“3months old girl child died, father assaulted her as he did not want girl child”, me and kids are following the news.
I am angry – not with the father, but with this whole DESIRE of mine which I fulfil thru my kids and others.
You and me, literate people can talk about this incident as “social issue” and ………………But before you raise finger on this father, can you raise finger on yourself?
One father told me “I put my both the kids thru personality development vigour, out of my two kids, with one my experiment failed, she is below……”. This is not only one father; this is the story of many of us.
You and me celebrate the birth of girl child – we no more distinguish between girl and boy child – does this makes us above that father who did not accept the girl child?
We are as horrible and hateable as that father who killed the girl child of 3months. He did not accept the girl child, you and me do not accept the child who is below average and the definition of below average changes as per my desires.
You may not be burning them with cigarette, but you may be burning them with your expectations?
You may not be smashing them as young as 3 months old, but you are smashing them now with your worry of future ………………….long list of desires?
In the name of love and better future you are kidnapping their childhood now. Do you call this a social issue?
In a society where girl child means – dowry, problems.
In a society where boy child means – more comfort,
Who wants a girl child?
In a society where smart child means my pride
In a society where performing child means fulfilling my desire
Who wants a child who is not bloomed as per my definition?
If we do the search INSIDE us you will find this father in each of us.
make your child smarter
make your child achiever
make your child taller
make your child beautiful
we guarantee……………..

yes....we always like to think of ourselves as better than others. " Atleast I don't do that "..types. What we always forget is to check our own behaviour.
Sorry Aditi, can't grill you on this one...agree with you completely!!
I just loved reading it
Aditi when you say 'people who don't do anything about it' then i am one of them who wants to be safe in the house,have fear of the society or just read it and time pass
