It was about 3.40 pm,sitting in the department of radiology and preparing for going to home .
"Sir ---sir --sir ----- middle aged women rushed to my room and said sir ,i want to be examined by USG .My abdomen is increasing day after day."
"OK,come tommorrow ,now time is over.Show me the paper."
"Sir ,i donot have any paper . I have been suggested to come here.Iwant myself to be examined right now ."
"Madam ,time is over ,come tommorrow and bring the prescription also---i repeated."
Sir .you will do ultrasound definitely tomorrow --inquired with an element of doubt over my assurance.
Thereafter she left the department with one of bearded person looking like SADHU.
Next day , she came with prescription with advice of usg of whole abdomen.
Sir ,do you remember ,you called me today for ultrasound ?
Remmembering that lady and asked her to wait for her turn.
Finally she was lying on the examination table for ultrasound of whole abdomen .Sir ,my abdomen is increasing in size day by day .Sir is it ok? Sir what is the problem ?
I was doing usg giving attention to what she was saying.
Suddenly ,i asked ---"how many children have ?"
"Sir ,three"
"how many children you want "?
"Sir ,no more child sir . my eldest child is 12yrs old ,it is difficult to bring up three children. i only know how i am taking care of them.
"SO what will you do of this pregnancy" ?
"What"?
"Yes ,you have pregnancy of 8weeks"?
She spoke nothing ,perhaps her fear of pregnancy made her dumb?
She just started snobbing .
"Why are you weeping"?
She kept mum.
Sir, now you advise me sir .My destiny is like that . Who cares a lady like me in this world. I am destined to be exploited?
Her tone and tenor compelled me to probe further. And what unfolded was a story for which a civilised society has no reason to boast of.
She was from Assam.Her 12 yrs old son was brought by an agent in Delhi for work about one year back.
Since then she had no contact with his son . So she came to Delhi to find out her son.
But she could not be trace her son .She was given wrong address.A temple was nearby the given address.So she took shelter of temple and continued to search her son .
Her son was nowhere to be found. Of course ,a event took in the premises of the temple which culminated in her 8 week pregnancy
So she was restless ,so she was concerned about her increasing abdomen size .
Now who will take care of her?
Will Delhi afford to accept HER in totality?Will Delhi return her son?
Will even Delhi be civilised enough to send her back to native place?
I doubt ,and unfortunately i am part of that so- called civilised metro world of Delhi.
Only solace is that i could tell her cause of her increasing abdomen size ,but certainly that is not enough.
