    Aside from Genghis, the most famous of the Mongolian rulers was Genghis’s grandson, Kublai Khan, who was raised as Mongolian in the traditional way, but also exposed to Chinese culture. Kublai’s father Tolui made sure all of his sons could ride and hunt, but he was apparently also concerned that they understood the characteristics and possibilities of the more settled regions under Mongolian rule. Thus, while Kublai and his brothers were still boys, his grandfather Genghis arranged a great Mongolian hunt. This traditional event involved many thousands of riders starting in a great circle and gradually moving into the center, driving the game in front of them. It was a hunt, but it was also a traditional kind of practice military exercise. Kublai killed a couple of small animals, and Genghis is reported to have been pleased with his grandsons.  
    	As Great Khan, Kublai Khan ruled the Mongolian Empire from his capital in modern-day Beijing, with a court that included Mongolians, Arabs, and Persians from throughout his empire. While Genghis may have been a warrior, Kublai was a man of culture, intellect and curiosity, and his court was a luxurious one rich in art, music, and goods. Under his reign, trade along the Silk Road was both easier and more efficient than ever before. Toll gates were removed, and traders could move freely from place to place. It was said that even women could travel safely with goods without fear of harm.  
    	Kublai was clearly an influential ruler, but what helped his legacy endure was that he hosted the famous Italian traveler Marco Polo, who stayed in China for years and described what he saw in detail. When Marco Polo’s travelogue was published back in Europe, it immediately became one of the most famous works on the continent, and while modern historians still debate which parts were factual and fictional, there can be no question that Kublai Khan was a monumental leader in Asia.

    Dil tootne ka dard, shabdon mein bayaan nahi kiya ja sakta. 
    Duniya ki sabse berehem, sabse zaalim cheez hai dil ka tootna. Anubhav kabhi soch bhi nahi sakta tha ki Zoya ke saath break-up ke baad kitna dard hoga, kitna woh tanhayi ke andhere mein doobta chala jayega. 
    Par kismat bhi kya cheez hai ... Jab Anubhav apne dil ke tukdon ko jodne ki koshish kar raha tha, tab Saloni ne uski zindagi mein aa kar usey phir se jeena sikha diya. Ek chhote se 'Hi' se raat-raat bhar calls tak ka safar, aur dekhte-hi-dekhte, woh anjaan shaqs jaan ban gaya. 
    Why Not Me? - 2 ki kahani wahi se shuru hoti hai jahan Why Not Me? khatm huyi thi. Iss kitaab mein, Anubhav ne apni zindagi ke naye chapter ke baare mein likha hai. Magar kya iss baar muqammal ho payegi Anubhav ki mohabbat, ya iss baar bhi adhuri reh jayegi? Woh kehte hain na, yeh ishq nahi asaan bas itna samajh lijiye, ek aag ka dariya hai aur doob ke jana hai.
