Patradoot Or the Messenger 41 / 50

Patradoot or The Messenger 41 / 50 English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Originally written in Hindi by my Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor You will be welcomed by my beloved, Amid the cool warmth of her tender breasts, She would make you her precious garland, To remove the agonies of her anxious heart. She would feel shy to read my letter, Before the elders of my family, dear letter, Close to her heart, she would hide you in her blouse, While hiding even the pleasures, from her over splashing heart. Feeling shy before others, she would not hear my messages there While holding you close to her heart, like a priceless gem, She would take you to her room to hear you at ease, dear letter and To love and adore you, since you are from the place of her love. Remembering her love, she would take you to the room Which she used to decorate with the delicacies of her hands The alluring simple beauty of her charms and of the room Used to fascinate me to, get lost in the sweetness of her arms. You would see the soft and milky white sheet, Which she herself spreads on the bed every day, Here you would also feel, a dim intoxicating fragrance, Which my beloved used to spray, before we go to bed every day.

The reader can see how important it was for your father to have the ability to share his words of love with your mother while he was in prison, Ravindra. He describes her so beautifully and anticipates that she will hide his correspondence next to her heart. These writings are very tender and inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing them with us. Love, Carolyn
