Well, the place isn't going to change overnight. I have two daughters and every time I go to India , I hear stupid people speaking out their stupid thoughts on girl child. These are well educated people , leading a comfortable middle class / middle upper class life who voice such opinions. I'm extremely perplexed and secretly curse them, a girl child may never be born in your family and you may never know what is it to have a girl child and so on (you definitely don't want to hear the trail end of the curse;))
A relative casually comments that you need to pray harder for a boy child , and I read somewhere that only if you pray that you want to give birth to God himself will you be gifted with a girl child. I smile and curse her.
Another relative comments that my younger daughter being slightly hyperactive , should give me a taste of what a son is like. I smile and curse her too.
The other day at my aunt's house warming , my little one was on my back playing uppu mootai(it's a silly game where the baby pretends to be a sack of rock salt and the adult trying to sell), as I was asking my aunt if she wants to buy and she was eagerly grabbing the pretend sack , another stupid female comments , who would want to buy a female baby ? Who would want to pay the dowry and marry her off? Sorry, I cursed her nice and hard.
Every time I curse , I smile . All I wish for , is my daughters to grow up healthy and lead a comfortable life and be my little babies and be in love with me as now as ever.
