It was early 1933 when my grandma got pregnant and didn't realize she was for a while. Not being married at the time she and my grandpa got married as soon as possible not realizing till later the day, April 1st! My mother was born later that year, Friday Oct. 13th! No joke! Thanks for your tale DG.

Not only indian, all calendars of the world's ancient cultures have a common new year fortnight, in April.....

Good story as far as it goes. Needs a little more. Senses are too short. Gives it a real choppy feeling. And a little bit of disjointedness in the narration. Still waiting for the April Fool's joke though. There's no punch line at the end, no surprise, Etc. Nice to have a decent story though where are the characters aren't complete scumbags are stupid self-centered women looking for their 'needs' to be met at the cost of everybody else's lives and happiness...
