10 MONTHS OF GESTATION

There is a common tradition in our country which binds us all in one page. This tradition in form of a famous adage cultivated from the films and various other sources has become an important part of our matron tongue. " 10 months of gestation"; due to my south Indian kinship am abided to translate it - " pathu maasam somakredhu".

This cliché has made a deal with my mother ever since i was born. She drills with this quote every time she turns outrageous. I take this as the platform to attack it back.

Not trying to be an apologist against the GREAT MOTHER society; but just vocalizing the quote in the infant dimension.

10 months seems to be along period to be maturing inside the womb.Conceiving and dangling around is easier than to be confined inside the dark room. And with special addition; they get extra ordinary care and love; then where do we the offspring fit with the sympathy.

You don't have the rights to move around, eat the same for 300 days , no entertainment but just the solitary confinement. These days are a hell to pass by in our lifetime; but still we hear the humming. For this soul reason i couldn't bare the ambience inside; so jumped out in 7 months

( don't say premature but very adventurous at that time).
