Think of your husband as a lover from another life,
And wonder what you did to deserve him.
From 'How to live in Suburbia when your heart is in the Himalayas' by Gwen Davis
Enchanting thought isn’t it… just extending it could lovers in this life become husbands in another.. wishful thinking and I wonder what we would have done to deserve it..also maybe husbands in previous lives appear as lovers or people we encounter in this life!!! just a cosmic joke giving us a glimpse of what had been once ….Goes back to the whole eternal reccurance idea… life is just the sum of finite experisnes and people that you keep going back to
Actually went to the library to borrow “White Mughals” by William Darlymple, but chanced upon ‘Out of India’ a collection of snippets from Indian Writing through the ages… a very interesting read, given that I am so interested in collecting vignettes myself . Also got introduced to “Meghdoot” by Kalidas..i think I may have read bout it before ..but it was good to read it again…
