I recently participated in a not-so-short conversation with my good friend Madhu for his podcast Better Dad, and basically spoke about my desire to not be a parent. He is a new father and is one of the most conscious people I know: he doesn’t take his filial role lightly. Maybe that’s why it was a delight about something not many are keen on addressing. We are gradually reaching the stage where the question is changing from “why don’t you have kids?” to “why do you want to have kids?”—and this shift is laden with a lot of discomfort for all parties involved.
