Give and Take of Marriage
Hamare Muhalle main aik sahab apni biwi ko khub pitte the, aur aksar ghar se bahir nikal ke pitte the. Aik din main muhalle pe paan wale ki dukan se apni gold leaf khareed raha tha to aik buzurg ne un sahab se kaha;
"Bhai jawani main biwi pe rahem karo, woh burhape main tum pe rahem kare gi"

Easter and full moon
Pardon my ignorance but I just learned that:
"Easter is determined as the first Sunday after the first full moon (Paschal Full Moon) after the vernal equinox."
The vernal equinox is the equinox in spring, on about March 20/21 in the northern hemisphere and September 22 in the southern hemisphere. This is when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length.
This mystifies me due to my perpetual fascination with full moons.
