Dear Diary,

I can’t understand the emperor ! Chitra Varma is the best painter in our kingdom. There is no doubt in it. But, he is only a painter ! How can a painter discharge the duties of a chief advisor? I think the emperor’s decision is not correct. Though I try to tell him some-thing about his decision of making/appointing the painter as the chief advisor, the emperor doesn’t pay any attention to my words. The emperor will realize his mistake very soon !
