Sanskrit was my first language and like always slokas were mugged right before the exams but some of them are really unforgettable! One such verse was on the qualities to look for a in a wife! The verse was something like:
Meaning:
- One who works like a servant! (without any compensation!!)
- Who advises like a minister! (well known fact! guys have no brains! they need us ladies)
- Looks like goddess Lakshmi! (good looking! but at the same time the behenji types so that no other guy realises that she is indeed good looking)
- Who is forgiving like mother earth! (so even if the guy cheats! the woman should forgive and forget)
- Cooks like Anapoorna! (Again! without any compensation)
- Pleases like Rambha!!!! (Tut tut tut.. Of course guys)
- The one who possess all the above qualities is a wife by dharma, the so called "Dharma Patni" (Basically a perfect woman by the defined standards of men)
Well well well.. could not agree more! How very convenient! Written by a man of course! Idea of heaven is filled with Rambe, Uravashi, Menaka... and other beautiful damsels! Definitely the idea of heaven is a figment of imagination of a guy or a lesbian! My bet is on the former though!
But i don't ever remember reading a sloka ever on qualities of a hubby! What should be the ideal qualities to look for in husband or lets say who can be a "Dharma Pati"?
- Medhaavii Albert Einstein - Intelligent as Albert Einstein (Smart men are way better than handsome ones)
- Eka Patni Vrata Rama - Loyal as Lord Rama (Trusting though! Insecure men are BIG BIG turn off)
- Darshaniiya Siddarth - One who looks like Sid! (U bet!)
- Aadhyah Bill Gates - Rich as Bill Gates! (Jimmy choos, Manolo Blahnik, Gucci, Chanel, LV... all costs a lot of money girls!!)
- Dhaneshu Karna - As big hearted as Karna! (Charity begins at home! Somebody who can loosen the purse strings to buy the top ten things that your wardrobe needs as per Cosmo!)
- Vinodah Russell Peter - Funny and entertaining like Russell Peter (Well a guy who can make witty remarks is a added plus point)
A guy who would meet all the above qualities would be my perfect man. I bet, there is no single guy who would match all the above qualities! But a guy would expect a woman to meet all the qualities of a "Dharma Patni".
My take is there no perfect man or a woman but there can be perfect relationship!
Summer has set in! Sunny mornings and breezy evenings... With the sweet smell of rain.. the first summer rain!!! Hmmm...Sigh!!!! Summer rains are tempermental and is warm and is nothing like the rainy season! Summer rains brings warm and fond memories of
- Sweet aroma of the mud just before it rains!
- Playing late in the evening in the first summer rain!
- Staring out of the window, trying to study for the approaching finals!
- Day dreaming about puppy crush!
- Coming home drenched in the sweet summer rain to loved ones!
- Being pampered by loved ones warming you!
- Aroma of hot filter coffee and crispy pakoras!
- Hot shower after getting soaked in the summer rain!
- Wrapped in a warm towel after a hot shower!
- Little puppies crouched under the tree for shelter!
- Running to fetch the clothes hung for drying and getting drenched!
- Dancing in the rain on the terrace when you think nobody is watching!
- Little droplets of water trickling from the trees!
- Spring fever setting in! Dont feel like doing anything except sigh and stare outside!
With every summer passing! The more i fall in love with the gorgeous summer weather and the tempermental rain!
Hmmmm.... Sigh....
Spring fever just set in!!!:-)
Valentine's Day! Nobody even knew such a day existed up until a few years ago (oh my god! i feel ancient:-( But is now it is a festivity by itself.
With the V day nearing! everybody is out there planning something for the special ones in their lives! And us singles are left brooding! Well! Who said so? I did but I am wrong!
Valentines day is a day for the one you love! And "I" my people love myself sooo very much!! So i plan to go out on a date with myself! Nope! I didn't knock my head anywhere!! I mean it! This V day, i am going to dispatch myself some gorgeous red stemmed beauties and a nice gift (look at this way, there is no way i am not gonna like the gift!). And why not? Are we not all in a relationship with self? I think so! We love ourselves and we do owe some classic time with self! I don't think its loser like. Now loser like would be being in a relationship because you cannot be alone!
So single people enjoy time with self!
