Karma SutraI watched the movie Julie/Julia the other day and I was impressed that Julie did so well out of blogging about Julia’s recipes. I thoroughly enjoyed her blogging style although I could never bring myself to wade through all those recipes in reality. I think I would have simply hired a chef and tasted them instead.
Anyway, it got me to thinking. What should I blog about next? I blog for so many other people – well, clients – and rarely have the time to think about my own blog let alone start a few more but this inspired me.
I wondered how my blog would rate if I decided to work my way through the entire Karma Sutra in similar fashion to Julie and Julia’s recipe book – however, this I would definately have to ‘wade’ through myself.
The original Karma Sutra positions were from an illustrated text on love, written by Vatsyayana. It was written in the first few hundred years after Christ was born. Written in India, the seven parts are written by seven different authors with many illustrations. There are parts about love, getting a wife, conduct for a wife, and attracting other people.
Illustrations and text are given with guidance on how to conduct ourselves with others and be proper and polite. Three versions exist of the Karma Sutra, one from the 1880s, one from 1970s, and one from 2002. The early translation isn’t as graphic because it was written in Victorian times. I have a later edition.
I put the idea to my husband as it dawned on me I’d definitely need his input (no pun intended) and, of course, his agreement that I could ‘talk’ about the experiences and the outcomes online.
He is still thinking about it after trying suggestions one, two and three.
I’m positive he’ll be only too happy if we manage to achieve positions ten onwards. Watch this space!
