[Reader-list] Greetings for May Day

[we wi]

Dear Tara,
   
  No you pointed it out in a wrong way!!!  The meaning is to characterize a woman and her behavior; I just mentioned it to complete the line "kshamaya dharitri".  A woman is compared with EARTH in performing the duties with tolerance and hence the respect.  EARTH, WOMAN and INDIA all are feminine in nature and similarity in characteristic, so the comparison.
   
  But there are males who quote 'they go for 6 females for the foresaid 6 characteristics" criticizing on woman sarcastically pointing that no woman can have all the 6 characteristics.
  Though "kshamaya dharitri" is old saying and time has changed, but INDIA is same with few exceptions like divisions and territorial occupations, earth is same with new country inventions, men and women are same then and now.  But Men toss around with such generalized quotes.
   
  "prakash ray" was supposed to give clarification (check your eyes) but ????????????????
  It would be nice if "partha das gupta" say few more words.
   
    Regards,
  Dhatri.

  Nicely chosen. A bit too generously perhaps, to dignify an undeserving mail 
with a response.

I was also expecting a mail (ideally not from a male) deconstructing 
Dhatri's or whoever's suggestion that a wife should act like a prostitute in 
bed.
Ask for money after the act?
