Attention All Would be Mothers!!!









Pay 5000 now!!!

Pay 5000 now and ensure that the lineage would go on... Although no one might remember you 2 generations down but still... Maybe... Remotely... Theres always hope...

Pay 5000 now and ensure that you won't feel guilty when you give her share of food to someone else in the family... After she is the 'weaker-sex' and you need to feed so many men to their symbol of prosperity (the proverbial 'tond')...

Pay 5000 now and be sure that there would be no fear of the 'honor' of your family being at stake... It would only get augmented by the actions of your honahaar sapoots...

Pay 5000 now and be relieved that you would never have to make compromises with her studies... God forbid, if she is ambitious... Just imagine, how difficult and expensive would be a well educated groom...

Pay 5000 now and be sure you will be relieved of any after-marriage tensions a daughters family faces... You shall have the privilege of being a cause of tension for others...


Pay 5000 now and be sure that there is never even a rare possibility that despite an autocratic, obedience-driven upbringing... she might wish to make her own decisions...

Pay 5000 now and ensure that you never have to worry about the fact that you did so... never have the guilt of this day... because its what 'people' approve...


Pay 5000 now and ensure you don't have to commit a murder of her wishes everyday... just one small insignificant flush out of a few life cells...

Pay 5000 now and ensure she doesn't blame you all her life for not standing up for her... with her... be sure to scuttle that voice even before it rises...

Pay 5000 now...

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.
