BOY BABY

Hi guys
This is about the general propensity of most Indians families towards male child.I don't know about the other countries but most middle class, married ,Indian couples want atleast one male child.And the irony is that they don't just belong to the illiterate category,but are well educated families .

Though the situation is not that dismal but still we have a notion of Ek Ladka Tau Hona He Caaheeia.One might think that why is this happy,unmarried boy talking of a child.Yesterday one of my maternal relative conceived a male child.Everybody was so happy when the NEWS spread out.She already had two sweet girls,but the entry of new male member brought ecstasy to the old family members.Though i am questioning this, but at one point I was also happy for the entry of a new male child.

And,the other irony is that, females in the family are all the more inclined to the notion of male child.The situation becomes all the more alarming if we spread the ideas like "ONE IS FUN".
Effects of male child philosophy were not that visible in old days because at that time we did not had the problem of population explosion,but in today's scenario it can have some really bad effects.

Finally,being positive,as i am always,hopefully we will over come this problem.

Waiting to see some good comments from my friends and sharing any information they have about other cultures in world.And, do people in other part of the world also have reservation for a specific sex.Bye...
