page 1
There was once a day when the great mathematician Bhāskara
consulted the horoscope of his daughter, Lilavati.
The stars said that if the marriage of Lilavati didn't happen on the
most auspicious of all hours, the mathematician's daughter
would be, soon, a widow.
Bhāskara ordered then that the exactitude of the hour was to
be assured by the most precise water-clock of all India
page 2
However, while waiting for the right hour, the bride Lilavati
bent over the waters of the clock, trying to guess how much
waiting time was still ahead.
It was then that something happened. Without anyone noticing
the hour went by, and with it, the groom's longevity was gone.
At night, someone said that a pearl is something perfect that an
oyster does with what hurts her inside.

Bom dia!
Vejo que continuas em força, e agora mais internacional do que nunca!
É raro eu estar por Portugal, mas ainda te devo um jantar e tenho de te passar as coisas do Cultural Puzzle of Love (se não te dou já isso só nos encontramos para festejar os 10 anos do projecto!) :)
Ainda tens o mesmo número?
Bem, mas só passei aqui para te dar um forte abraço! ;-)

Mais um trabalho incrivel!
Gosto mesmo muito da simplicidade do teu traço.

rodvil » Em boa verdade, não janto desde há dois anos, quando fiz o desenho, e o intervalo entre lanche e ceia é, desde então, sempre passado a remoer pragas com o teu nome. :)
Espero que os teus projectos estejam a correr bem miúdo. Um abraço
Susana » este trabalho tem dividido as opiniões como poucos. Bom ouvir a tua facção, Susana. Mais trabalhos, em breve.
