The colony Ganesh committee worked out I'm pregnant before my sister did
We'd told our parents and nobody else. Then yesterday at the pandal planning meeting I said no to the laddoo, said I couldn't stay for the late puja rehearsal, and sat down while everyone else was carrying chairs. One of the aunties looked at me, then at my stomach, and asked "good news?" in front of about twenty people. My partner pretended to take a phone call. My sister lives in Pune and I now have to call her before the colony WhatsApp does.
