The nurses were constantly getting pregnant. Hospitals were places full of life and loss, and people often sought comfort wherever they could find it.
But when Rohaп Mehta’s second wife became pregnant—and then her third—Arjυп began to realize that she had a racial and scientific view of the way she was desmoroпaba.
Roha had been in a coma for more than three years.
He was a twenty-nine-year-old fireman who had fallen from a burning building while trying to rescue a child during a serious fire in Bombay .
From that night, he remained completely unconscious, connected to machines, in room 412-C of Shati Memorial Hospital .
Every Diwali, her family would send her flowers.
The nurses used to comment on how quiet she looked, almost serene.
Nobody expected anything but silence, until the custom began.
All the nurses who became pregnant had been assigned to Roha for long October shifts.
They all worked through the night.
All had spent countless hours in room 412-C.
