compare yourself with a character

The thread was about comparing with characters of epics- which mean Ramayana, Mahabharata etc. But we are really comparing ourselves with real life characters.

Thats true, so my choice would be Draupadi and why not ? :dry: she was according to me the central character of Mahabharata and the entire story in some way or the other revolved around her ..

Great choice! Draupadi was indeed a central character and not just that, she was very strong and a true woman of the earth!

True, Kalyani, I have always admired her strength and the way she handled adversities....There is a novel written by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, entirely on her and her perspective Called The Palace of Illusions , which is a good read !

Oh that does seem to be a good book, I had never heard of it., I must find it now as soon as I can!

Kalyani, Since it is old you might find a copy at the second hand stores too... You could go through this link just to know the gist ...
