I was interviewed by "The Pioneer"

Hello, hello, hello!!

It is been ages since I penned down something, not that I was having a writer's block. Work and more work has kept me busy and I am glad for that. The past few months have been quite stressful and work helped me not sit down and wallow in pity.

Many people reached out to me after I wrote My experiments with infertility and Dealing with infertility. Some got in touch via email, some via Facebook, and many others though the group I started on Facebook called "Aadhar".

One day I get an email from the newspaper, "The Pioneer", asking me, whether I would be comfortable talking about my experience. Since I was always vocal about my experience with infertility, I had no qualms talking about it.

I was interviewed over the telephone and the article was published on 2/2/2013. Here is the link to the article.

  3. Good work Vinita. There are few who are ready to talk about it. I know of a couple in Pune who faced the same problem and more than that, the problem created by the society. (finally they had quadrapulets)

  7. Thanks..I believe that If I can speak about it, I should. After all there is too much stigma attached to this..

  8. Thanks Joe. I agree that not many people can talk mainly because they are scared of society or because their family is not supportive...


    Glad to know that the couple found their rays of sunshine...

    Very relevant article Vinita ! With more and more couples facing infertility due to various reasons in today's fast life style, in the background of an intrusive society in which predominant sections still measure a woman's worth by her fertility, there is a strong need for couples to be strong about it and find their own groove of happiness.
    Appreciate your being frank and having the courage to be open about it !

    I have always appreciated you for speaking about infertility. I have seen some people suffer in silence. And kudos to you for starting Aadhaar. We need these sanctuaries to connect with people going through what we are going through.

  17. Thanks Rachna. Many people don't have the support of their spouse and family and hence cannot speak so openly..

  18. It requires immense courage to talk about your personal experiences. I'm sure you are an inspiration for scores of couples facing similar issues.
