A letter to my husband

Dear Mr husband,

It has been 8 tumultuous years since we set off together and at this juncture , let me tell you what you are! - let the whole world see this and stare at you and, you be bashful, i don't care !

Alright! So, you are a -
                Yudhishtira* in justice and truthfulness,
                Bheemasena* in valor and gluttony,
                Arjuna* in skills and perseverance,
                Nakula* in handsomeness,
                Sahadeva* in patience and gentleness , and ,
                Karna* in generosity.

Thank you for this life that would have given Ms. Draupadi* a major insecurity complex - for I am not married to the Pandavas*, but to the Kauntheyas* <3

All that thus said , remember that you had assumed the form of the cunning Guru Drona* too - for you forbade my right hand from writing letters to men ever again, for my pursuit for the perfect man ended at you! , and understand that it is never easy to be a good man's wife ; neither  was it ever for Ms.Draupadi too!

Yours truly,
The ever grumpy wife :D

PS:
*Pandava : पाण्डो: पुत्र: - Son of Pandu*
*Kauntheya: कुन्तिया: पुत्र: - Son of Kunti*

Note: Nakula and Sahadeva - though born to Madri and Pandu would , in my opinion, qualify as Kauntheya , because Kunti was a dutiful mother to all of the Pandavas equally well, according to the Puranas. But, it was only during the epic Mahabharatha war , long after Pandu's death, that Karna was revealed and acknowledged as Kunti's son , and thus Karna did not qualify as a Pandava or else, Draupadi would have had a 6th husband too.

*All are characters of the beautiful Ancient Indian Epic - The Mahabharatha , the longest poem ever written in world literature. It is said about Mahabharatha that , “Whatever is here is found elsewhere. But whatever is not here is nowhere else.”
