7 years later....

      Time never stops for anyone.

      This seven years is very fruitful for 'Karna'.

      He is now 15 years old now, reaching adolescent period, he is well build, broad shoulders not very muscular but lean,flexible,muscle packed physique,has 6 tight abdominal packs , over 5 feet nearing 6 feet in height. Black shoulder length open hair. Hawk-eye. Angular facial features, fair skin tone' sun redient skin. He is wearing dusty golden ring shaped earrings. ( Divine and superior grade items can chenge colour, forms and can be hidden at will. )

     He is wearing old dark full shirt (kimono style, but narrow sleeves) , sleeves folded tightly gripping arm forearm muscles. Old White Kurta style pants folded and tightly gripping his lower leg muscles, barefoot, Holding a wood cutting axe on right hand and splitting firewood at his backyard. 

     'Radha' looked her son and smiled and said in louder tone " look, how handsome my son has became, all girls in neighbourhood ogling you. "

     Listening to his mother Karna' smiled wryly and shake his hand helplessly.

     Seeing her helpless son 'Radha' smiled happily she also knows 'Karna' is few words person. She said, " ok ok go freshen up and come for lunch quickly. All food has has been prepared if you are late food will be cooled down. "

     Karna' replied in easy manner, " ok mother".

     After lunch he took little bit of rest then goes to neighbourhood for lending helping hand .

       While helping others he heard that Maharaj Pandu' has passed away a week ago, because Maharaj Pandu' and his Wife 'Madri' had intimacy, thus lead to his death due to curse . For this Maharani 'Madri' blame herself  so she went 'Sati' with her husband. While leaving his two 7 year old son 'Nakul' and 'Sahadev' to mata 'Kunti'.

     Rajmata 'Kunti' alone with Pandavs' coming to 'Hastinapur' a week later.

     At evening after Surya Puja and 'Shiva' Puja he sat down under a tree and thinking what has happened till now and what will happen later.

     He knows that Bhagwan Sri 'Krishna'

Has taken birth and now, he is over 8 years old,  he is now in 'Gokul'. He knows he is Lord 'Vishnu's 8th Avatar.

      He heard rumours that 'Kauravs' were neglected in the 'Hastinapur' Palace.

     In 'Dwapar yuga' 'Adhram' is spreading everywhere , male dominated society where women has less value in society. People are doing 'Adhram' in name of 'Dharm'. People are misunderstanding the 'Vedas'. 'Vedas' says that caste is based on Karma and talent, not how people are born.

       Jast as Maharishi 'Vishwamitra' was 'Kshatriya' but he decided to became Rishi based on his talent hard work, so  in his work he is 'Brahmins' ,now he knows as Maharishi 'Vishwamitra'.

     Same is Bhagwan 'Parshuram' he was born in 'Brahmins' family. But he decided to take violence route to clean 'Adhrami'

  Rulers , and freed countless people from corrupted leaders. So in his Karma he 'Kshatriya'. He also known as Lord 'Vishnu' s 6th avatar.

     He also got news that at the Border region of 'Hastinapur' villages are not  prosperous as nearby places.

They are getting not sufficient food, they are living hard life because Rulers of the area increased the tax ammount. In the name of building a new temple and Palace.

     Women has no power in society  Maharani 'Gandhari' is in name . She has no seat at royal court.

  Thinking this he release a long sigh and goes to sleep.

Next day..

     In past 7 years he honed himself to be a warrior. He also learnt to reserve himself.

Inside of the forest at the walking distance of his tree house he found a hidden cave behind waterfall. he made his workshop there.

    At noon he is meditating under the waterfall.

He is now 'Ardh Rathi' caliber warrior.

    In Archery he now at Mastar level.

He learnt all basic shots and High level shots. He is now learning Bending shot.

In Swordsmanship he almost at Mastar level. He can now shadow practice, he has precise control over when to apply more force wen to apply less force.

In Axemanship he almost at Mastar level.

In unarmed combat he can apply all styles in his own fighting style.

    He learnt how to control his emotions.

At the evening when he coming back from helping Neighbourhood and doing his daily Puja . He smelled and Heard his father resting in home and talking to his mother.

    He said to his mother,  " I have came, mother is there any heavy work has left to do."

    His mother said that in loude voice," no beta, now come inside of the house quickly, your father has come early today. "

     He said "ok mother I'm coming. "

He walked inside his house saw his father sitting beside his mother.

His father also looked him an smile and said," Look how big you have become, when you will work, next time if I have time I will help you to learn to drive and  repair a chariot, how to take care horses. "

   Karna' after hearing his father a wry smile from his eyebrows are twitching. He came to them and bend down and touch their feet then said," mother, father pranam."

    They also blessed him . "Ayushman vaba," " sada sukhi raho. "(  May live long, be happy ).

He sat down down beside them and asked his father, " Baba, how come today you are early father it's like you came few hours ago. What happened? Is everything all right? "

His father said with smile," Today Rajmata Kunti' coming with Pandavs' so today is a celebration will be held in palace. "
