I have been having this burning desire to write a period drama, based on the rich cultural history we own. And before I know CGM takes a leap and we have the dashing lead, swinging swords at me, as if daring me to write one.
Much is not known about Chandra Gupta's youth and he ascended the Magadha throne at an early age of 20. However, it is expected he came under the teachings of the infamous kingmaker Chanakya, much earlier that that.
My fiction - entirely a spin off - will portray Chandra Gupta at 19 years of age (Lets keeps this tentative, until I confirm when he was done with Takshashila) , running away from the fields of Takshshila, burdened with the image of impending responsibility on this shoulder and the great expectations his teacher has of him.
For now its a SS which I'm calling it Anthapura...And of course, as I can only write what I'm best known for 😊...A love story between Chandra Gupta and an imaginary Megha Mantra, who I'm sure never was part of his life and our history.
But... please any words to discourage me from doing so are generously welcome...
Hasini
