We often see people giving big fat lectures on girls,their new found freedom,their hardships and their success stories..
And in the same country we regularly get to see newspaper headlines of woman being assaulted or getting raped,being burnt down to death and of course the age old dahej issue.. and then we see a certain class of people saying "it's the girls fault.. she instigated the criminals" or even better we get to hear "ladkiya paedaish he bojh hai... ladkiyan honi hi nahi chahiye... ladkiya nahi hongi to problems bhi nai honge"( girls are a burden from birth...they should not take birth.... if there is no girl, there will be no problems....)
dude obviously there will be no issues at all cause you won't get another of those ******* ever again!
But amidst all talks about the crimes taking place at an increasing rate, we even find people wanting a girl child,making them as independent as a boy(maybe hoping that in future they could avoid such problem in their own lives),getting them highly educated,and then getting them married to someone who could support the girl for a lifetime...
I don't say marriage is always a loss of freedom though it might turn you from a bird to an ostrich...
you still know you are a bird ,a highly proud one at that but you cannot fly so easily always..
Just the other day while waiting for a doctor at the hospital I saw a man and his mother waiting for a doctor eagerly... she started a conversation with us..while I just listened to everything she said,
She was one of those types who think this generation is useless, they can't do a thing' can't respect and blah blah blah...
While she waited to discuss her daughter in laws case, who is pregnant and is admitted in the hospital , she made it very clear that all the pain of sitting there from the morning,taking care of her daughter in law all these months would be worth it only if she had a son...and the man who was going to be a father ,was so impatient that he said atleast 20 times that ,its good she is facing all the pain because they have to wait on her from the morning and yet nothing is happening... did he even understand the kind of pain she must be going through..!!!!!
I pitied him... he who was supposed to be the father in a few hours was just not worth the respect...
On the other hand a few days back when I was travelling by a flight I suddenly noticed the announcement by the pilot.... she was a girl.... the way she spoke, so smartly... and it suddenly made me and even my father so proud to know that a girl was actually in charge of so many lives and she was actually flying high!!!she did it so well....
This might be a common sight these days to see girl pilots..but at that moment there was a certain pride I felt ,of being a girl....
And just today while sitting at my verandah seeing people pass by the road in front of my house I saw a post (woman)
Yes we have always heard about postman but I saw a post woman for the first time... and I knew its not only the elite class that is advancing... but all sections of the society is moving ahead in a similar footing..!!!
There are only few words to explain my pride as well as my fear today...
Pride of being a woman and fear of seeing the society moving back in time,instead of moving forward,,, Cause of a few hooligans, who are respected as citizens (though they are not worth being called so), who are polluting the environment!!!
