The girl child.............

We in India have many a times debated on this. The numerous cases of of children being murdered in the wombs have become a common story.

I am a father of two daughters ........... and I really love them. The other day I was telling my wife that a person should never have daughters .......... not for any other reason but because they would marry and go away to their inlaws place.

Looking at my daughters playing and running about I already started to miss them. My eyes grew misty. I rued the day that I would loose them ............. a day when some other man would become more important in their lives.

I am quite sure many a father would share my thoughts ....... the pain that i feel.
