Hmm… I’ve been hearing people say she probably went to a quack and in some other blogs about how it is NOT heroic to go to the court coz its just the right thing to do and that our definitions of heroism are shallow. Fair enough. But I will not blame her if she did go the quack ( which is a theory I do not believe) and about being heroic for doing the right thing, hey, how many of us do it? So yes, it takes some courage not to give that bribe, not to break that traffic signal and to go to court on such a personal matter.

Whatever happened, happened for the best and by God’s will. Atleast she is out of the previous trauma.

A sad story all around. I hope things work out for her next time.

I think it’s true that she miscarried – ToI, at least, has carried at least three reports and it looks like there are doubts whether it’s a natural miscarriage or not, not said in so many words but in replies from the husband to suggestive questions. I wish people would leave them alone!

I kept on thinking of the poor foetus as I read it – whether it can sense that it is unwanted. Fanciful, I know. Sigh. There is no right way.

I read in the paper this morning that the news about her miscarriage was false. She snapped at some reporter when they were hounding her..and her husband clarified that its not true..but news channels are showing it..so who knows maybe its true

Lekhni: Oh? But the (online version of) ToI and HT are carrying the news, and even quoting her husband as ascribing it to high blood pressure and stress caused by media coverage!

sad … but, maybe it was for the best..
imagine a child that is born that is unwanted and then told that its mother was forced to carry it…. trauma on child.. trauma on parents …
can one will a miscarriage, i wonder ?

Lekhni: My feelings exactly!
On willing a miscarriage, that would be some willpower, or rather, wont-power!

Man proposes, God disposes. In this case Nature as the God did it.

Lekhni: I agree Well, the decision has been taken out of Niketa’s hands.
