Randamoozham -M.T Vasudevan Nair(by: Nisha M.L)

Randamoozham is the novel written by M.T Vasudevan Nair .Marathon Thekkepaattu Vasudevan Nair popularly known as M.T is an Indian author, screenplay writer and film director. He is a prolific and versatile writer in modern of post-independence literature.
                           I think this is the simplest way Mahabharata has been ever told.Narrating the story from Bheemas point of view,MT stripped of divine power from the character and presented them as moral human being with emotions. So you don't get to see Krishna supplying and infidelity long sari to save Draupadi or king Jarasandha's body rejoining and comming back to life which ever way Bhima tries to tear him into two. But you can see Bhima being jealous of Arjuna for being Draupadi's favourite among the five brothers as well as Arjuna mocking Karna for being of lower caste to satisfy his superiorly complex. To an extent the Pandavas become mere puppets in the hands of Kunthi and Draupadi. While Kunthi commands them as their mother, Draupadi lures them with their next chance to live with her. The last few pages reveal some shocking facts about the Pandava's parenthood.M.T explained he read different versions of the story written over different periods and found that divine power granted to the characters where mostly imaginations of the story tellers.
