Coffee With -Karna-
The way Karn knew the artistry of penetrating through the shool mukhi vhiew we beleive that the entire art of war by Sun Tzu can be explained on the board of chess sipping coffee. And hence in order to do so today we deploy the warfare skills of this super mythological hero from Mahabharat – karn.
Ved Vyas has written a lot about Karn, but unanimously it was Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar who gave him the real honor he deserved via his masterstroke – Rashmirathi.
खिलते नहीं कुसुम मात्र
राजाओं के उपवन में
अमित वार लिखते है
पुर से दूर कुंज कानन में
निज समाधी में निरत
सदा कर्मठता में चूर
वन्य कुसुम सा खिला कर्ण
जग की आँखों से दूर

जिसके पिता सूर्य थे
माता कुंती सती कुमारी
उसका पलना हुई धार पर
बहती हुई पिटारी l
सूत वंश में पला
चखा भी नहीं
जननी का छीर
निकला कर्ण सभी युवकों में
तब भी अदभुत वीर l
