Old Times

. . . when I wanted to wear kajal like Karuvaki (Kareena Kapoor) in Asoka but ended up looking like Chandramukhi 😁😁

Wonderful Women of History: KARUVAKI, fl.260 BCE, Kalingan commoner-turned-queen; the only wife of Ashoka the Great to issue an edict in her own name. 

On the order of the Beloved of the Gods, the officers everywhere are to be instructed that whatever may be the gift of the second queen, whether a mango-grove, a monastery, an institution for dispensing charity or any other donation, it is to be counted to the credit of that queen … the second queen, the mother of Tīvala, Kāruvākī.

                                                                       - Queen’s Edict, Allahabad Pillar

Karuvaki knows what is to stand by the shore and reel the day’s catch in; she knows what it is to watch the dying gasps of fish caught in the net. So she knows, despite what she hears, that this is not Kalinga’s last hour. Kalinga may have lost, but it lives in her--and she lives yet as the Emperor’s queen.

Let none forget it.
