Want to make God laugh...tell him your plans...


There’s a Marathi serial on TV which endorses the concept of Surrogacy…now for those who don’t know about surrogacy….the term literally means using a substitute mother in place of natural mother to conceive a child… ….
so this couple, married for 10 years or so….have tried every option possible in the world – scientific and otherwise …nothing has worked for them….as the last hope…they decide to opt for surrogacy…they put an ad in the paper to look out for the willing candidates….after screening and scanning hundreds of options, finally a girl (who is incidentally heroine of the serial…and who is against this concept theoretically) unwillingly agrees to volunteer...feeling burden of huge financial pressure on her….’cos this couple is rich enough…and ‘M’ factor is not a problem….so she agrees…takes the money (signing amount…J)…and they start the procedure….after all the filmy dramas and twists…the girl is now pregnant…couple is on cloud nine…finally the things r falling in place….
And now suddenly the ‘original’ mother is carrying….after 10 years….and the couple no longer want the child for which they have spent loads of money….they want their biological child….and the hapless girl is left to her fate…unmarried but pregnant…I mean I don’t get this…is this God’s idea of a private joke or something…or is he in the mood for some mischief….they say…’want to make God laugh…tell him your plans’…..how true…
