She wrote down the names of her family members.

Akshad

Neeravati

Brahma

Indrajeet

Let me try working out with their relations. Akshad, father. Neeravati, mother. Brahma, maternal grandfather. Indrajeet, maternal uncle, my ex-husband.

Hmmmm, this is not working. Something is missing. Or is it visible yet I am unable to comprehend it?

Durga had spent good one hour thinking what the meaning could be. She thought of putting it aside. But then her conscience challenged her to think again. She tried again but she couldn't work it out. She decided that she will think in a different way.

My name is Durga.

Wow! I didn't know that.

Whatever. Durga has many other names... like... Shakti, Parvati, Sati, Lalita, Kali... has got to do something with these names?..... Sati...

Out of these names why did you chose the name Sati?

I don't know really why... I just picked that name... Sati's father was Daksha... Daksha... Daksha!!!

She quickly wrote the name Daksha.

D A K S H A

Which can also be written as...

A K S H A D

Devi Shakti!!! The alphabets are exactly same... only the order is changed...

It took few minutes for her to digest the fact of this astounding similarity with alphabets of both the names.

Maybe Sati's mother Veerini would have some similarity with Neeravati... but the number of alphabets don't match

Why do you think everything has to be same?

I didn't get that.

What I am trying to say is maybe you should look with different perspective.

I think you are right.

N E E R A V A T I

The word itself contains alphabets of the name Veerini.

N E E R A V A T I

Okay not exactly... one alphabet is missing. Everything cannot be perfect.

What about your loving husband Indrajeet?

Loving? Why are so sarcastic?

Okay beast in disguise. How does that sound?

Much better. What puzzles me is his name... Indrajeet... Meghnad Indrajeet... son of Asura king Ravan... he was caring husband... his wife Sulochana... she was very happy wife... only before Indrajeet's death, she was instructed to meet Vibishan for the future of their children...

Your Indrajeet is exactly opposite.

He was not mine... he never will be... as a matter of fact I never loved him... actually liked him.

She ignored Indrajeet's name and looked at her grandfather's name.

Brahma

Her grandfather held some grudge against Akshad. Akshad had asked Durga not to pay attention to such things but these things were clearly evident from their heated arguments. She felt that Brahma, for some reason hated Akshad. Her mother must have tried to resolve things between them. She always had a doubt that to resolve things between them, she must have asked Akshad to marry Durga with Indrajeet.
