Daskon - Episode 3 recap.

Hey guys its time for Daskon again it is episode 3 recap. Well I have to say these few episodes are all facts but it is mainly because this is the first time a history drama of this scale is shown in Sri Lanka and so there is a lot of history to cover:-) Here we go time for episode 3:

Again all the ministers are are at it again. Who is going to be the next King? This is the question eryone in the palace is asking. The fate of the whole nation lies in the hand s of the ministers. The fat elder brother's name is Patiya Bandara he is the son of Yakala Doli (the Sinhalese queen of Sri Lanka).

Time for some history : A Sri Lankan King from Kandy is only to have two Queens one of them is a Southern Indian Buddhist princess while the other is a noble woman from Sri Lanka again a Buddhist. The Sinhalese noble lady is called Yakala Doli like Suk Bin and Hee Bin in Korea. Usually the Crown Prince is the son of the Indian princess.

Patiya Bandara is called a illiterate man by some ministers while the other ministers call him a man with Sinhalese blood. The Crown Prince who's name by the way is Prince Pundasali is having a hard time in his own palace and Daskon arrives to tell him that the ministers are yet arguing.Saying this Daskon leaves to know what is happening in the main palace hall.

The ministers have decided that the King is going to be Crown Prince Pundasali and points out he will change his boyish ways when he becomes King but one minister keeps on pointing out that the Prince is yet 17 years old. Daskon takes the news to the Crown Prince Pundasali.Here we get to know a little bit of Daskon. He says Prince Pundasli and he are very similar because their parents are from different countries and different nationalities. Daskon's father is French while his mother is Portuguese while the Prince's mother is Indian and father is Sri Lankan. The Prince is offended and he says they are different people that Daskon is a "pitadashakaraya" - a man who came from another country but he is the Crown Prince of Sri Lanka. Daskon then replies his father came to Sri Lanka after reading a book on Ceylon (Sri Lanka) by Robert Nox. He points out that he is luckier than his father since he can see the coronation of the new King.

In the Queen palace the Queen,s father asked the Queen why her son doesn't come to see her here the Queen says that the Prince is doing a fasting in memory of the King. The father asks what stupid traditions these were. Ironically,the traditional rituals to make Prince Pundasali the King is being done in the main palace and Daskon watches on. The seven days of fasting passes by and Daskon says he is surprised how a bit of religious meditations could makes a boyish Prince into a wise King. Daskon days he will do ranging to get the religious bliss the Prince is experiencing and the Prince says he was with his father the whole time even though he was not with him when his father died. Daskon asks what the Prince's Royal name would be and then we he in the background traditional chants the name King Nerendra Sinha. To be continued....next Saturday 8.30 pm.

My thoughts: wow I can't wait for next week. Like I said this drama will get better when the Princess and the Sinhalese Yakala Doli arrives:-) You will be surprised to see who the Yakala Doli is:-)
