Childbearing. Two opposites copulate to give birth to a new set of genes and in Indian scheme of things it is the progression of ‘Khandaan” – furtherance of your pedigree and your family name.

A child is the most adorable creation of the Gods and only a monster may not fall to its charms. The entire process of childbearing is the orchestration of the sexual functions which is nothing short of a miracle – two microscopic cells come together to bring in a soul which has over 35 trillion cells and 11 organ systems which are as complex as the NASA’s latest rocket. In most of the cases, the pleasure and ecstasy of the sexual act drives the pathfinder to this miracle and makes you believe the ‘simplicity of a complex creation’.
