A place where people only want a son or two may be. Because desires don't die. Because when the first one kicks them out, atleast their ll be an option.
Although, being a girl with no brother, never realized that reality is not what I see. When my sister was born, my family welcomed her with a party and people asked "again a girl" then why this celebration? And slowly the question was changed to "why don't you have a son?"
And there I realized, it was something great to be a boy.
I got to know that being a girl here means you are and always ll be someone's something. Your name is not your identity but, just a tag. At times, it becomes really difficult for me to understand that being a female, how a mother gets sad when she gives birth to a girl.
What actually prompted me to write this was yesterday's incident. I went for a marriage function, where there was a ritual that the newlywed bride ll hold a baby boy, so that she gives birth to a baby boy in coming future and what made me laugh was that her mother in law searched for a boy for around 20 minutes and in front of her was standing her own grand daughter.
Her innocent eyes met mine and my heart exclaimed, welcome to India, baby!

Second No More, a novel
I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.
