdhara (gettig angry): dusta aise hamari dharya k pareeksha to na le...hamare dhadkan tej hote ja rahe hai tu mujhe aur uttejit na kr...bata mujhe kiske sandes aye hai??...

Subhadra : wahi jinke lie pure rajmahal prateeksha kr rahe hai...ap jinhe panch varsh tak apne chitrakala ke jariye apna prem pohuchati rehti thi...woh kumar digvijay ne sandes bheje hai...

Durdhara : (doubtfully ) tu satya bol rahi hai na??

Subhadra : shapath visnu bhagwan ki...hum satya keh rahe hai..visvas nhi hai to ye dekho patra jahan kumar ne apne ane ke suchna bheje hai

Durdhara takes the bhurjpatra and gives a look on it...

then a feelings of immense pleasure flashed on Durdhara's face..a smile with her teeth like white pearls made her face as if most beautiful creation of God...she was very close to her brother Digvijay...5 years back when he left for gurukul..she used to remember him through is painting and was waiting for his come back..and at last the moment has come...she forgot that vaidji has prohibited her from being excited...she hugged Subhadra and started dancing by twirling on her toe...Subhadra asks her to stop but she was not in mood of hearing anything...but after some moments she became tired..as she has no habit of such kind of excitements.. Subhadra brought water and after drinking it Durdhara feels normal...

Subhadra : are rajkumari...apne to patra thik se padhi hi nahi..ekbar pr lijiye na kumar ne kya likha hai...

Durdhara reads the letter...her face expression changed...Subhadra becomes curious...

Subhadra : are rajkumari batayie na kumar ne kya likha hai...

Durdhara : bhratasree kuch hi dino mein rajmahal padhar rahe hai...

Subhadra : ye to hume gyat hai...parantu aap k muh pr khusi kyu nhi dikh rahe hai...

Durdhara : kaise dikhenge??bhratasree ne ye patra hume likhe hai...parantu patra mein humari baatein kam aur apne mitrao k prasansa jyada hai..kehte hai ke unke kuch mitra bhi aa rahe hai...aur pure patra mein to unke ek visesh mitra ke prasasti gatha nazar a rahe hai...

Subhadra : acha??kaunse visesh mitra???

Durdhara : honge koi Chandragupta...
