About this listen

Long time ago, Ashwatthama, a great warrior, was cursed by Lord Krishna to walk the lands with a curse of a bleeding forehead and boils on his skin, for choosing violence instead of forgiveness.

He's said to walk even today—amongst the people. And many have seen him.

Hari, a seemingly idyllic librarian, who goes on his life, is haunted by the visions of Ashwatthama, so much so that he's whisked into unpredictable situations featuring—icy demigods, an ancient sword made from the fires of a demon and an unspeakable evil that has risen to exact his vengeance.

All this while, he must learn his true identity and embrace the hero within.

From the chapters of Mahabharata comes a modern-day spin on the fabled hero or villain, to learn and understand how he lives and saves the current world.

This one brilliantly weaved ancient Indian scriptures with modern science fiction, creating a potent mix of anticipation and thrill. Its compelling length made it impossible to stop, turning the experience into a marathon session. The story remains largely engaging and enjoyable.

Decent listen.
