Hi,
My name s Rahul and as an avid reader of various versions of the Mahabharat, I must say this is one of the more imaginative re tellings that I have come across.
The breadth and scope of your work along with its detailed backstory is astounding and I really cant wait for the next episode. This is not just one of the better reworkings of this magnificent story but a fantastic sci-fi/ fantasy story on its own. :D
In fact when I started reading it, I couldnt stop and landed sitting up till 4 in the morning reading it.
So please keep the episodes coming and thank you for the fantastic story so far. :D

Great stuff. You continue to surprise me. Eagerly awaiting the next installment. On a side note, what prompted you to undertake this endeavor?

On a side note, what prompted you to undertake this endeavor?

Because it was in my brain and I wanted to write it down, and then some friends read it and encouraged me to post it. Um, that's basically it!

I'm doing well, but I'm suffering from massive editor's block. I will try my best to pull off a double-update within the next two weeks, though.

Thank you very much for your ego-boosting comments and words of support! They really do help me a lot. ^__^

Great work as always. I had an exam today and instead of studying for it, I spent the night reading the latest chapters.
I am a little confused by your note before the last chapter. Does this mean that you are done writing this story? I really hope not. Even if you post the next stuff after a year, it would be amazing. Please don't stop writing this story.

Does this mean that you are done writing this story?

For now, yes. But I *will* be posting some more material - namely some unfinished drafts and the upcoming Master Outline - to this livejournal soon-ish, so please look forward to it!

I really appreciate all of your encouragement and support. But right now I really just can't work on this story any more. ^^;;

I understand. I just hope that at some point in future, you decide to start writing this again. Its truly an amazing piece of writing and I think its a brilliant take on one of best epics that mankind has produced. So best of luck to you in whatever you are doing instead of this. Its been a pleasure reading your work.
