What the Brain Thinks

King Ratansen is led to Singhal Kingdom (Sri Lanka) by a talking parrot - former friend of Padmini - who describes the beauty of Padmini (aka Padmavati), the Princess of Singhal Kingdom. What?

I would say, NO. It could be well perceived as a good functioning of our media to cover all of this on various platforms. This has been greatly possible with the technological advancements over past 10-15 years. I remember...
