Elizabeth Barrett was born into a multimillionaire (in modern terms) family whose fortune came from Jamaican sugar plantations - worked, of course, by slaves. Her girlhood was spent very happily at the family's stately home in Herefordshire, England.
She wrote poetry from her earliest years, but at the age of 20 she began to interest wider literary circles. After the death of her mother in 1828, there followed many years of suffering and misfortune: deaths of brothers, a recurrence of her illness and the loss of the family fortune. She was a semi-invalid and nearly 40 when, miraculously, Robert Browning was allowed to visit her sick room and fell in love with her. Her widower father had forbidden his adult children to marry as he was neurotically possessive. Marry she did however - secretly - and then the couple escaped to a life in Italy. Her father never communicated with her again.
Her health recovered remarkably in the warmer, clearer air of Italy. At 43 she had her first and only child, Pen Browning. She continued writing, completing her verse-novel Aurora Leigh at the age of 50. Gradually her illness overwhelmed her. She died at the age of 55 and is buried in the old Protestant Cemetery in Florence. Casa Guidi, the Brownings' home in Florence,

Krishna's youthful dalliances with the 'gopis' are interpreted as symbolic of the loving interplay between God and the human soul. Radha's utterly rapturous love for Krishna and their relationship is often interpreted as the quest for union with the divine. This kind of love is of the highest form of devotion in Vaishnavism, and is symbolically represented as the bond between the wife and husband or beloved and lover.
Radha, daughter of Vrishabhanu, was the mistress of Krishna during that period of his life when he lived among the cowherds of Vrindavan. Since childhood they were close to each other - they played, they danced, they fought, they grew up together and wanted to be together forever, but the world pulled them apart. He departed to safeguard the virtues of truth, and she waited for him. He vanquished his enemies, became the king, and came to be worshipped as a lord of the universe. She waited for him. He married Rukmini and Satyabhama, raised a family, fought the great war at Kurukshetra, and she still waited. So great was Radha's love for Krishna that even today her name is uttered whenever Krishna is referred to, and Krishna worship is though to be incomplete without the deification of Radha.
One day the two most talked-about lovers come together for a final meeting. Suradasa in his Radha-Krishna lyrics relates the various amorous delights of the union of Radha and Krishna in this ceremonious 'Gandharva' form of their wedding in front of five hundred and sixty million people of Vraj and all the gods and goddesses of heaven. The sage Vyasa refers to this as the 'Rasa'. Age after age, this evergreen love theme has engrossed poets, painters, musicians and all Krishna devotees alike.

Nafisa retired from swimming after beating records and winning all the big titles. She has won an interclub rowing championship in Kolkata. She's been Miss India, acted in films, is a wife, mother of three and a social activist.
Born in a little Bengali village called Tajpur, 29 km from Kolkata, Nafisa spent most of her time on the athletic tracks or in the water. After water it was horses. She took up riding and became a race jockey. At 19 she was Miss India. Acting followed soon and it was during a shoot at Jaipur that she met the family of her husband to be. This led to her meeting with Major Ravinder Singh Sodhi, an ace polo player, who later went on to win the highest sports honor in the country, the Arjuna Award, and retired as a colonel. He courted her four 14 months before Nafisa - who is years younger - said yes at the age of 23. "I have to marry you because I can't do without your horses!" Great excuse! Pickles (as he is popularly known) taught her to show jump and once again she won medals.
Marriage kept her away from acting and films and took her headlong into army life. Her favorite topic is her children. She believes in spiritualism and is a social worker.
