Women's days: The true spirit

Happy Women's day!! Even today, even the well educated lot think having a girl child is a sin. Why I am stressing on the educated lot is because it is expected of them to talk sensible. I heard one of the recorded messages of Chaganti, one of the greatest speakers, where he said that you will be blessed with a baby boy only when u look at your partner in the eye at that auspicious time during marriage instead of the videographer and you hold the jaggery jeera mixture in one particular way on each others heads. What does that mean? Having a baby girl is a sin according to him?? There is another saying in telugu, "abadhhalaadithe aada pillalu pudatharu" which means if you tell lies, you will be cursed with a baby girl. How the hell can people demean women like that? Every single day people keep forwarding all sorts of jokes on women in general and wives in particular. And today every single person is going on picking some quotes from the internet on how great women are and just forwarding across bombarding the inboxes and social media with messages. Not sure how many really believe in it. What i am trying to say is, if you believe in something, do it. Don't do it just as a custom or just because others are watching. First respect the women around you and realise the value of their presence, then go on wishing the rest of the world.
