Smriti [Phase 1]

Prologue/intro

C H A P T E R - 1

It was a hot summer afternoon. A young girl no older than sixteen walked furiously towards the banks of the river Narmada to soothe herself from the rays of the scorching sun. Her blue skirt fluttered in the light breeze, which blew now and then around the river. Messy wisps of hair stuck to her sweaty forehead, which she desperately tried to remove. Sweat trickled down from her neck to the blouse she wore, and with each sweat droplet that drenched her blouse, her steps turned hastier.

"Why can't people visit fairs in the evenings? Crowd the market area when the sun is down! What's so good about enjoying fairs and markets in hot summer afternoons where everyone sticks to one another?" The girl talked to herself. "What was Maa telling me in the morning? 'It's going to be crowded in the evening. Better go in the afternoon.' What on earth was that crowd there?" She picked a nearby pebble and flung it towards the Narmada.

Her anger seemed to cool down as she neared the river bed. Kneeling on the rocky, gravelly surface, she scooped some water in her hands and splashed it on her face, saying, "Oh, Narmada! Thank you for providing me with your cool and refreshing water." After thanking the river, she sat on one of the large rocks near the river and dipped her feet into the water.

Narmada, also called Reva, one of the holiest rivers to flow in Bharatvarsha, flew through the kingdom of Avanti. Her water was revered by Rishi Markandeya, and her banks narrated stories of learned men earning spiritual enlightenment. This river, though famous for learned men and sages, also helped trade to flourish on the lands she flew through. It connected Avanti to the kingdoms on the western coast, thus establishing strong trade relations that profited Avanti immensely.

Meanwhile, the young girl, after refreshing herself by the river shifted her attention to the activities on the opposite side of the river bank. A few local women were drawing water in their pots. Three boats were tied together to a nearby tree, and a fishnet lay aside them. A group of children played with mud balls and sticks on the soil. She picked up a pebble and was about to throw it in the river when a voice stopped her.

"Umm... I would appreciate it if you would enjoy the scenic view rather than throwing pebbles in the river. The splashing sound distracts me from my work."

The girl swiftly turned to her right and saw a young boy standing with a paintbrush in his hand. A canvas stood next to him, and some paint bottles were neatly placed on the ground. She got up and walked towards the boy.

"You're a painter, I see. What are you painting?" she asked and took a peep at the canvas. It contained a beautiful painting of the Narmada river. Blue-green hues depicted the calm waters of the holy river and the dense trees that grew beside the river. Strokes of yellow, orange and red beautifully showed the sun and the afternoon sky.

"This is so... beautiful. These colours have such a calming effect on the eyes. You have wonderfully captured the serenity of Narmada into this painting." The girl looked at the painting longingly. "This painting makes me want to lose myself into these colours."

Her eyes drifted towards the river once again, and she sighed. The boy had done a marvellous job of painting the river, its banks and the sky. He had also painted the women and children she had seen on the opposite bank, which added more life to the painting.

The young painter blushed a little at the praise he received from the girl. Scratching the back of his neck, he replied, "Thank you so much...?" He trailed off and looked at her in question, not knowing what to address her as. The girl hadn't introduced herself, nor had he.

Even the girl realized later that they hadn't introduced themselves to each other. "Well, call me Smriti. What's your name, painter boy?" She asked with a cheerful smile.

"Ekaksh."

Smriti whispered the boy's name to herself. Ekaksh was another name for Lord Shiva, too. She scanned the boy from top to bottom after he introduced himself, as she had been busy admiring the painting and hadn't looked at the boy closely.

Ekaksh looked as fresh and serene as the Narmada. He had a beautiful pair of brown eyes and curly lashes, which added more beauty to his eyes. Smriti was charmed by his eyes. Her eyes moved down to his lips that were light pink, similar to the colour of lotus petals.

He wore a plain white robe which was stained with paint. Even though his clothes had turned messy and crinkled, to Smriti, he looked angelic. She had seen many boys before him but had never seen one like him, someone who looked mystic, angelic, and innocent at the same time. His cheeks appeared slightly red, which amused Smriti. When she realized that his beautiful blush was her doing, she couldn't help but smile to herself.

