Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The material in the first part of Dr. Radin’s book demands serious attention, along with a thorough revision of current beliefs about the background and origin of moral and social theories.
#2 The second part of the book is devoted to the higher aspects of primitive thought. It is clear that objects and nature were conceived dynamically, and that change, transition, were primary. The world was not seen as a collection of sense-data, but as a dynamic entity.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I was getting married. I had gotten engaged a few weeks ago. A wedding date had not been discussed, but it seemed like it was in the distant future. But now my fiancé had arrived from New York, and I had to get married.

#2

I was getting married in a week, and my mother had saved all the fabrics I had picked out for my trousseau. She had brought them out to show me, and had brought the head tailor out to take my measurements.

#3

I was so swept up in the moment that I almost lost sight of the fact that I was getting married to someone I had never met and leaving my family behind to start a new life with someone completely new to me.

#4

I received proposals from families I did not know. My parents would turn them down, either for the same reason or because they deemed the match unsuitable. Most proposals were from families we did not know, and they heard about me through word of mouth.

#5

I was constantly getting proposals, and my parents would always turn them down. The family of the boy would come visit us, and I would get to see the boy in person if things progressed to a point where my parents would seriously consider the proposal.

#6

My path and the Rehman family’s had never crossed until Auntie Hameeda came to visit. She was an unassuming lady with gentle manners and a quiet disposition, and I felt at ease with her around. She had a big envelope in her hand.

#7

I began examining the photos, trying to read everything I could from a few images. The close-up was in black and white, and he had curly hair like mine, sideburns, and gleaming straight teeth. In another photo, he stood under the cherry blossom trees in full bloom.

#8

I had arranged a meeting between Khalid and my parents, and after tea, aunts, uncles, and cousins came to visit us to evaluate Hameeda, they began to discuss marriage prospects for me.

#9

I was told in no uncertain terms that I was a big girl now and was no longer allowed to play with boys. I went to an all-girls high school, an all-girls college, and an all-girls graduate college. I didn’t even speak with my male cousins.

#10

My mother went to visit the family of her prospective son-in-law, Khalid, to get a sense of them and their children. She asked all the questions you would ask about a prospective husband.

#11

My parents, my sister Neena who was home on college break, and I traveled to Multan to meet with Khalid’s family. I was nervous, but excited to meet them. I was introduced to seven siblings, fourteen names when you factor in the given names and the nicknames.

#12

I was home alone when they returned. They gathered around me, each raising their voice above the other. Khalid has an eye for photography, Uncle said. He took this photograph of a plane taking off over the Jefferson Memorial, and he caught the jet stream in the photo.

#13

Rehana, Khalid’s sister, came to visit me the next day. She began a series of all-day lobbying sessions. She praised her brother constantly, and drove home the point with anecdotes.

#14

I fell in love with Rehana, my future wife, and we became very close. She would visit me at the hospital every day until I left, and I would listen to her talk about her brother. I never asked her any questions about him, because that was not my place.

#15

I read Khalid’s letter over and over again. And when all was said and done, the verdict was issued: it was a nice letter. I had no intentions of settling in the United States.

#16

I was engaged, and I was excited. I designed and ordered the engagement announcement card. I had gift boxes with ladoos ordered and delivered them to family and friends. My friends at college shrieked when I walked into class.

#17

In 1971, girls of marriageable age in Pakistan were required to be in a state of readiness to get married as soon as Prince Charming came along. Taking up a job would chip away at their marriageability, so those who were pushy enough were able to convince their parents that they should enroll in a master’s degree program in English literature.

#18

I was to get engaged without a ring, and have an engagement ceremony without the fiancé. It was the first engagement in both families, and they wanted to formalize it with a ceremony.

#19

The wedding was planned for next month, but Mummy had to send a telegram to Khalid asking him to come next month for the wedding. Four days later, Khalid landed in Pakistan.

#20

The card that Khalid had sent me was a beautiful moment of romance in my life. It made me feel loved and beautiful, and I put it by my bedside. It was soon gone.

#21

The author’s husband, Khalid, was asked to marry her parents’ choice. He was not ready, but he went along with it anyway. When he got the news that her parents had accepted the proposal, he had second thoughts.

#22

The decision to get married was made by Khalid’s parents, and he had to go along with it. He sent a telegram to his parents and got onto the plane.

#23

When Khalid announced that he wanted to go to Rawalpindi to meet my family, Auntie Hameeda was flustered. She was busy with the wedding preparations, so she told him that she could not go with him. Rehana readily offered to go by herself.

#24

I was waiting for something to happen, and I was nervous. I was presented to Khalid, and as he looked up, our eyes met for an instant. I greeted him with the blessing of peace, and sat down at the far end of the table.

#25

I had a wedding to plan, and I was grateful that I was calm and relaxed. I had stopped being conscious of Khalid’s presence and went about my business. I had a wedding to plan, not very romantic.

#26

I was very excited to meet my Americanized fiancé’s family, and I was ecstatic when he brought so much joy into our home. Everyone fell in love with him, and he brought a collection of music he had recorded on the spool tape.

#27

I showed Khalid the ring, and he was surprised. His only moment of confusion came when my friends shrieked and squealed when he gave me a sideways hug. But after that, everyone liked him.
