🪓The Last Axe: A Modern Man Inspired by Parshuram’s Wrath

 In a bustling city where glass towers touch the sky and politics rule the streets, lived a man named Arvind—a common name, a common face, but a heart burning with uncommon rage. His story, though set in the 21st century, is eerily reminiscent of a tale from ancient scriptures—the story of Parshuram, the sixth avatar of Vishnu, who once annihilated the entire Kshatriya clan twenty-one times over.

Arvind was no mythological warrior, but his fury was born of betrayal and blood, just like Parshuram’s.

A Spark Ignited

Arvind’s father was an honest government officer who stood as a lone pillar of integrity in a department rotting with corruption. When he tried to expose a high-level land scam involving several powerful politicians, he was framed, shamed, and silenced—dead in a mysterious "accident" no one dared to question.

The boy who watched his father's funeral in quiet anguish grew up feeding on rage. And then, one night, he stumbled across the tale of Parshuram—a warrior-sage who avenged the murder of his father by wiping out the warrior class that abused their power. The story didn't just stay with him; it consumed him.

The Rise of the Modern Parshuram

Arvind didn’t take up an axe, but his mind became his weapon. He trained as a lawyer, then a cyber-expert, and soon, an investigative journalist. But he wasn’t there to write headlines. He was building an arsenal—facts, evidence, allies.

One by one, he brought down the empires of those who destroyed his father. Politicians who thought themselves untouchable suddenly found themselves exposed in viral videos, cornered in sting operations, and indicted in court cases fueled by Arvind’s relentless pursuit of justice.

His war wasn’t physical—but it was ruthless. He didn’t kill bodies, but reputations. Careers. Dynasties.

An Age-Old Question

But as Arvind's war intensified, he began to blur the line between justice and vengeance. He started punishing not only the guilty but anyone who stood in his way. His growing army of whistleblowers and hackers feared him almost as much as they followed him.

One night, he stood before a mirror, staring at the face that had once trembled in helplessness. He saw not Arvind—but a modern echo of Parshuram. The question now haunted him: When you become the weapon, can you stop yourself from becoming the tyrant too?

The Moral of the Tale

The legend of Parshuram was never just about destruction. It was about cleansing—a purging of abuse, yes, but also a reminder that power, in any hands, is dangerous without restraint. Arvind’s story is a warning for our times: when you walk the path of vengeance, you must remember where it ends.

Because if you're not careful, you may become the very thing you swore to destroy.
