Celebrating fewer women

It is understandable to get enraged and saddened by the choices people make. It is easy to point fingers at them, like their choices were intended to be cruel. But there is a silver lining to the choice and I have listed them below. And more good is happening in future thanks to the choice.


To all the fathers and mothers, grandparents, who made the choice or forced the decision to abort the female child - "Thank you"

1. Thank you for saving them from being born into homes that could not love them.

2. Thank you for saving them from sudden abandonment.

3. Thank you for saving them from a world that is so unkind.

4. Thank you for saving them from all the humiliation and insults because of their genitalia.

5. Thank you for saving them from a second citizen servant life.

6. Thank you for saving them from being born into homes that could have ended up selling them for sex in return for money.

7. Thank you for saving them from being married to older men just because it is necessary to get rid of them from the house.

8. Thank you for saving them from being married into something they did not understand.

9. Thank you for saving them from having utterly terrible lives if they had lost their husbands.

10. Thank you for saving them from making the decision to abort another female life.

BTW – I am pro-choice, I do not see anything wrong with making a decision based on the conception process, mothers health, fetus’ health, financial readiness, social readiness, etc. But, I am biased on pro-choice based on the gender. Then again, it is better to choose the lesser of two evils. A life time of pain versus no birth seems merciful. 

1. Since we have fewer girls, they might be loved and wanted by the parents.

2. Since we have fewer girls, they might be respected and treated well by the husbands.

3. Now, we have less girls for the boys to marry and hopefully only the best men will get to procreate and the weaklings could cease to exist.

4. Now, we have a way to control the world population which is also a big concern.

5. The fewer girls born may be able to make better decisions for the future.

P.s: I am being sarcastic. I am deeply disturbed by all the images of the infanticide. 

Over Privillaged and Under Estimated

A few months ago I saw on the news where a ten year old boy in Africa who was working manual labor jobs to raise his five year old sister and three year old brother. He sacrificed his daily meals to feed them some days. Their parent both were dead and so the responsibility to take care of the family fell on the eldest person who survived in the family.

My kid showed interest in putting away the laundry when he was fourteen month old. He showed interest in cooking when he was eighteen months old. He learnt to read all by watching PBSKids.com – Word World. I felt he was way mature than I give him credit. I talked to my kid about sex, same sex and death when he was hardly five years old. 

As far as my memories go as a child I was curious about sexes, marriages and babies, God, life, etc. I did not have anybody explain to me about anything. So, I wanted to be the one to explain things about the human life instead of a creepy neighbor.

Most parents who I think are pragmatic don’t see anything wrong in what I did to him at a young age. But seldom, I come across parents who believe that my son’s innocence is gone and I am a terrible mother for explaining so much to a child.

An under privileged kid can be so responsible for his siblings. Why should our over privileged kids supposed to be sealed from not just responsibility and reality but also from the normal things of the world in the name of childhood? What are we really protecting them from? Why are we boring them with activities and not talking about life? Why are we shielding them from a danger that does not really exist?

Doing chores is good, and all, but common they are boring to us and to the kids too. 

Earning trophies for showing up feels awesome to the kids self esteem, but it really is not. 

Home work and tuition and extra math are very educational, but they are not really teaching the kids to learn.

Talking to them instead of brain washing them is an awesome way to learn about them.

Talking about any taboo subject to the kids will open up our minds. 

Kids React to Gay Marriage

The thing is kids are pretty amazing. They have a sense of morality even before they are exposed to any religion or moral code they are supposed to, especially when they are asked to think and decide for themselves. They are very forgiving. They are very caring. They want to be forgiving and caring and responsible. But they seldom get the chance to show greatness that is not staged.
