THE STORY OF THE GUY FROM KATHIWAD: Part 2

Karan came into the world on a stormy monsoon September night in Durgapur.

When his mother Fajuba started having labor pains, her mother Fagjiba told her son-in-law Teshar Sinh to take his wife to the hospital. Teshar Sinh had just finished a good dinner and was enjoying listening to the radio. He said he would take her in the morning. His mother-in-law told him not to be silly.

So Teshar Singh reluctantly took his wife to the local hospital at ten in the night. Karan was born at 2.30 in the morning.

After birth the Marathi lady doctor asked Fajuba what she wanted; a son or a daughter. Fajuba said ever since she had lost a son, her mother-in-law had told her that a woman should at least have two sons.

"What if the baby is a daughter?" asked the doctor.

"Then I will accept it as God's will," replied Fajuba.

"It is a son," said the doctor and held the baby boy inverted holding him by his legs.

Fajuba saw the tiny penis and heaved a sigh of relief. Thank God it was a son.

Karan was thus born.
