Show and Tell: Capping an Year and Talking of S€X

To peak a whole year of Show and Tells, Mel asked the class to bring its favourite Show and Tell for this particular one. Out of the 29 Show and Tells, that I have done, I want to bring to class this particular Show and Tell:

Show and Tell: A Book to Remember posted on November 02, 2008!

I was torn between two Show and Tells, and I chose this one because it belongs to an era when I had little audience. Hence, this Show and Tell received less attention than the other one.

To check what everybody else brought check out Mel's blog!

But to the circle meet for this Show and Tell, today I have got something which is something I have never talked of - Books!

Ya I know I know...I do a lot of books...so stop being so agitated at me!

You see, my mother sent me two books, saying that it would be more useful for me to have them.

The books talk of s€x...

But the importance of those books lies in completely different directions...

Those books were gifted to my mother by her eldest sister sometime in 1975 - 1976, right before my mother got married. The books are a general treatise for men and women about how to approach the intimate aspect of marriage.

Those two books are priceless for me because of the direction and the hands that they passed through...but guess what...atleast one of the book lists its publication details as 1933, Lahore!






The two books are not in a good shape...their pages are intact but the cover/title page of one of them is completely lost, and the other book's title is evident from the inside, but nothing is available about when it was published or such.





My mother has never gone through the books [that's what she says ; )], and she chanced upon them and started reading....guess what, the books talk of infertility, and speak of finding a cause in the male / female and even retroversion!

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough. I should have known. ...Visitors who came to see me in the hospital did not look me straight in the eye. I should have known. ...My mother sounded reluctant every time I asked her on a timeline on when my stitches would be cut and I could travel to Very Big City. I should have known. ...I grieved at how many pricks and tubes were affixed to my little baby while she lay cold and unfeeling at the bottom of an earth pit fatigued from all the effort she put into staying alive. I should have known. ...Family dropped clues on how oxygen deprivation could affect the brain. I spelt it out for them. I told them that Lola was my daughter even if she came out r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d from the o...

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
