Mahabharata Epic re telecast in with new artists crew. This forces me to make an analysis of characters and roles. Often, I get confused with the characters and think about the role justification. Again, wonder-when Krishna says 'ALL IS ME'...Quite interesting the flow is as I read and re-read. As I child, I liked Ramayana, then as I looked into life and various situations, I could get answers more from Mahabharata. I was thrilled by the ads floating about the relaunch of the Mahabharata episode on Star TV. I am happy to have watched the B.R. Chopra's Mahabharata.
