Nicely written, Arjan.

Just a clarification. You'd mentioned Arjuna as the son of a Hindi God. Did you mean, "Hindu?"

Hi Srinath, thanks for reading and leaving your comment. I guess you are right, and I mean Hindu. I'm afraid I misspelled that, thank you for helping out by pointing out!

Arjan, the first time I came across your name, for a second I read it as Arjun too (The hero in the Sanskrit epic, Mahabharata). I am so inspired to know that you feel connected by this. Loved your poem, and the back story. :)

Thank you so much, Suryatapa! And thanks for reading. Reading my name as Arjun, I see it as a compliment. It indicates that there's a familiarity, a bond. You saw my name as being part of your world. I like that. Now the Dutch version is, too. :)