The sound of the koel brought Smriti back to her surroundings. Clearing her throat, she asked Ekaksh, "So, where do you live, Ekaksh? I am new here. I came here with my family to visit my aunt and her family. They live in the fifth lane of Pushpabagha locality."

"Pushpabagha is not very far from my place. I live in the royal palace-"

"What?! Is that true? Do you really live in the royal palace? Near the Queen?" Smriti asked, her eyes wide in surprise and excitement. She scanned his appearance again. "You don't look like a prince, though. I have heard about the twins — one of them is named Rathish, isn't it? The other one, who was he? I have heard his name, but I cannot remember it now."

Ekaksh chuckled. "Looks like the younger twin is remembered by most females here. My friend would feel sad that his younger brother has more popularity than him."

Smriti gasped at him. Keeping her hands on her chest, she said, "Don't tell me that you are friends with the princes! And as for me, remembering Kumar Rathish, I overheard some of the local children speaking about him before I arrived here."

Ekaksh threw his head back in laughter. Folding his arms across his chest, he continued to look at Smriti and asked, "If I live in the palace, why won't I be friends with the princes? I have known them since we were children."

Smriti was shocked. She had never thought of him having any connections with the royal family. However, she had no wish to know about the princes but the queen, for she had been her idol since Smriti was thirteen.

"Well, forget the princes. You can tell me about those two later — tell me about the queen! Have you talked to her? I have heard so many great things about her. She has also earned a lot of respect in my homeland, in Kashi. My mother told me about the queen when I was thirteen, and she has been my inspiration ever since then."

There was a shine in Ekaksh's eyes. He had a proud smile over his lips and looked down to the ground. "You see, my mother works with the maharani in financial matters, and I have known her sons since we were kids, so I have daily interactions with her. The queen is a noble lady who has run the kingdom so efficiently after the king's demise," his voice turned slightly emotional at the mention of the late king, "and has earned the love and loyalty of the common folk and the courtiers."

He stared at the tree behind Smriti, his face all grim. "People can't accept women ruling them. They cannot tolerate women as leaders. It took some time for her to settle amidst the various rumours and conspiracies that had hatched after the king's death. I have seen it all. In royal life, sometimes the people whom we consider friends turn out to be the biggest foes.

Smriti stayed quiet and continued to look at the boy. His face no longer carried the sweet, bashful innocence but something painful, perhaps a painful realization? She wondered if this was also the reason why his eyes looked so deep as if they had seen a lot and known a lot? Realizing that it was rude to stare at someone, she looked down and counted the stones on the ground.

'Aha, fifteen stones!' She counted mentally.

"Counting stones isn't an interesting activity, Smriti. Do tell me something about yourself."

And just like that, the cheery self of the painter returned.

***

As I said, I would post Smriti here too. We are here with the first chapter this was written 2 years ago please excuse me for my mistakes. I will edit and rewrite some parts later for the book, but for now I want to write the full story. Thank you for reading

Also do tell me if you want to be added to the Smriti tag list plij. I need to save your ids in my notes for the taglists

jagadeka veerudu athiloka sundari - part one

Masterlist

The Sun rose early by the banks of the river Narmada and shone lovingly on the kingdom of Sundarsi, its gentle rays caressing each and every citizen to wake them up. A bunch of girls looked around and giggled to themselves, racing to the river and diving in. They splashed and laughed in the waters, the cold of the river and the warmth of the Sun making them shiver in delight.

One of the girls walked out and sat by the river bed, watching the others with a soft smile on her face. “Your Majesty,” the girls in the river called out as they followed her to the shore, sitting down behind her. Silence ensued as they calmly watched the kingdom spring to life and work, and the youngest of them went to sit beside the one in front of them all.

