 * You may have to wait a little because Legolas notified me a few weeks ago that he will be gone for some weeks. Please remain patient, thanks! — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  17:56, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * This article is tending towards a fail and needs major work. I will wait for next Tuesday anyway since I have already put it on hold. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 14:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Hold it Redtiger. I'm back. I just ask a little more time. Lemme go through your points and lemme make the changes. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 09:59, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The hold period is extended till Sunday (7 days). -- Redtigerxyz Talk 16:55, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Redtiger, I have addressed all your comments. Please see if they are satisfactorily. And thanks for the extension. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 16:05, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Few more things: -- Redtigerxyz Talk 06:00, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Unlike other works inspired by mythology like Hercules (1997 film) where deities depicted retain their classical traits and are immortal gods, here the characters like Shiva are not gods. Shiva is not the Destroyer, the Supreme God of Shaiva Hinduism, but a a Tibetan mortal. says that the characters are namesakes of the Hindu epic characters and deities and are inspired by incidents from Hindu mythology, however the author believes that he is presenting gods. Present both POVs at the start of Characters section.
 * Good point. Thanks.
 * Added some text. You are free to modify to drive home the meaning. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 17:33, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Link the characters only in the "Characters". No need in Plot, as there was not the same characters of Hindu mythology and a non-Hindu/non_Indian reader may be confused, trying to map the traits of Novel characters to the epic characters
 * Add references to Characters section. This might help.
 * Characters:
 * Sati says "Shiva falls in love with her but cannot marry", but fails to say that they are married now.
 * Is it Bhadra or Veer Bhadra?
 * Initially he was known as Bhadra, but from the middle of the first book it was changed to Veer Bhadra.
 * It might also help to write about the fictional world (3 kingdoms) in Characters section . Rename to "Characters and locations" or alike. Also, have 3 lists: Characters, Races (do not mix with Characters), kingdoms/locations
 * Just see if it is fine?
 * Looks good. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 17:33, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The linking of Naga to Naga_people_(Sri_Lanka) is also OR, it can well mean Nāga or Naga (clan).
 * The linking of Vikarma to Karma (Hinduism) is also abstract. Vikarma means "sinful/forbidden activities". The link will confuse readers. Do not add links that mean something else in the Mehula world and the real world. Also, the Hindu Shiva is never described as an "untouchable" - Dalit.
 * Link of Branga as Bengal is OR.
 * A little in doubt here. The story specifically refers to Bengal, and so does most of the reviews, including a reference to Bengali singer Bappi Lahiri. What do you think?
 * If this is said in the book or reliable references back it, it is OK to add it. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 17:33, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * See if its fine now. I'm really enjoying the points that you are making. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 13:34, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
