Now that you have or haven’t gone through it ; let us move on and see what Mr.Shakuni has to say on a fine Sunday Morning .

Sundays are a very good concept. In our days there was no such thing as a Sunday. I had to Soft-soap my Brother-in-law initially and later my nephew 24 X 7 . So rejoice and learn to retrospect positively on what you have in your fists ; the gift of time , it is so precious and invaluable that any amount of gold-mudrikas can’t bring it back.
Know when to pull the Brakes :
In my age we had chariots and they didn’t have any breaks. You had to tap the shoulder of your charioteer to signal to stop or slow down whenever you saw peril prancing towards you. Then he reigned in the horses, and it took a lot of time for the whole process to culminate.
Nowadays you all have disk-brakes in your vehicles but still there are a lot of accidents; why? I am not just talking about the roads. Even in life, it is of the essence that you know when to stop. If you rage on like a bull towards a matador; it will be as easy as pie, to move away from your way in the last instant and all your energy will go down the drain.
You must know what happened to the Pandavas. Yudishtra gave in to my provocations and rushed in like a bull; knowing in the back of his mind that victory will definitely elude him; I have a first hand experience with such people. Duryodhana was no good either, if he had one fault; it was his mountain-load of pride that he couldn’t take down with the quarry of experience; again as gullible as the bull when flashed Red.
The only one whom I consider my true adversary is Krishna. He also saw the bulls running around in Kurukshetra and saw many plans through, to the end. He even made the mighty Drona fall; again using the aforementioned Red-bull strategy.
So, in your life you will see the red flashing many times at you; but don’t let go of reason and rush in without a plan. There is a time and place for everything. I got my due (remember who sent Pandavas home; gift wrapped in loincloths, after losing everything? ) and so will you.
