Why have a kid...as per TV

This idiot box has turned all the more idiot of late...right from showing interviews of movie stars who describe their and their friends' character in a movie as.."Hum log 4 jaan hai...aur basically sab ekdam harami hai" to all those headlines in news channel about how Mika kissed Rakhi Sawant and why there wasnt any element of male chivalry and opinion polls on what could have been done better..u can expect the most bizzare of things to come on the TV...so far chalta hai but what do u do when u suddenly stop your surfing at a channel showing a panel discussion of doctors on the issue of marriage and children. Before I proceed further, let me get it very clear that I have immense regard for doctors. True, they mint money like crazy but then u cant escape the fact that nothing like a good doctor at the time of pain. Good from the professional as well as personal point of view. (Personal because u trust them and u wldnt want to be taken for a ride.) Now coming to my original point of the panel discussion. Imagine what as per the discussion was the biggest reason for having a kid. "Kids give couples a reason to talk for 25 years after the initial euphoria over marriage has subsided and hence save marriages" Now as a corrolary this means that: 1. "Couples without kids dont have anything to talk and since they dont have anything to talk about, the marriage collapses over time". 2. "Couples with kids talk about children all the time which saves the marriage from collapsing" Gentleman! what about childless couples. Do all of them break up. And also why do u need a child to create a topic to discuss? As it is, if a couple cant find any topic to talk, which in effect means that there aint any common topic or they are not comfy sharing it with the partner, it will as it is break up-child or no child. A child only furthers the intersection set between a couple's interests; it doesnt create it. Further, children are a natural milestone in the journey of life. U have children becuase thats the thing to do and not because their marriage is in jeopardy. Remember all those old Hindi movies in which the prospective grandpa said," Bete, wansh chalana hai, mujhe marne se pehle apne pote ka chehra dikha de" Ever found any married person saying "Hey, I am fearing that my marriage will collapse. Let me have a kid. He will come as a knight in shining armour to save my marriage". Common, give the kid a break. He is yet to be conceived and you are bringing him/her in conjugal issues.
