I haven’t posted for a while as I have been extremely busy and caught with multiple things. This piece was written in http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/ and i can imagine this happening more often than not. We are looking for perfection in what ever we do resulting in no acceptance for things which are different or even people who can do things but do it differently. A child is born deaf resulting in some concerns from the parents about how the child will survive the harsh world. This article is about the women who have been abandoned by their husbands when they discovered so called disabilities in their children and remarried. Pressure always on the women in India – have a child, have a make child, and have a child that will be “normal”. its time Indian husbands take responsibility of their CHILDREN, whether they can speak or NOT.
Touching piece and a great story. Hats off to the Indian Mother

You are absolutely right. Women even after achieving so much professionally are still expected to behave like superhumans and balance out their personal lives.
I wish more men think like you do. Things would turn better.
