convenience


This a sudden thought that spranged up my mind when i went to see the new born baby of my cousin.That was a caeserain[ first to be done to get caeser out of her mother's womb]. In earlier times, it was believed, at least in the hindu customs, that a baby should be born by natural birth and anything that happens before the desired time is not a good omen and the baby wont be a healthy one too.I dont know how much credibility is in this statement but I am used to hear such comments.
But this has become completely out of the way. As per the doctors a child can be taken out its mother's womb when it completes 8 months growth. That means there is no point in mothers crying out the labour of 10 months carriage and there is no labour pain atall. This leads to the age old belief that eve was punished to have labour pain during the birth of a child for her disobedience.Since there is no labour what pain!!!!!!!!
Coming back to the birth of the child, as the mothers and the uncles where talking about the preparation of horoscope of the new born , it suddenly struck my mind,when its a preplanned delivery of a child what are these planets and grahas have to do with it? Its is not as said" god given". It has become "Dr. given".Many gynacologists admit that since there is the possiblity of taking the child out through operation many people nowadays prefer that and the most funny part is that they will go to astrologers and decide the most auspicious day so that the child should be born when the planets are in good mood.
The whole system is got, I dont know if I can use the word wrong but yes of course changed. Its not for the sake of the belief that God decides the time of birth , it because at least the things which can happen naturally should be allowed to be so. After all it has a natural cycle which has to be revolved.
