Dedicated to dristi and putti...who were ahead in posting on the same lines as my thoughts based on Amma II convo
XX, XY and the basics of biology
Arrival of babies cause for celebration
Gender of the baby determines extent of celebration
Though the mother or her body has no role to play in the gender of the baby
Dependent on the gender Blame is meted out to her and congratulations to the father
Amma had often faced the brunt but her girls turned out into remarkable gems
Paati rejoiced at yet another grandson little realising the difference in her sons and the gem Vandhu is
The Bhallas await a princess now, would be delighted if a dozen Dancing Princesses II for them can line up
Navarathri the time girls most adored in an iyer home
On the second day this year we read Amma voice her pain and desire
After II's admittance of the worship her expectant body craves her gushing over kick she awaits
We read her panic at the kicking duel and her dread of what it does to her
II's obsession with her dude Dad's obsession with the angel, The angel's obsession in her best friend AKA her Appa
The attention and details of the angels skills and antics they savor, undivided attention she gets
Castor and Pollox a tsunami will be attention divided and Amma's pets
When Sahana completes the family II will have a handful to manage and a collection of pets
Tubes worry her and her parents and her threats to have them tied worry the dude and his family
Celebrations all around manner and extent and perspectives vary
