Thus spoke Bapu...

"Brothers, and sisters, as I have said earlier also, sex is a sin.





Sex is a sin for Hindus, every single Hindu.






A man or woman, should never indulge in intercourse, until they desire to have a child.






I know, when you share the same room, it becomes quite difficult a thing to do. I would suggest, you sleep in different rooms, until you are really sure, that, you want to have a child.






Sex is one of the greater sins of Hindus, and will only debase us, as one of the Hindu race."












I couldn't quite understand all of it. But, I felt privileged that, Bapu had thought of considering me, by his side.





I longed for no more.

My mother, Kasturba, and .........








I just didn't want to lose Bapu.






He had turned my mother, unusually, but truly.
