#40 - Marriages are Made, she says

In this episode, I read "Marriages are Made"  and "Advice to Women" by Eunice de Souza. Eunice writes with a kind of honesty and sparseness. The only way to tell it is what she offered as advice to a young male colleague - it is to tell it without sentimentality. These are two short poems, one is what you learn from cats about otherness in love. The other is the anatomy of matchmaking in India true certainly for her time but not ancient just yet .
