However, a simple gesture like baking a cake for your spouse or writing an austere letter or just a delightful wish in the morning is enough to nurture love. Of course, all of us cannot be bards making surprise visits to a lover’s house through windows was left long behind in Shakespearean dramas. The eloquent way that the great poet Kalidas employed to convey ardent feelings through a forlorn character in Megadhuta brings out the paramount spirit of love. Your locks in plumes, your face in moonlight clear,Īh, jealous! But the whole sweet image is not here.” Your eyebrows in the ripple’s dancing lines, “I see your limbs in graceful creeping vines, When destiny did not favour and lives had to be lived apart, those heart-melting last letters were nothing but harbingers of purity in love.
