Into the 7th episode & it feels like her life may have a change with the three single men in her life. I Sang is having thoughts of her after their short trip & the Dr may propose to her. But the question remains. Why can’t she have a baby that she wants? Why can’t be her decision to raise the child on her own?
The state of women all over is the same. At one time I went through novels where the protagonist goes for surrogacy. I had to give a talk in our book club about the recent trends & thoughts regarding women. To get a sperm from the bank & have a child. But it is not so simple.
How she meets with a potential donor, who wants to fleece her by a huge sum. The desperation shows & there are opportunists lurking shamelessly. Fortunately the police arrive & he is taken away. Not before her face gets flashed on TV! It has consequences & she is suspended for a month.
This issue has been handled so neatly in ‘Vicky Donor’ which became a surprise hit that year. The issue less couples found him to be a boon. Without going overboard & deftly handling a sensitive issue was the utmost skill. It was done beautifully.
To have children, to wish to have children is an innate emotion. Body is just the medium. But as the age advances the possibilities start diminishing & the desperation kicks in. It’s okay to be not married or not to have kids. But the societal norms are such that the individuals are under constant stress.
I had a friend who would call me & stand outside the gate. I wondered why she couldn’t come in for a cup of tea. But that opened discussion or conversation & she mostly wanted no talk about not having an issue. I am sure those of us who never faced this issue are unaware of the trauma it causes.
I have also seen a lady playing with a baby size doll & carrying it everywhere. After losing her child during childbirth caused so much trauma that she couldn’t handle it. She was with her family at Someshwar & carrying the doll everywhere.Why should marriage be complete only after having kids? Shouldn’t it be the choice of the parents-to-be?
I am learning along with every episode. Sometimes it is too teary but I manage to move forward. Sometimes it’s too cliche but then life is like that.
