She came out of fire as an adult
With her brother, Dhristadyumna
Unasked
Draupada, her father, tried to send her off
By arranging a swayamvar
Never knew more than his son
She would be instrumental for his revenge
Swayamvar kick-started her life
She humiliated the prince of blind king
Her laughter was credited for the bloody war
Because of her husband’s addiction for game of dice
As a slave, she was dragged and stripped off
Her simmering anger even scared Dhritarashtra
Who returned the kingdom to Pandavas
But the game was played again to gift them
Thirteen years of exile and
18 days of bloody war
Bheema, as promised, brought blood for her
Arjuna won her but never loved her
Lost her children in the aftermath of war
Heroine of the epic has been reduced
To an electrical 2 Pin Multi Plug
With five inputs
By a local vendor
Possibly because of marrying five princes
