Imagine, what if uncles get pregnant? I mean we already have seen such sights with extra round bellies of middle aged men who looks around 12 months pregnant. But what if biologically there is a role shift in conceiving babies? There will be these handsome hunks running and hoping around in sanitary pads commercials and swaying their hips. And instead of karina kapoor there would be saif ali khan on prega news billboards.
But moreover by this role shift there would be a shift of thoughts. In this society the girls would never be seen as obligation after all they are born by a 'man'.They say the correct way to understand someone's pain is by experiencing it. As of now the men can't experience the pain but can emphathise with who can or atleast not act as a pain in ass themselves.
Although I haven't gone through this stage of womenhood but I think the pain isn't the physical unrest but it is the mental torture or the emotional outburst and especially the situation where she feels pressurize for the outcome but can't do anything other than praying. I still remember an aunty from my previous neighbourhood who had her first child as a girl and within a year she delivered a second child as boy. Even docs do not suggest two pregnancies in such short period but just to throw out a XY chromosome creature, she gone through it all. Atleast now she and her daughter can live in peace in her own household.
Hey, by the way to all those 'padhe likhe anpadh' (as my mum says) or illeterate educated people, it's the mighty men who determines the sex of the child not the women. It's the sperm which choses to pair X or Y with Xs of women's egg.
At last aunties just be grateful to your fat bellied hubbies as although being pregnant you look much thinner than uncles.
As I was typing this, my mum approached me with twinkle in her eyes which is unusual as I was glaring on the screen, and chirped in 'Remember that aunty living a street ahead? She delivered a baby girl last night, finally after two boys mata rani entered her family'. Oops this is quite irony and it catches my attention, perplexed I asked her 'mum I guess uncle was pregnant naa then how can aunty develiver a child?'. She made a face which is a cross between disgust and horror (teens can relate with it) and replied hysterically, 'Uff this girl! you need to get out of your head'. I think I really need to get out of my head.
