    Even a generally bad relationship with one's parents can have some bright moments, or at least such that aren't all bad.baker

    Not sure about 'bright' but I hear you. :smile:

    This should be right up your alley OP.

    If I've been reading authentic translations of the Mahabharata, there's this cute sub-plot in it where Draupadi, the queen, is with child. The father, Arjuna, a great warrior, perhaps impatiently, begins teaching his son, just a fetus then, battle field strategy. Just as he's about to impart a crucial piece of information on battle formations (Chakravyu or something like that), Draupadi falls asleep, so does the as yet unborn son. The son, Abhimanyu's his name if memory serves, is born but he has no knowledge of the Chakravyu formation.

    Later, Abhimanyu becomes a great warrior. He takes part in a war but is slain in the battle field. How? Chakravyu!!!
