There is a person i know, who is married for 15 years. He is highly qualified but married a plain illetrate out of his mother’s choice. Well, guys were that naive that time. Now this person is very much literary kind.. He would love to talk of Rumi, Ghalib and Iqbal. Last year he went to India for a conference, and since it was a family trip too, so wife accompanied. They visited Ghalib’s grave and the wife was like, who is that? and when told, that this is Ghalib, who wrote Deewan e Ghalib, she was all not knowing whats Deewan e Ghalib either! Now i have no idea we can measure the feeling the person went through..

I’m sorry but this seems very odd.. Did this happen very soon after their marriage ro after they’d been married for many years? B/c I find it hard to believe that if they were together for such a long time, the woman would have not even teh basic understanding of something her husband loved, in this example literature. Hadn’t the husband told her anything about what he loves? Had she not made an effort to get to know his likes and dislikes?
