'My wife has never eaten before me or with me for 30 years'

October 22, 2013 15:14

A Capt Ajit Vadakayil's blog on Karva Chauth. Take your time over this, it's unbelieveable!

"It never happened that my wife ate a meal before me or along with me-- for 3 decades . She , the quintessential Bharatiya Nari , always ate after feeding her husband and her children. Of course she sailed with me for 9 years as the "Captains wife ", and she sat on my table , and ate with me as per shipboard decorum. It never happened that I got up from sleep in the morning (or a nap in the afternoon ) and a cup of hot tea was NOT given to me by my wife , within 3 minutes , for the past 3 decades. So -- is she my slave? No , she is my wife , just carrying out her Dharma which makes her happy !" More of that here.
