Epilogue: RTM
“Rishta Tera Mera”
“What are you reading?” The husband frowned as his wife remained hooked to the novel at hand, dismissing his presence.
“This book is so inspiring.” She placed it down on the table as she spoke. “A woman wrote it under a pseudonym.”
The man picked up the book and read the title “Barrister Babu?” He frowned “What is it about?”
“How a man encouraged a woman who dared to dream against society’s norms to follow her dreams and become a barrister alongside him.” The wife smiled.
The man shook his head, “All the fiction is eating up your head. Those stories are not true.”
“She claims it is. The writer claims she has witnessed this closely and knows these people.” She frowned. The man shrugged.
“She might have said so to sell her book.”
“True or not, some stories are worth telling because they inspire generations to come.” The woman shrugged. The man nodded silently.
“So you want to be a barrister?” he asked as she shook her head.
“No, after my matriculation, I want to study English. The author here says she was in Europe a good number of years before she came back to independent India.” The woman spoke dreamily, “Imagine if we ever go…” The man shook his head again.
“You and your novels. Why even read fiction?” He walked away.
True or not, some characters are worth believing in and getting inspired by. And with that hope, this author leaves you with a story very close to her heart, very special on its own and indeed worth sharing, over and over again.

Itihas ke Har Panne Ki Ek Bohot Bada Uddesh Hota Hai Jo Aap Aur Main Kabhi Samajh Nahi Paate. Shayad, Meera Bai Ki Bhakti Ki Panna Dhai Ke Sahas Ki Chittor ki Jauhar ke askon ki Ek Bohot Bada Uddesh Tha. Ek Pratap Ka Charo Or Phelne Ki Mewar Ke Suraj ki Roshni Ki. Mewar, a land in Rajputana, is nestled between the serene Aravallis. With its beautiful lakes and forestland, the yellow soil that witnessed warfare, and the mighty temples that stood as a testament to the Bhajans of Meera Bai, its history and folktales reflect stories of bravery, rebellion, and loyalty. Rana Sanga, the most famous of rulers who sat on the throne of Mewar, died unexpectedly, leaving Mewar in a state of uncertainty. Here is where this story begins. The year was 1535 CE, and Mewar's capital, Chittorgarh, stood invincible on the plateau surrounded by the Aravallis. The danger that loomed large after the king's demise was to the throne. Ratan Singh, the king's secondborn, was coronated rather quickly...
I'll tell you how I've been there too, and that none of it matters ~ Albatross. Jalal looked up the list of merit posted on the website and found that he had the option to choose between Agra and Delhi. Agra seemed more convenient to him, but he did not want to decide anything unless he spoke to Rukaiya about it. He wanted to include her in the decision-making so that she could talk to his father if needed. He knew his mother would not be very enthusiastic about him leaving home. Jalal entered his father’s headquarters well after lunch to be awkwardly greeted by the employees at the cubicles as he asked his father’s secretary to see Rukaiya. He did not know that she had a personal office. The last time she was an intern and working from the cubicle was when he had visited. The secretary informed him to wait in the lounge because she was in a meeting with the managers. Jalal, instead of sitting in the lounge area, roamed about the corridors, checking the boring posters on the wa...
We do not know exactly when Ajabde Punwar passed, but it was after the capital was shifted to Chawand, and we can assume it occurred between 1583 CE and 1597 CE. During the last few years of his reign, especially after the birth of his first grandson, Karan Singh of Mewar (Born on 1st August, 1583, according to Veer Vinod), to Aarti Bai Chauhan and Amar Singh I, Maharana Pratap decided to leave most of the administrative work to Amar, while he focused solely on rebuilding an army to regain the outpost at Chittorgarh which was under his half brothers rule who had joined the Timurids. The timeline also coincides with the time when a young Prince Salim, in one of his early expeditions, was injured in Mewar, and that prompted Akbar to remove Timurid outposts from Mewar (according to Akbarnama). However, the real reason was the constant attack on these outposts by Mewari Soldiers, and the cost of movement of these soldiers proved to be expensive for the emperor, who, after the Battle o...