“Your Majesty,” the little one began, making the princess look down towards her, “do you really think the prophecy will come true?” Everyone froze, looking at their princess as she sighed, pulling her knees closer to her chest. “Shiva has never lied to us, little one. But at the same time, he never stopped us from proving him wrong either.”

“Only one person has managed to prove their destiny wrong till now, and it was your mother. Do you think you can do it too, Your Majesty?” The princess smiled at those words and looked back at the girls, the defiant gleam in her eyes making them smile too. “Of course I can, Janaki. I have been named after our Lord’s consort too, isn’t it a lady’s duty to prove her man wrong?” The princess stood up, the girls behind her quickly following her as they all turned and walked off to their horses, heading back to the palace.

Aarya raced back to her palace, walking inside as she smiled at everyone. The water still dripping from her garments left her trace all over the palace as her guards followed her wordlessly, stopping just as she entered the throne room, every official standing up and bowing to greet her.

“There better be a good reason as to why we are having an emergency meeting so early on a day that’s meant to be off, Mantriji,” Aarya softly said, stopping in front of the throne. She looked at it for a moment, the power of the chair daunting. She sat in the chair next to the empty throne, looking down at the ministers and officials.

They all shifted under her gaze nervously, the prime minister clearing her throat slowly. “Your Majesty, I’m afraid we might have a new threat swarming around. We need to have you crowned Queen as soon as possible.” Anjasi, Sundarsi’s Prime Minister, was an old woman who was once their Army General, moving up in ranks to serve the kingdom for more than three decades. She had seen all the princesses grow, and knew of all their strengths and weaknesses.

Aarya watched her as she stepped forward, a scroll in her hand. She knelt down in front of the throne, head hung down as the scroll was taken from her hand and given to Aarya. “What we had anticipated is happening, Your Majesty. Mahishmati has begun looking into their books and every other territory they’ve conquered for information about us. I heard their general Kattappa has been put up to the task by the king’s father, Bijjaladeva.”

Aarya hummed, setting the scroll aside and leaning forward. “And what of the king? Is Bhallaladeva also as invested in wanting us as his father?” Anjasi shook her head while their Army General, Sadhana spoke up. “Bhallaladeva is focused on being just a ruthless dictator at this point, Your Majesty. Neither does he want anything to do with his father’s whims, or… or a queen.” the general scowled to herself, her grip on her chair tightening. “In kingdoms like Mahishmati, women have only been feared during the reign of Rajamata Sivagami, but after she died along with the crown prince a few months ago, no woman has graced that lonely palace.” Aarya bit her lip, turning to the guards.

“Please call the chief priest inside.” the priest entered, smiling as the princess stood up to greet him. “Good morning, Your Majesty. How can I help you?”

“When can the coronation take place, Guruji? I’m sure you can find the most auspicious day pretty quickly.”

“Three days from now, Your Majesty. After the Sun sets in the presence of the full moon would be the most auspicious time for you.” Aarya nodded, smiling at him as she walked down to the prime minister. “Make it a grand event, Mantriji. The grandest coronation to ever happen, since we will be having visitors too this time.”

Murmurs grew in the hall as Aarya straightened, clapping once. “If that is all, I believe I have other matters to tend to. See you all later.” Eyes followed the crown princess leave, the murmurs in the hall turning into arguments as Anjasi and Sadhana exchanged long glances, sighing to themselves.

— — —

Aarya walked to the temple inside her palace, the Moon glowing in the rose golden sky along with the Sun above her head as the priests bowed to her, leaving her alone. The temple was her only point of solace within the many storms that raged in her palace and kingdom, and people knew not to disturb her as she sought peace in the embrace of their Shiva.

The golden light in the temple caressed Aarya as she touched the statue of Nandi, brushing specks of dust off of him and placing a gentle kiss to Nandi right on top of his head. She looked up and walked to the idol of Lord Shiva, a small smile on her face as she sat down in his room amidst the diyas and offerings placed around him.

