Adieu To Unheard Melodies 26

The Boatman’s Song 26 Last on PS Rest would be concluded in the book This story of the Boatman’s Song is taking a break/stop here, As enough of its Episodes I have already placed, On this wonderful sight which we call and know as PoutrySoup. The love and appreciation which I got from you all Would linger and glow like a lamp light in my heart Stories come and stories go Poems also come flashes on board, illuminate us and one day go Sometimes they leave an impression on our mind and heart But often they vanishes like a Tarang*(wave) Which after rising high and very high Just mingles in the sea of life, leaving no impressions As if we never saw them high or low This is the beauty of life Which keep on moving without ever stopping Playing, singing, loving or hating, smiling or laughing Reading or writing or singing a melody touching our hearts Or get busy in life without wasting a minutes time Or waiting and waiting for something to happen Which sometimes takes place And often keep us only waiting But this is how the life moves on? Ravindra Note: What happens in the ceremony celebrations on Vasant* at the Kingdom of Malla* And what happens to the Princess and Urveshi who were in love with the Boatman, who was actually the young Chandragupta Maurya,* of the Ancient India who ruled between 321 BC to 298 BC under the guidance of his Guru Chanakya*, whose role was the base of establishing largest ever a kingdom in India and how he married the daughter of Seleucus* the Greek warrior whom Alexander* had appointed after he left India. Chandragupta expanded the boundaries of his kingdom up to Iran in West, while coving all most the whole of current India. He established a Great kingdom and his period is known as the golden period of India History. These & many more interesting characters would be things to be covered in the book I am writing as an epic. The book would also be coving what happens to Urveshi* who was waiting for the Boatman and how long she stays on earth to see more of his love the Boatman. * Chandragupta Maurya Boatman’s actual name in the ancient History * Chanakya. Name of the great teacher of Chandragupta. He met Alexander in 326/325 B.C * Vasant. The season of spring * Malla. Name of a Republic of ancient India * Tarang Means wave. Here a nymph * Alexander. Alexander the Great, the Macedonian king remembered as one of the most successful military commanders of the ancient world
