Mrityunjaya, the death conqueror. A novel depicting the life of Karna (one of the Mahabharata character). Once you read this, your entire view of Mahabharata will change. I read this in my teenage years. It has changed my view of looking at life, and I started to take life seriously.

I have this book in my shelf for so many years. I am going to read this.

I ordered a Hindi version first but couldn't make head or tail of most of the parts and later ordered the English one.

But procrastination prevailed. These days I am feeling a bit lethargic about reading; reading this comment make me to go and give it a try again.

Could you mention some of things you realized reading this book and how you are using it in daily to daily life.

I realized that life is not always fair with you. But however cruel it is, be firm with your principles. Know yourself and ignore the discrimination by others. I read this in my teenage year, the time in life which makes you, and the values of Karna become my values. I was so impressed by this book, that some year later, in my college days, I read another book by same author on Krishna's life named Yugandhar (roughly meaning emperor of Era). Now every time I am in tricky situation, I always think what will Krishna do in this situation.
