But Why????

Being away from blog post made me miss all of you! Yes, all of a sudden I refrained from so many things........The only question bothering like a bug me was 'WHY'??? Its Why, why and only Why???.   My father said-'It happens.....When one hit forty...' Ah!! In and out tapped with WHY and unable to untangle is my situation.. Again, why should I post a new post?? When I meet or speak to others over phone or so, I am able to read the unjust life one is leading.  But Why?? All of a sudden I find my friends greet with a plastic smile on their face…. But Why??? More and more advancement in electronic communication system and gadget—less and less is the personal contacts within the family members. We don’t even speak or greet… waning the bond of relationship….but Why??? Again family is the first place of acquaintance is seen as a place of threat or most unsafe place - ' FATHER, BROTHERS, GRANDFATHER, UNCLES'.....'   Yet a daughter, sister, wife, d...

Female Infanticide and Foeticide in India

Image
I wonder a land without girls-how would it be like? Every day, I come across one or the other news or video about girl child battling between life and death. Millions of Girls are killed before and after their birth before attaining one year in India. The main reason for the widespread female feticide and the continuing occurrence of female infanticide in different parts of India was the dowry system for payment of huge amount at the time of girls marriage to the groom and his family, which though prohibited through enactment of Dowry Prohibition Act 1961, continues to play a prominent role in Indian society. "Female infanticide is the intentional killing of baby girls due to the preference for male babies and from the low value associated with the birth of females." Will ever the problem of female infanticide be solved in our country? Is the question I ask and ask...

Oh God! Why did you create me as a ‘GIRL’?

Oh God! Why did you create me as a ‘GIRL’? With gold chained bounds and curls, My ‘Name’ spreads displeasure, And I am not a treasure, I spread sorrow all around, Like a bell sound. I am treated as a decorative piece, With brutal burns on self-increase, I am adored as a doll, With no feelings of self at all, That, I am made to stoop and fall, That, ‘I am a girl’ so all call. I am daughter, sister, wife and mother, I play meaningful roles that world does not bother, At festivals I am worshipped, Just to bear some more cane whips, Before, blossom into flower, I am married off with restrictive power. I am made to bear the fruit of love, If, it turns out to be a ‘GIRL’ ; It is crushed to death under the merciless ‘HAND GLOVES’ , This cycle of life going on and on, The story of pain is ever born, I am nowhere better than males, Because, I am born ‘Female’ . http:/www.poemhunter.com/sphoorthi theatre
