MB12-All is fair in love and war!
At least that is how the saying goes and many of us really think so! But not so in a war that was meant to be a war of righteousness – or Dharmayuddha.

MB11-Drona – The Ancient Indian test-tube baby!
Today we are all familiar with the procedure called In-Vitro Fertilization, which has come as a boon to many a mother who cannot conceive naturally.
In common parlance, the babies born by such a procedure are called ‘test tube babies’, though they are really not born in a test tube per se. Only the fertilization of ovum by the sperm takes place outside the body of the would be mother, in a Petri dish – ‘test tube’ under controlled conditions.
But not so, in the case of Drona – if you believe what the story says. Drona was a true test tube baby!

MB10-Winning by ‘hook or crook’!
After the fall of Bhishma, there was some hope that the war would end. Bhishma tried his best to dissuade the Kauravas from further massacre.
But the evil Kauravas were far from reforming. They somehow wanted to eliminate the Pandavas ‘by hook or crook’ as they say.

MB08-Shikandi – a transgender hell bent on revenge!
Even great people commit heinous mistakes. So did Bhishma. And the result was Shikandi.
In his previous birth, Shikandi was the eldest of the three daughters of King of Kashi. In that birth his name was Amba. How Amba became Shikandi is a sad story which we will discuss now.

MB07-Bhishma’s Achilles heel!
As promised to the Kauravas, Bhishma continued to wreak havoc on the Pandava army day in and day out. Thousands of soldiers and great warriors on the Pandava side were killed by raging Bhishma.

MB06-What do you do if God wants to kill you?!
When you are in difficulties and when your life itself is at stake, you pray to God for help. What if God himself tries to attack you? You have no one else to turn to. Nor you can do anything to protect yourself.
That is what exactly must have happened to Bhishma.
