He further said that when I was born, there was mourning in my family. My mother went into depression. What was wrong with him? There was a lot of pressure on him. Society had put so much pressure on them that we only want a boy. Imagine, my poor mother was only 17 years old at that time. Imagine how difficult it must have been to get pregnant and give birth, when people are saying 10 things to you instead of congratulating you. My grandmother used to say that if there are boys, the roots go into the ground.
