Hello friends, A story of love’s longing, of love’s desperation, love’s foolishness and finally, love’s truth and dignity . No one tells it better than Tagore.
Chirtangada, the beautiful daughter of Chitravahana, the king of Manipur, has been raised like a prince. She is string and accomplished instead of feminine and retiring . she is renowned for her virtues of loyalty, strength and fearlessness rather than her looks. the plain girl however falls in love with Arjuna no less - and wishes more than anything else to be the most beautiful woman on the earth. she gets her wish from the Gods Madana and Vasanta. Be careful what you wish for Chitra .Borrowed beauty weighs heavily on her. She’s never sure if Arjuna loves her for her looks or her self. the book is tiny, but every line has to be savoured slowly, and more than once. if I had the gift of a great memory, this is what would be committed to it .
