We have been debating endlessly on what Ashutosh and Nidhi want...I am beginning to wonder what the yet to be conceived child wants..it probably makes no sense to think this way since it is not yet in existence...and yet, I can't help thinking...

What does a child want? A child wants new clothes to wear, toys to play with, chocolates and sweets to eat, a good house to live in and so on. However, a child could do without all of this and still grow up to be an emotionally balanced individual. What it can't do without however is the feeling of being wanted. And who better than Ashutosh to know this? We don't know the circumstances under which he was orphaned. whether his parents died or whether he was abandoned at birth. But his complex character hints at a painful past.

Nidhi clearly does not want a child now. She is categorical on that. If she is coerced into it, she is going to resent it and blame it for the lack of opportunities in her life. Forget whether Ndihi desrves it or not, but does a child have to enter into this world, loaded with that kind of baggage?

A child should the embodiment of mutual love, it should be a celebration of that love. It should be received with boundless joy and gratitude for it is a blessing of Nature. If a child is not going to be perceived or wanted that way, then that child is better off unborn!

I don't think this child wants to be born yet, not until both its parents want it with all their hearts and are willing to perceive it as not a responsibility but rather a blessing that brings them boundless joy!

This child would prefer to wait until it is actually wanted!

Sujatha i totally agree with your thoughts. The feeling of unwantedness and rejection no one can under understand better than Him. Marriage is not a compramise, its a choice they made. Postponing the discussion will never lead to a solution. Ashu understands her dreams and gave in for timebeing, but is sulking. Nidhi should also think from his side and take a decision, instead of vague 'kuch saal' & Ashu need to master the art of communication.

Nandini, that is the issue that most couples face...the inability to communicate their innermost desires and wants to each other...sigh!

But, am now thinking of the child...both parents are focused more on what they want rather than what the other wants...and the reasons behind the same...the child is better off not being conceived until such a time when they learn to listen to each other!

You are right Sujatha
A child is the greatest gift.
It is Gods gift . And if cannot Respect that gift, it is better to not accept it.
A child should be wanted, loved, cherished, and adored, not resented. And that is exactly what will happen if Nidhi gives in right now. She needs to want to have a baby as much as Ashu does

really child don't know what has been given to him,bec at that stage we are caretaker/parents who understand child's necesity.and here i [my pov]thinks nidhi's reaction was too rude.when you can control the whole children word why don't you adjust yourself for child.ashu showed his understanding but she noticed at all about his unsatisfaction clearly.but she didn't care that.and only bus bol diya?baat nahi karenge.i really feel bad for ashu .god had given the power to women who can carry baby and give a strength to deliver them.but man should not be like begging or requesting for a baby like this.

True Anu...having a child requires a certain amount of selflessness...the ability and the whole-hearted desire and commitment to put the child ahead of you...to want to do so with all your heart...Nidhi has clearly stated that she is not yet there...so why burden a poor child with a reluctant mother then?

I did read it and noted the responses...but believed then and now, that you made a valid point..but, as a rule, I don't respond to poll responses...because it is your reason for voting a particular way...I feel that is not up for debate...!
