"Dharma Pati"

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!
