Chitra was born as a girl to a family who had a boon from
lord Shiva to have a son in every generation. Chitra then decided to live her
life as a man. She didn’t know any of what women’s did. This is a drama that
has Madana, Vasanta and Arjuna as its characters. Chitra had always heard about
Arjuna and his strength. She was dressed in a warrior dress when she mets
Arjuna and fells in live with her. Arjuna goes on denying her and vanishes in
front of her eyes. She then tells this story to Madana and Vasanta. She asks
for a day of a feminism in her. Instead they grant her a year of beauty. The
next time Arjuna meets Chitra, he falls in love with her. He would give up his
12 years of vow of chastity. They share private time together. Chitra after
realizing who she is runs away from Arjuna the next morning after she realizes
what she did to Arjuna. I really like this part of the story. This makes me
think about many things that I desire in this life and sometimes I change
myself, my true self and adjust with certain situation just to be able to
acquire it. It is good in a sense that I can be proud of it but I think it is
wrong now. You should always be you and get things done. Chitra in this story
should have stayed in her own true self and then approached Arjuna.
