It was 12:30 at night, Shashi had wished happy birthday to Janki and told her to go to sleep because they have to leave for Janakpur tomorrow.

But the idea of Janakpur for some reason excited her so much that she couldn't sleep. Thus she started looking at the photos of the place on the internet.

As she scrolled through her phone, the feeling of nostalgia pervaded in heart seeing the palace of Janakpur. It seemed familiar, extremely familiar.

For some reason she started imagining how Sita and her sisters would play here. When she lived with her parents, they every week used to take her to temple of Shri Ram in their locality where the priest would recite Ramayan.

She remembered the priest saying that ever since childhood Mata Sita used to play with the divine Shiv Dhanush, using it to pluck apples from the trees.

She sighed remembering those days of her childhood at the temple. The recitation of Ramayan by that priest would stuck in her mind, she would remember it all at once.

There was something about that priest, his devotion for Shri Ram was unparalleled. His voice when he sang praises of his deity was unparalleled, and so was his talent playing Veena.

It was that priest only who had named her Janki, but suprisingly he had no name or maybe he did but for some reason didn't disclose it.

Whenever she would try and ask his name, he would just say - "Call me by whatever name you like, I will come as long as you're calling me."

As smiled remembering about him, she didn't even realise that she wasn't browsing through the internet, but was now on social media.

She was brought out of her thoughts when a video popped up.

"Hume Ram jaisa pati nahi chahiye ! Ravan jaisa bhai chahiye !" The girl in the video said.

"Gosh." Janki cringed at that video.

She scrolled up and another video like that popped up.

"Compared to the flamboyant Ravan, Ram appears boring. He doesn't do anything spontaneous, just a man abiding by the rules." A so called scholar said.

Janki frowned and scrolled again but another video like the previous one came up.

"So tell me, was Ram insecure as a man and as a King ?" A man asked to another.

Janki angrily scrolled up and another similar video came up.

"Although Ravan kidnapped Maa Sita, he didn't touch her. Such was his respect for women. A true feminist icon. But what did Ram do ? He made her take Agnipariksha. Such was the misogyny of the god we worship." A lady said.

"Oh. My. God." Janki said exiting the app and closing the phone.

"Not reading Ramayan, and making false assumptions !" Janki said angrily pulled her duvet and went to sleep.

"Madhav, who was the priest actually ?" Arjun asked.

"The priest was none other than Parambrahma swaroop Sadashiv." Krishna said joining his hands and looking at the sky with a smile.
