Tale: Today I found my colleague upset. He was not seen in the office for a long time but today he is upset! I went to him and asked the reason. He gave me a shocking news, that his new born twins, died. I became upset too.
He considered me as I am his close friend or relatives and vomited his sorrows. I also listened those very patiently, without letting his consideration down. His married life is only one and half years old. He is from Andhra Pradesh, a mother dominated states. They were in the heaven for last seven to eight months. His wife got pregnant as like others, he was taking care of his wife in a very neat manner. They were very happy and even we were offered a party from his side six months earlier.
When his wife entered into six months pregnancy, he asked his parents to his residency. They came and everything was going well but one day his father informed him that they were taking their daughter-in-law to their village. Though it is their first grandchild and it should be taken birth in their home. My colleague had tried a lot to convince them and failed. "You know how the old persons are! they are never solved problem. They will do what they think."
My friend narrated the facilities available here in the city and his wife was under doctor's care. The same thing might not get at his village, but his father did not agree. On his seventh month went for the medical observations and he was happy by that time because he will be having twins. He took his wife to his native and return back.
As you know Hindu traditions, they are renowned person in their village. His father celebrated that in grand. Some traditional customs were completed peacefully and happily. Finally, the pain day arrived. My friend suggested his father for his wifes back to the city, but they said, 'Nothing to worry, everything is okay here. I have words with the doctor and he is visiting us regularly. You just take care and wait for the news.' He had spoken to his wife too and got relaxed.
He got a call in the night that his wife was screaming. He could measure his father's tensions. He was asked to his native soon. He went to the hospital directly. The doctor said, they were lacking of modern instruments. His wife's condition was not too good and that was not a normal delivery. Doctor succeed in the operation and he became a father of twins but doctor did not congratulate him.
His new born babies were in danger so as his wife. His father was started celebrating. Soon, after two days, his babies were died. His wife's health is not good. His father started blaming his wife for the death of their grand son. He took next day flight and came to the city. Without a proper medical treatment, he lost his twins and his father ...
He cried. I consulate him. I advised him, what had happened is past. Now take care of your wife, she needs your cooperations and love. Next time don't repeat the same.
In the name of tradition, what old people are doing? Is it a tradition or a pain?