The white marble idol of Lord Shiva was made to celebrate her birth, the biggest and most magnificent idol ever made in the history of Sundarsi. Aarya grew unimaginably attached to that particular idol, Shiva’s serene face and presence her only source of hope and light. She closed her eyes, leaning forward to rest her forehead against Shiva’s foot as she murmured the slokas under her breath, trying to calm herself down. “You’ve always made me aware of how you were there for me at every single step I took in my life,” Aarya spoke in a whisper, looking up at Shiva as the sky darkened behind her. “Please help me out now, will you? I need you and I am unsure of my decisions. I don’t want the prophecy I was born with to come true, and yet I don’t know what to do in order to make sure it doesn’t. Please, stay with me this time too.”

“Shiva never leaves you, Aarya,” her guruji’s voice made her turn around, seeing the old man stand a few feet away from her. “In fact, I believe you’re Mahadev’s favourite of us all. You say it yourself, you’ve been named after his consort, and that is for a reason too. He chose you, Aarya, to rule and to do so much more despite whatever your parents wanted for you.”

Aarya stood up, walking to touch the feet of the priest as he blessed her, patting her cheek affectionately as she straightened again. “Your parents never wanted you to rule, but that was a part of your name and destiny that was written so long ago for you. Admitted, some parts of it aren’t the very best, but I think that makes it all the more important for you to believe and hope, Aarya. Mahadev named and raised you, don’t give up on his upbringing just yet.”

Aarya smiled faintly, turning back to the idol as the Moon shone its light on top, reflecting on the marble. Shiva’s eyes twinkled wisely in the moonlight as Aarya looked at him, lost in thought.

— — —

Anjasi and Sadhana sat together in the library, going through scrolls and books silently. Sadhana looked up and sighed, taking her glasses off and resting her head back. “Do you really think it’s alright to invite those people for the coronation? I have a bad feeling about it.” Anjasi rolled her eyes and set her quill and scroll aside, frowning at the general. “You know Her Majesty has done this for a reason, right? She’s got something in her mind, don’t you think? Considering how unpredictable our queen-to-be is, I’m actually a little excited for the coronation.”

Sadhana sighed again, nodding. Anjasi returned to writing on her scroll, and Sadhana quipped, “That is to be sent to the general of Mahishmati, if I am not wrong. It’s the invite to the coronation isn’t it? To Bhallaladeva and the other kings under him.”

“Just Bhallaladeva and anyone important he wishes to bring, we don’t need a crowd. I need to plan the rest of the coronation, could you give this to the messenger?” Sadhana nodded and took the scroll, rolling it as Anjasi stood up. “She’s getting crowned on Kartik Purnima, Mantriji. She’s our only princess to get crowned on such a day, that too during the night, in the presence of someone who is not our own. These are all signs about her prophecy.” Anjasi stopped in front of the door, turning back to Sadhana. “These are all signs, Senadhipati, of her working to change her prophecy. Wait and watch, she will surprise you.”

As Anjasi left, Sadhana smiled at the scroll in her hand. “Isn’t that what we all want?”

— — —

Kattappa knocked once and entered the throne room, kneeling in front of Bhallaladeva with the scroll in his hand. Bhalla frowned, reaching for it as Bijjaladeva looked on curiously. “It is an invitation, Your Majesty,” Kattappa paused, a frown etched on his face. “From the crown princess of Sundarsi, Her Majesty Aarya. She’s inviting you to her coronation in Sundarsi in three days.”

Bijjaladeva stood up, excitement and glee on his face as Bhallaladeva read through the scroll repeatedly, his eyes staying on the signature at the end of the scroll. Aarya’s name was etched into the paper with blood red ink neatly, her beautiful writing looking like embroidery on the otherwise seemingly normal scroll.

“This is it, Bhalla, I'm telling you! She got scared and called us to offer her country right there, I just know it!”

Bhalla rolled his eyes and looked up, frowning at his father. “She didn’t get scared, Nanna. This isn’t an invitation from a coward.” He turned to Kattappa, gauging his reaction. “And what do you think, Kattappa? Is she scared?”

