THE PERENNIAL LOVE CHAPTER 1
(This is the life of Sai Akhil and his Perennial love. He narrates the events that he encountered in his life.)

"Love is eternal, irrespective of religion and caste. The emotions and romance are Perennial. It's painful as well as sweet."

I didn't expect this kind of twist in my life. If I have not come to Delhi in this month of February 2020, if CAA have not been passed, then I could not have come to Delhi riots now. I am now badly injured...the knife have entered deep into my stomach....but, my mind persists to think about my beloved ones...

I know where is my love Vishalakshi. They are all safe in the annex. We are now in Brahmapuri to control the riots...

This is one of the place, which gets attacked by the protesters, led by Hindu as well as Muslims. My friend Muhammad Nausath is struggling to breath after being attacked by the protesters...

We both joined in Indian Army together and are close friends, with Sai Adhithya too. He is now fighting to save Jaffrabad from the attacks...

Before entering into Indian Army, our life was totally different. My life was completely opposite.

When I was four years old, my father died in the 2008 Mumbai Bomb blasts. He have been assigned to protect the cities. My mother, who already opposed my father's profession, died by accidentally falling off from the cliff...unable to bear the shock...

I was left orphaned...but, my grandfather Rangaswamy adopted me. He was an 60 year old ex-Colonel, served in Indian Army during Kargil war 1999.

Our family's ancestors are great warriors from Chera periods to British and modern Era...Since 8 years, my grandfather trained me in Martial arts skills such as Adimurai, Valari and Kalaripayattu.

I was thought Bhagavat Gita, Mahabharata and Ramayana, which explained several inspiring themes and quotes...

Initially, I felt disgusted....but, my grandfather one day asked me, "Sai Akhil. Have you read about Arjuna and Lord Krishna in Bhagavat Gita?"

I replied him, "Yes Grandfather. I have read...Lord Krishna told about Bhagavat Gita to Arjuna....Indeed, he guided them during the Kurusethra War"

"Yeah. Here, I am Lord Krishna for you...you are Arjuna...you have the same characteristics of Arjuna...but, your mental strength is weaker...have you read about a part of Drona and Arjuna?" asked my grandpa..

I replied, "Yes Grandpa...I have read about several things of Drona and Aswathama...among those, I liked his task against Pandava.:"

"Hmm...why did you like that part?" asked my grandpa...

I told, "Because, except Arjuna, the other four didn't win the task given by Drona..."

"Why? Why didn't they win?" asked my grandfather...

I replied him saying, "Because, for Arjuna he was able to see the bird as his target. While the others saw trees and other things like wood, home...they didn't focus on bird..."

"Exactly...for us, aim is the only target" said my grandpa..

Even though we are not brahmins, Christian or Muslim, I read Garuda Literature, Bible and attended church prayers, monks and our temple cultural rituals...

We didn't see caste or religion...I developed the spirit of patriotism when I was...
