Girl Child..

Why in India Girl child is treated so bad? Here are few of my thoughts.

Some of us who are selfish to core think of our children and a investment for future.

Children are security for future and if you had to secure your future what would you choose? A money back policy or a policy with investment and less or no chance of return??

A male child is a Money Back policy, hence pampered, showered with all love and freedom.

A female child a dead and risky investment hence has no right to live, or be happy.

Sad but true that's what our society has become now.

Corruption

When it comes to morals we have come down really LOW.

Most of us have done something or other that has increased corruption and to add to it just because others do it people feel its perfectly ok for them to do.

Lets take an example:

When it comes to paying taxes most people will not pay it correctly and say "dene ka kya fayda anyways sarkar chor hai". I agree we have corrupt government and system but does this make it ok for me not to pay tax? If others are wrong that does not mean that we also do wrong.

I am not being judgmental here of people who do this to be correct or wrong its just that Anna Hazare's mission made me think and realize what kind of society we are making.If everybody is thief that does not justify me becoming a thief.

We also say "yaha jeene ke liye ye sab karna padta hai", does this justify me being corrupt??Ask yourself if someone else steals your money to survive will that be ok??

 I would just wish, the way we take our religion seriously, we take our Morals too.It might be matter of 50/- that you gave to a police man when you ended up parking wrong because there was no board indicating where to park.From big to small corruption needs to end at all levels and at least we can start small and keep our conscious clean from now on.

The same emphasis that we give to religion give to our morals and try to be corruption free.

Socially Correct and Judgemental

Does a Middle class Indian have freedom of choice?

In a society where I come from a person should be "Socially Correct". What do our parents want from us? They do want our happiness but then we should always be socially correct.Parents do give their children choices but if they choose a path which is not as per the approval of society they can never stand for you or give you freedom to choose what you want.

What Socially Correct actually means is your choices in life should be approved by people, most of whom never made their choices by themselves, are not very happy in what they do.These people are constantly thinking of what people will think for most of things they do.

And then to add to things people are really judgmental of choices made.Say if somebody decides to be an entrepreneur , people will be judgmental of why? Does is have any problems in finding a job.... and God forbid if it fails another set of never ending ....Its could be an endless list of examples.

We say that we are really close knit society, really?? Its a society where people close to you always are judgmental and if your choices are not something they approve of,they will declare you a
"stupid person" and you would become the talk to town.People would call up your parents and constantly ask about you showing they are a well wisher and then your parents again pressurizing you, something we call "Social Pressure".

Who gave right to people to judge? Why cant i make choices by myself ?

At 18 we have right to vote, but no right to choose things like do i want to marry or not, what career path i should take.....what clothes i should wear..... The list never ends and every stage, from the time you go to school to day you are alive .. it is a never ending trap where people just keep judging you.

I just hope when we grow up we give our children all the freedom to do things they want, and be really happy with that, be never judgmental of them and let them be happy for what they are, doing what they want.
