But just remember those times...
When you wished for something and when you found no one to stand by you...
When you compromised on your ambitions for the sake of others...
When you could not understand why your biggest of achievements were belittled...
When you were told having a career is not a dignified option...
When your independent thinking was frowned upon and squeezed out of you...
Isn't it a chance for you to revive those dreams... re-live them... cherish them once again and resolve to give her all that you did not...
But of course, you are wise and un-emotional would take a rational, fact based decision...
So, Pay 5000 now and get a hassle free life...!!!

NOTE: The United Nations says an estimated 2,000 unborn girls are illegally aborted every day in India.
In a patriarchal society where we do not appreciate individuality, appreciating it in girls is probably too much to ask for...
But, appreciating life is the minimum a civilized society needs to do... Probably we have decided to prove to our erstwhile colonizers that they were right when they talked about the white-man's burden... that we are hell bent to prove that we are naturally uncivilized and barbaric... that we derive pleasure in killing unborn and newly born girl child...
Yet, we shall continue to think we are a manifestation of traditional mindset... the mindset in which in the oldest of the scriptures we have hymns composed by likes of Vagambhrini... and the importance of knowledge for women, equality for women, grace of being a woman are emphasised (http://agniveer.com/1291/women-in-vedas/)...
Or maybe we are just fallible demons who have decided to grab very opportune moment and fall a notch lower time and again.
