Ideally, i would want babies to just magically appear. While god was designing the human body and procreation, i often wonder, why he did not make it easier and less messy. I mean there could be this magical la la land, where you could go and register yourself for a baby, they would take your blood samples and after 9 months you would go and pick up a baby. Why does the woman have to get pregnant and then all the bodily changes, heart burn, stretch marks (I dint get any and i can tell you how) and a million other things. I guess there is a la la land today and its called surrogate.
Infact, now that i think about it, even sex. It could have been something like a handshake maybe. Imagine if it were, no one had to take their clothes off, you could just do it as easily if you were light or heavy and you could do it discreetly in public... hahaha wow imagination does run wild. But then it isn't that simple, why, because, if it were so simple, it wouldn't make the world go round like it does. And because at the end of all my imaginative wonderings of this nature i end up marveling at how clever and beautiful mother Nature is. If you think about it, even the way a woman's body is structured, requires consent, willingness and pleasure before it opens up to a man. Nature is so deceptive, yet so obvious.
This just reminded me of a scene from the movie Kamasutra where Rekha is teaching the art of seduction to the ladies of the palace as a proficient and experienced courtesan. Who could ever play that role but Rekha, the eternal seductress.
Rekha then reminds me of Amitabh Bachchan, who my mother admires most ardently. She believes Amitabh Bachchan is a man of grace, principles and good family background. She also believes like most people of her generation that Rekha seduced an innocent married man that was Amitabh. Even though i'm not an admirer of either of them, this belief my mother so passionately verbalizes makes my blood boil no end. It shames me no end when i catch myself defaulting to these kind of thoughts in other situations. Is it such a basic instinct to blame the woman.
Believe it or not, i tried to reason it with my mother, believe it or not, she did not have an answer. It was so satisfying, yet i could not have her change her mind. If Amitabh Bachchan being a grown man was having a full blown public affair with Rekha, he clearly wanted to do it. If we are expected to believe that he was under a spell and his mind wasn't functioning, then clearly Rekha is much more talented than she is given credit for and mrs. bachchan is alot less scary than she is made out to be in media. At the end of the day, Amitabh Bachchan is still Mr. Bachchan and Amit Ji hosting KBC season 23, while Rekha is a recluse. I would be too if i were in her situation.
