What can one say of Dinkar? Such unequaled is his style!
Rashmirathi is, like how Arundhati Roy puts it in The God of Small Things:
'The secret of the Great Stories is that they have no secrets. The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don’t deceive you with thrills and trick endings. They don’t surprise you with the unforeseen. They are as familiar as the house you live in. Or the smell of your lover’s skin...more

Nothing short of extraordinary. It is saddening that hindi literature of such stature will only find itself under the dust of historical achievements of mankind, for the generations to come. And to see it crumbling in front of our eyes is truly heartbreaking.

This book was way beyond my reading level (in Hindi) but despite that, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Reading in Hindi had always felt like a task to me before but this book felt different. It actually made me feel more connected to my language and homeland.
The intrinsic descriptions and the powerful dialogues of Dinkar form an unusually beautiful narrative. I would go so far as to say that Dinkar has super-epified the greatest Indian epic by his rich and insightful writing. What else can I say...

I would not take the credit off from Piyush mishra for popularizing the parts of this epos. if you have not seen gulal as well, it is the chapter where Krishna goes to duryodhan and asks rajya for the pandavas and on the refusal of duryodhan gets angry and challanges him for the battle. This chapter beautifully captures the aggravated emotions of the otherwise tactical Krishna and the fear he inculcates in the Sabha.

I came across this book after watching this video, in which Manoj Bajpai beautifully recites verses from one of the chapters of Rashmirathi. The book eulogizes Karna, who is well-known not just for his skills and prowess as a warrior but also for his generosity and unrelenting pursuit of Dharma.
Recite it. Each verse is filled with rhythmic music and will leave you delighted.

This book just blew me over. It was out of this world. Shri Dinkar ji has described Karna, probably the tallest character in Mahabharata, beautifully. He has taken those conversations of Karna which in a sense had established Karna as a revered figure. Prose he has used to described Karna's conduct took my breath away. This is not a book that one reads and forgets instead it is d one that one would like to carry with oneself.

Reading this book is such a mesmerising experience, you realise how important rhythm is to a work of poetry, that too such an important one.

I haven't read much poetry, but Dinkar's simple poetry talks about today's scenario in simple words though it talks from the stage of Kurukshetra. The last parts where Bhishm talks to Arjun about how he should not go for Sanyaas and instead do what he is supposed to do, are really good.
You'll have to recite it to get the essence of this marvelous piece of poetry.

और कौन है, पड़ा नहीं जो कभी पाप-कारा में ?
किसके बसन नहीं भींगे बैतरणी की धारा में?

परकृति नहीं डर कर झुकती है
कभी भागय के बल से,
सदा हारती वह मनुषय के
उददयम से ; शरमजल से ।
