'Fathered the Baby in a Month!!'

I was reading an autobiography, 'Kothi Kommachchi', a few days back. It was written by a well-known Telugu film script-writer Mullapudi Venkata Ramana (One in the famous duo of Bapu-Ramana). The book ends with a joke and this is lingering in my head for quite a long. I paraphrase it here. "There's a married couple which got divorced when the woman was eight-months old pregnant. The lady married another guy no later than the separation. After a month the lady gave birth to a baby. The overambitious newly wedded husband remarked - 'Look! I fathered the baby in a month!'. Lady - SLAP!SLAP!SLAP! Baby - CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!".

Need I answer the stupid question as to which future State - 'Telangana' or 'Seema-Andhra' - Hyderabad should belong?

(P.S: I resisted the idea as I felt applying the same to a very emotional issue may not be correct. But the way 'powers-that-be' of the 'Seemandhra' are belittling the genuine aspirations of Telangana left me with little choice!)
