A virgin as yet unknown to men.

I had a virgin not so long ago.

A strange girl with a face

like a Queen.

Sometimes I still long for her.

All the way from the Himalayas.

Padmini herself.

A fresh rose of the gutter

to bloom only for you.

Almost the face of a Queen.

I'll take her.

Enjoying? Huh?

Oh, rasa!

You have seen how some men

can be like animals,

but it is not all men.

I don't believe Jai kumar

is like that.

And since when is woman simply

a helpless animal?

Just like men, we are awake

And filled with longing.

But - -

no buts.

Passion remains the spirit

behind existence, maya.

Nothing will ever change that.

It's how we use our passion

that is of essence.

Now we must listen to what

the kamasutra teaches,

that the true union

between man and woman

can take us beyond this

animal lust into total trust

And merging with the other,

where each becomes both.

Imagine such bliss.

The story you told me

about the courtesan and her son,

it was you, wasn't it?

Jai.

I made some coconut rice for you.

I know you don't usually eat

when you work.

Something's wrong.

What is it? Tell me.

I' m working differently.

But that's good, isn't it?

She's beautiful.

Something about being with you has

when I work,

I see you all the time.

You're with me at every moment.

Is that all you see in me,

your work,

a piece of stone?

What if I can't work properly

without you?

You don't have to.

We can work together.

No. I've never needed anyone.

I've never need

to rely on anyone.

We can't be together.

Don't fall in love with me.

You were the one that talked

about love all the time.

And now it's facing you,

you run from it.

Sometimes things

don't make sense immediately.

I have known him a few years now.

He is used to being alone.

Be patient, maya.

Be patient.

I would have done anything

just to be with him.

What kind of love are you

talking about,

real love?

If you're looking for real love,

you've chosen

the hardest task of all.

The work for which all

other work is but preparation.

But I was ready.

I wanted to give myself to him.

Love does not mean surrender

losing yourself.

It is a call to ripen.

Don't look for straight lines,

maya.

Life is never like that.

I want to understand properly,

rasa devi.

I want to learn

about the rules of love

And how to apply them.

And if I can't use them

on the one I love...

I'll use them on the ones I don't.

Teach me.

I' m ready.

At all times and in all countries,

there's ever been a little rivalry

between the chaste

And the unchaste.

But while some women

are born courtesans,

Let's face it,

every woman has got

an inkling of the profession
