Mihir Kamdar

He rides me as he vanquishes the opposition. He rides me, lifting the princess in one swoosh and they ride off together.

He rides me towards the cliff & pulls my reigns so I stand up on my hind legs & it makes him look a victorious king.

He broke down – like he had every day for the last twelve years.
