"Yudhistir will definitely keep his promise of not going for the war....at the same time he will protect the residents of Hastinapur with the help of other Pandavas....." Karna sighed and left Hastinapur

Krishna chuckled at the narration by Karna.

"What is there to laugh at?" Karna asked frowning at Krishna

Krishna said ,

"I am laughing at Duryodhan's ignorance.....Yudhistir was not able to protect his wife....but his wife was protected somehow...did anything happen to Draupadi? Was she really disrobed?" 

Karna said "No...she wasn't....because I reached there on the right time.." 

"Do you have a control over time, Angraaj?" Krishna questioned

"No..." Karna's frown relaxed for a few moments

"Vasudev....I am not ready to bring supernatural entities into this topic...." Karna pressed his lips crossing over his arms across his chest.

Krishna smiled

"What Yudhistir did was not right....he repented for it and he did get the punishment for his action....but did Duryodhan repent for his mistake? Is he ready to agree and accept his sin?" Krishna asked and his face turned serious

"Yudhistir expected support from Pitamah Bhishm and Guru Dron.....weren't they at fault too?" Krishna questioned gripping his fingers

"Maharaj Dridhrashtr did not stop the act.... wasn't he at fault?" Krishna looked at Karna

Karna closed his eyes for a few moments

"Who is the real sinner?" Karna asked and continued

"The father who did not teach his children good manners, an elderly person who lives in the illusion of following the path of dharm but unknowingly is in the path of adharm, five princes who can be corrected and taught the real meaning of dharm, hundred princes who do inhuman and insensitive activities, a mother who failed to protect her sons from evil thoughts, an uncle who uses his nephews just for destruction and fill their minds with poison, a guru who wanted his disciples to take revenge instead of teaching them the art of forgiveness, a man who is a failed friend , a son who did not listen to his parents, and a brother who always found his own brother as a competitor instead of being proud, a disciple who tricked the Guru to teach him archery....and at last a cousin who knows everything but just sits and sees the drama" Karna cried sitting next to Krishna with a thud

Krishna smiled and said "I don't understand about the cousin...who is he?" Krishna chuckled and continued

"Listen, Angraaj, The Pandavas can be shown the right path....but the Kauravas have been blindfolded by anger, jealousy, hatred and ego," Krishna examined Karna's features

"One good fruit cannot restore a hundred completely rotten fruits, Angraaj" Krishna continued

"Instead, the good one will rot if it is kept among the rotten ones," Krishna looked at Karna with a smiling face

"But the rotten fruits should be buried inside the ground so that their seeds give rise to new plants..." Krishna said

"The half rotten fruits can be relished if their rotten parts are cut and thrown away," Krishna 

"And the fresh fruit can be relished without any harm," concluded

"I am an unripe fruit....I mean...I am still raw but fresh....I don't want to be eaten up, or cut or buried..." Karna chuckled and said

"Your words are really magic..." 

"Of course...even Mama shree Shakuni calls me a trickster..." Krishna said with satisfaction

"You still did not know the reason for my visit..." Krishna said

"Wasn't this the reason?...To talk about Hastinapur...."

"No Angraaj! You began talking about brother Duryodhan....I came here for a special prupose..." Krishna said

"For what?" Karna questioned

"Many more happy returns of the day, Angraaj" Krishna said and ordered someone to bring the gift

"But.. tomorrow is my birthday ...." Karna cried confudsed

"No Angraaj....You were born to Kunti bua on this day....and your parents Radha and Adirath found you the next day and they celebrated the day you were found as your birthday," Krishna said

"It was indeed a pleasant surprise for me. I have to go and seek Mata Kunti's blessings..." Karna said 

He looked at the door with surprise..

He saw his mother, the one who had given birth to him, was standing with tears in her eyes.

Karna smiled at her and went to touch her feet. Kunti gently touched his hair and kissed his forehead. 

"You were this much when you were born..." Kunti showed Karna with her hand gesture

Karna smiled and he felt a sudden jerk when his mother hugged him tight.

"Its time for gifts..." Krishna said and called someone,

Kunti took something from the plate and showed it to Karna

"This is a special bow gifted to you by Lord Suryadev..." Kunti smiled and gave it to Karna

"Wow! This is the same bow...with which Pitashree controlled my tears..." Karna cried with excitement

"Thank You all so much!" Karna looked at Kunti and Krishna and then at the blazing sun.
