I Didn't expect to be expecting By Richa Mukherjee





 Listen my neighbours also never  wanted to have kids and today the wife was crying saying they want children ,but her husband's potli has stopped working.
What do you mean stopped working ? it's not a tap! I quipped.

Disclaimer: This book is strictly for newly married couples or couples with the question" to be or not to be"   ( parents). Any one reading without prior experience about " Married life and the surrounding people" might not able to relate with real life situation.

Tara and Abhi  was having  the best moments of their life. Perfect friend circle, foreign vacation ,weekend parties and little bit of gyaan about having a baby and biological clock ticking from here and there which they happily ignored. Life was smooth  until they went for vacation in Italy and Tara  became pregnant. The story then takes on a hilarious turns on Tara's pregnancy and the surrounding people which includes her maid, parents, In-law, doctor and henceforth.

My view : 
The story is from Tara's point of view. The narration was hilarious. with Bengali expressions.

There were few points in the book which I feel  is relatable, which includes people constantly pushing you off the edge to think about baby,or  pregnancy myth which  people pass  on to generations.
The hideous hormonal mood swings  -The overwhelming feeling which one might get looking at food
and the doctor and checkups and lastly the entire labour room and holding the baby for the first time  is something to Awww about!

RATING :4/5


What is the most  ridiculous Pregnancy Myth you have heard?
