The points and scenes that i loved.

1. Shiva is a ‘cool dude’ and his sense of humour,depictions.predictions etc .The picture of Shiva on the book which makes foreigners to awestruck at that macho look of our God and also to compare with their heroes Gladiator,Sparta king or wateva. I love to Hrithik in the karan’s film.

2. Wow the love story man! Amish would have loved Preeti which he reciprocated the same – Shiva is flirt, Shiva is fooled sometimes by Sati, Shiva didnt understand her heart previously etc etc. \\The Sexy scene Shiva lets Sati to fight and in Agnipariksha despite others’ beliefs that she would lose to tarak which helps Sati to start love as she got that ‘RESPECT’.

3.the Battle Sequence is awsome from start to end preparations.One of the initial Disbeliever of Neelkanth,Parvateshwar Calls Shiva ‘My Lord’ when Shiva comes LIVE into battle field and later Vraka reactions.Everyone start shouting Har Har Mahadev after inspiring speech form Shiva.
(Har Har Mahadev interpretation was kiraaak, keka, masth hey). But that Tortoise thing is expected and not new for modern world after many films.

4.Vasudev Pundit Good n Evil conversations , Maika System , Badges , Weed addict shiva, confusing Vikarma System , Oxygen – Oxidants thing , Third eye suspense , Mohandejaro , Egypt trades etc are awesome innovative depiction on facts of fiction wateva.

5.Shiva answer ”I would like it if you killed for Meluha ” to Drapahu words ‘We want to die for our country’ . Vidyu Veer tilak on Drapahu when he lead his Vikarma team to the pass.

Confusions and answers which i might find in next books:
1. Blue throat and Shiva origin – Smudra Mantham
2.Queen and Hooded man.
3.Bhagirath and Dilipa are supposed to be from Suryavamsh
4.Entrance of Brungi like Nandi
5.the Lingam concept and contrversy if cleared in the book.

hARA HARA MAHAVDEV .. Shambho sankara.
Chalo its tym to start the Secret of Nagas which is in my hand tigh now.

First of all, I must applaud you on being so accessible to your readers even after the huge success of your book. It is insightful and exciting getting a glimpse behind the scenes so to speak of your work and your current views and responses to your readers queries, doubts and even ’shikayats’ !! Thank you very much indeed.

And thank you ‘admin’ for your perceptive take on the book which allowed many of us a new and more rich re-reading of the book.

Amish, do hurry up on the second book and wishing you an even greater success !

PS this is my first time reading anything on Hindu mythology and i think i am going to continue

The book is expansive in ideas, but lacks depth. Few observations from the book prose.

1. A million casualties in the war, and everybody carries on as routine without a feel for the unfolded tragedy including the conduct of the Kings on either side at the end of the war. The characters behave according to the author’s style of “make it quick and move on”, and hence seem out of a realistic context in their reaction (or rather lack of it). They seem to be mulling “Cant wait out here, the author is asking us to run to the next….”

2. Vikarma’s abrogation is treated so casually. A big thing for a highly disciplined society, but it is done so casually that there is no reaction from the society and the author did not deal with it at all.

There are several more points where the author could have brought depth for its appreciation by the readers. Lets not assume that while today’s youth seeks easy read and contemporary language, they are ready to swallow glossing over intricate issues.

Amish: What do you say?

Well written and good read none the less and a 6/10.
