Daughter, Pride Not Duty

In India when a girl is born, we say Goddess Laxmi has taken birth in the house. Yes, to some extent I agree.. After all laxmi doesn't stay at one place for long. One day the girl has to grow up and get married and lighten up someone else's house like she had lighten her parents house. That is a dream of every parents to see her daughter get married. And even girls see the same dream. But that world is no more when girl were not educated and were thought to be a burden and to be married soon.

In 21st century, every girl who takes birth in this world, comes with dreams and ambitions. She wants to make her own place in this huge world. But in this modern era, even now the girls are treated like burden on parents. They get her married at the age when she is showcasing all her hard work and talent in the world. Crushing every dream of her life, wasting all the efforts she made to go beyond the stars. She had just started to live her life on her self built path and then a turn comes in her life and she is asked to abandon her path, go along in another. 

I really think this is wrong and should be stopped. Every living being who exists has a right to live its own life on its own conditions. Every parent should broaden their minds, should treat their sons and daughter equally. Because one day when you walk down the lane, people will say you are that successful girl's father. And then you will be a proud father. You know when a girl goes to her husband's house, she has got a whole new set of responsibilities and expectations on her. 

It is so funny that in the past unmarried daughter were considered to be shame for the family. I mean they were luckiest of all daughters because they got to be with their parents for a very long time. I just want those narrow minded parents to let their daughter live their life and fly high, to give them a chance to make their own name in this world because its their life too.just give them a chance and believe me that's all that they need . 

Today, in 21st century woman have spread wings almost everywhere from being a doctor or CA to the president of a country.From being a house-wife to a working women . It isn't old times when women were meant to be ill-literate and do house hold. They have proved their worth in this country. So I request people to grow up and they deserve to be considered as equal as men, they deserve our respect. And above all please stop killing girl child. They are innocent and its not their fault that they didn't fulfill your expectations. 

DON'T CONSIDER YOUR DAUGHTER AS YOUR DUTY; LET HER BE YOUR PRIDE......
