An original epic poem inspired from the longest story of the world “Mahabharta”, written by our student Sashrika Prasad.

Sashrika is 12 years old, a young writer from Gurugram. The beautiful colors, flowers, and sunsets encourage her to write about deep emotions and feelings. We are proud to have her as a student of the Little Writers Program, an Online Creative Writing Program using Applied Storytelling & Applied Theatre tools under the mentorship of Trainer Khusshbo Chokhaani. We congratulate Sashrika for this exemplary true self-expression.

The Game of Dice

After Yudhishthira’s yajna,

Duryodhana did not wish to leave Indraprastha,

He was astonished by the beautiful illusions,

He wished to enter a door but fooled by hallucination.

He hit his head because it wasn’t a door,

Further inside he tried entering a pool,

But was tricked,

Because it was glass and Duryodhana was pricked,

In the corner, the Pandavas were taking pleasure.

Later he fell into the pool,

Which looked like glass thin,

While Draupadi mocked him,

He took envious of the Pandavas,

Complained to his uncle for his being emulous.

While Shakuni his uncle spoke,

You can’t take it by force,

And cooked up a scheme device,

The Game of Dice.