“She wants to see us for herself, in my opinion. Check how powerful we are, before making her move. She’s not scared, Your Majesty.” Kattappa’s words made Bhalla smirk as he stood up, flexing his arms. He walked to his sword placed in front of the idol of the goddess Durga and picked it up, observing the shine on the metal.

“If that’s what she wants, we can’t disappoint a princess so new into this game, can we? Make the preparations, Kattappa, we leave at dawn.” The sword glinted dangerously in the light and he turned back to his father, the smirk on his face sinister.

“She has more chances of dying by my blade than sitting beside me to rule, I can assure you that Nanna. You’ll see for yourself.”

Jawan Movie Review: SRK's Dual Mastery

"Jawan" is a riveting Bollywood drama that showcases Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) in a dual role as Azad Rathore, a prison officer with a mission to clear his father's name, and Vikram Rathore, a police officer turned Robinhood working for the betterment of citizens. Directed by Atlee, the film masterfully intertwines the destinies of these characters, leaving audiences guessing about their true identities. Nayanthara shines as the senior cop Narmada Rai, while Vijay Sethupathi adds a touch of quirkiness as a global weapons dealer. The ensemble cast, including Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, and Lehar Khan, further enriches the narrative. Anirudh Ravichander's background score elevates the film's ambiance, and G.K. Vishnu's cinematography, especially the slow-motion sequences, is visually captivating. Despite its minor flaws, "Jawan" stands out for its compelling storyline, stellar performances, and Atlee's impeccable direction. The film is a cinematic roller-coaster and a must-watch for Bollywood enthusiasts, earning a well-deserved 4 out of 5 stars.

What Are the Best Things To Do During Your Stay In Lombok

While Bali has long dominated Indonesia's tourism industry, Lombok is swiftly catching up and is expected to overtake it as one of the most opulent travel destinations in South East Asia. Here are some of the top things to do in Lombok:

Trek Mount Rinjani:

The massive Mount Rinjani, also known as GunungRinjani in the local language, is the second-highest volcanic mountain in Indonesia, towering above the island of Lombok. The mountain, which towers over the entire island of Lombok and rises to a height of more than 3,700 metres above sea level, is one of the most well-known hikes in the entire globe.

Explore Gili Air:

The closest island to Lombok is Gili Air, one of Indonesia's three Gili Islands, and it offers the best of both worlds in terms of tranquil vacation or nightlife. The newest of the Gili islands has everything for everyone, from temples to waterfalls, seaside shacks to hidden surf areas, along with cosy cafes and nightlife hotspots.

Enjoy Snorkelling Tours:

Due to its exceptional underwater clarity and lush coral reefs, Lombok is well known for snorkelling excursions in the Indian Ocean. Snorkeling is a laid-back way to encounter colourful fish, amiable turtles, and rays in the clear, warm seas, making it ideal for families and adventurers. From April through July, Lombok's prime snorkelling spots include Medana Bay, Kuta Beach, and Tangsi Beach.

Unwind in Air Kalak Hot Springs:

Air Kalak Hot Springs, touted as the ideal location in Lombok to unwind and meditate. The intriguing spring, said to have therapeutic volcanic mineral characteristics.

Visit Narmada Water Park:

In 1727, early inhabitants in Lombok did something more to allow people to enjoy the water on the island by constructing the exquisite Narmada Water Park. This public park, designed to replicate Mount Rinjani's shape, contains exquisite gardens, a pool resembling Rinjani's lake, and historically significant temples devoted to Lord Shiva. In addition, there is a natural spring near the pool that is thought to be the Fountain of Youth, with the ability to prolong life.

Keeping all these tourist activities in mind, reliable Lombok villa investment could be an ideal option for investors looking for a high return. Many investors across the globe have shown interest in Lombok, but particularly those from Jakarta, Singapore, and Hong Kong who see the island's potential for growth into one of South East Asia's premier luxury travel destinations.Lombok is still a hidden treasure, and it's worth checking out for long-term, high-return investments in contrast to the fiercely competitive market of Bali.
