All the pregnancy books focus on expectant mothers but rarely do they focus on giving good, wholesome advice to expectant fathers, RK reflects glumly. He has been told a countless times by his own mother and every other well-meaning but nosy relatives to take utmost care of his Biwi. Her delicate condition should be handled with extreme caution and sensitivity, as they would often say.
He loves his Biwi and thanks God every day that he doesn't have to carry the burden of bringing their child into the world like Madhu. RK is thankful he doesn't have to cope with swollen feet, back aches, uber sensitive olfactory sense and all the other discomforts that are associated with being pregnant.
Nonetheless, he is coping with a pregnant Biwi who is experiencing varied extreme emotions in matters of seconds. And it just leaves his head spinning. All the advice RK has received so far, is to just shut his trap and give in to all of her demands. He has been told many times, threateningly if he might add, to just nod his head and say yes to anything and everything his Biwi says. But that is no advice, RK thinks annoyed. He needs a guidebook on how he can survive through this phase. Screw that! He needs a support group to see him through to the end of the journey, to the birth of their child. RK reiterates in his mind, he loves Madhu but if she demands his response for one more hypothetical situation which, if he might add, is always denounced as wrong, he will scream at the top of his lungs.
