Cont.2.... And this comparison spoils everything, HEALTH is WEALTH it only look good in Proverbs and Books not in real life. I am happy to know that you have GOOD HEALTH (Touch wood) . Keep going the way you are.5**** for this thoughtful poem.
Great satire on your wife in particular and to every wives in general, there are no exceptions when it comes to dealing with fairer , we all are in the same boat. No matter what, how much you have earned end result is comparison...Cont 1
Koba daridrah? Bishal trushnahi daridrah.srimanscha kah? ? Jasya samasta tosah.. Kim soukhyam? Nityamrogita.ln my opinion u are having no trouble living.Your living is best and let wives not compare things.
"Kim soukhyam? " Is a most pertinent question. Thank you dear poet.
Money isn't the most important thing in life; if you are happy with what you do for a living, you are rich in the things that count.
We need to find richness in everything we have; not in what we have not. And lead a rich life
I enjoyed the wit and wisdom in the remark. Thank you, dear poet
Written with humour and irony, this poem relates to lives of middle class whose dreams to posh living may remain unfulfilled.But you are living a worthy and healthy life, don't worry wife's grumbles.
I live my life as my conscience dictates. Thank you Bharati
If she does love you for who you are, it's unforturate but you don't need those things if you have love
The story about my wife is, but, just fiction. She is a much content person. Knows to live within our means, without any complaints

What you said is true. But what I narrated here is just a figment of imagination. Thank you

As I have just explained, the story is imaginary. But the message is not.. we, all of us fail to see the real richness, much beyond gold and the greenbacks
hahahahahaha...this is the case with me too. Constant nagging to follow others. Real write. Thanks.
A real pleasure to read! enjoyed it very much. Warm salutations.
Very clever and well written piece. Teaching invaluable lessons in a ver clever poem, that of Life's truth is a handsome piece
Your comments are crisp and shining… they make my day!
outward growth might be a subtle window to poverty (and emptiness) inside, nurture compassion and you feel alive. Comparisons are all in vain, we all lived in different pasts and contexts that determined health and wealth.5/5 thanks for these grappling lines
This simple satire was written to provoke my wife. She is the Finance Minister at home and has talent enough to run the show with whatever I earn. She is a homemaker and knows the value of money, but never complains
