Main Samay kyun hoon

Main samay hoon..........does it remind of the baritone of Harish Bhimani ?I think the most powerful words of my childhood which captured Indian's attention across the length and breadth of the country.The voice which helped take the epic of Mahabharata to a different level altogether and make the story relevant to the educated/uneducated,kid/grown up,rich/not so rich,male/female/none of these,traditional/rebel,straight/gay,believers/cynics,masters/challengers,teachers/learners...............

But most important, he was the character which never spoke a word out of context,but lived every moment of the mega event.He lived in present fully aware what was to unfold in the future constantly evaluating and assessing each and every move.Impressive is the fact that he did it with utmost poise , remaining unfluttered and unjudgemental.

For me , he is the hero of the epic because he is the only character I haven't lived yet.I have identified with every other character at some point of my life- the judgement of Yudhishtir, the wisdom of Vidur, the commitment of Gandhari, the helplessness of Pitamah,the valor of Arjun, the impulse of Bheem,the pride of Panchali,the cunningness of Shakuni, the pain of Shikhandi,the discipline of Karna,the foolishness of Duryodhan,
