I just realised that their story is almost the same.
But their choice determined their final fate.

In Mahabharata, Vikarna was the younger brother of Duryodhana and one of the 100 Kauravas. He was the only Kaurava who talked against the humiliation and disrobing of his sister-in-law Draupadi in the Kuru Assembly.
However, in the final war, he decided to support the Kauravas stating the fact that he had eaten the food of the Kuru throne and Duryodhana was his king. So abandoning the family and king who had fed him, though they were wrong, would be a sin that even death couldn’t get rid of.

In Ramayana, Vibhishana was the youngest brother of Lanka King Ravana. He spoke against Ravana’s act of abducting Sita Devi, and repeatedly requested him to return her to Lord Rama. Yet Ravana dismissed him each time. He knew Ravana was in the wrong. So after multiple attempts of trying to help Ravana and after being humiliated by him, Vibhishana decided to leave his brother and help Lord Rama in his war to free Sita Devi.

Now Vibhishana too had eaten the food of Ravana’s throne. Ravana was his eldest brother. But, Vibhishana states the fact that if a King breaks dharma, then the bond of loyalty through food is severed. Vibhishana chose dharma over family.

So one prince decided to support his king and family over the righteous side, while the other prince decided to support righteousness over his king and family. One chose loyalty and the other chose justice.

In the end, Vibhishana was made the King of Lanka and was a great ruler. While Vikarna fell on the battlefield as a warrior, fighting in support of his king and family, fully knowing that his family was in the wrong.

These are 2 contrasting stories I found in Mahabharat and Ramayana…

I am just so excited to see a small part of my culture being mentioned in my favorite game…

I can tell one reason why this title means a lot.
Puranas are ancient Hinduism texts that contain stories of Hindu Pantheon of Gods. It tells stories about how the universe came into existence, how God created humans, how God protects his/her devotees and the universe from all kind of threats. It also describes about God’s greatest devotees, each god’s family and their divine tales that shape the cosmos.

But before the Puranas, Hinduism was based on the most ancient and divine texts that describe and praise god - Vedas.
But the Vedas, being the abstract truth, were incomprehensible to about 90% of the population. Most people couldn’t understand the meaning behind the Vedic incantations. Vedas could be understood only by the ancient sages. So how will ordinary people connect with the divine without the Vedas?

So the ancient sages devised a plan.
To make it easier for people to connect to the divine, ancient Indian sages weaved the teachings of the Vedas into stories called the “Puranas”. So through these stories, which have everything - Poems, Incantations for god, Romance, Devotion, Battles, Honour, Deceit, Wrath and Benevolence of God, people could understand and connect easily with the divine and also learn the teachings of Vedas in the process.

So if you read the Puranas carefully, you can find the true essence of God and the Vedas in those pages. That’s the reason I like the title “Truth (Vedas) Amongst the Pages of the Puranas”

And if we take this reasoning to the game, I think the next archon quest will take us back into the past and reveal few deep truths about the Primordial One, The Shades Irminsul and The Abyss.
We might take a deep dive into the Puranas of Teyvat a.k.a => Irminsul because Irminsul is an ancient collection of stories/memories about the Archons and all inhabitants of Teyvat.
Or we will see how Dottore accesses the memories (Pages) in Irminsul (Puranas) and gain higher knowledge about Teyvat, its creation and its rulers (The Truth)

Especially from 9-10am and 6pm-9pm.
There is no place to stand properly or place to sit. We have to stand packed up between 10+ people, whose perfumes mix up and create Hyderabad Metro’s own smog like Delhi’s. And some people don’t even use perfumes. So you have to stand for 1 hour smelling the disgusting armpit of someone because you can’t go anywhere else.

It’s summer and yet they don’t run the AC on full speed. They run the AC enough to keep everyone in the ride alive and not suffocate to death. Meanwhile there are few senseless educated MNC company employees who use their phones on full volume without any care for the person beside them. And when asked to turn down the volume, they will look at you as if you asked them dowry in marriage. And people who have no phone of their own, they get their enjoyment by looking into the phones of others.

PS: Don’t hang onto the rods in the metro. I have seen 2 uncles rub their nose pickings on it.

But can we go by car to our office? Nope. If it takes 1 hour to reach office by metro, it takes 2.5 hours to reach Hi Tech City from Nagole. All hail Traffic Devi. Can we stay in hostels in Hi Tech City?
Most of the hostels in Hi Tech City are in such dilapidated conditions, you would think these hostels were built during the reign of Quli Qutub Shah or the Nizams.
Most of them are either infested with bed bugs or they serve food worse than prisons I have seen in movies. And these hostels are only for sleeping. Don’t expect fresh air or sunlight because there ain’t no windows to these hostels. Yet they charge 8000+ for a room.

This is a rant. I mean at the end of the day, I can’t do shit. Nothing will change. Either ride the metro uncomfortably or live in dilapidated hostel and just shut up about it…

PS: I AM TALKING ABOUT VEDIC ASTROLOGY PLACEMENT. NOT WESTERN. In western I believe Jupiter is in Leo.

How was this 1 year from May 2025 - May 2026?

Any major changes in relations, career, income, personality or network circle? Was it positive or negative?

Note:

In Vedic,

Saturn is transiting Pisces

Rahu and Ketu are transiting Aquarius and Leo respectively.

How’s your married life been? How are your relationships? And if you are into business, how are your business partners?

Is your spouse/girlfriend hot-headed? Or do you compete with your spouse or any relations?

Do you compete with your business partners? Or do you have aggressive business partners?

Are you jealous of your partners?

How do you think this placement manifested in your life?

Of course one planet does not rule our entire personality and life. But we can understand their energies do act differently in each house.

Mars - Aggression, Competition, Protector, Disciplined, The Army General

EDIT:

Does this placement affect your relation with your friends and family too? Have you noticed aggression, competition or this need to win in arguments in the relation towards them?

Let’s say I work at a very well known core company.

I joined this company 11 months ago as a contractor and this is my first job.

But I feel like I will soon be fired by the company. (I don’t want to mention the reasons as I am at fault. It’s performance related, not something like harassment etc). My manager hasn’t said anything but i see my performance and I know he is about to fire me.

So if I get fired by this XYZ company, will I never get a job again in this domain? Because I would have a tag that “He got fired from a very good and big company.”

I am planning to quit but this is my first job and I am scared. What if I don’t get another job? What if I don’t get a good mentor and teammates in my next job? My manager is good but he doesn’t correct me if I am did something wrong and I feel he will accumulate everything about me and fire me one day.

So I want to quit before they fire me.

That might save my name right?

Or does that lead to a whole new range of problems?

Could you please provide your insights on this?
