“Oh again a girl. Boy should have been born. ” These were the words my parents listened after the entry of my younger sister. However they gave a strong reply to all those sympathisers:
” We are lucky to have our third princess”. They wholeheartedly welcomed their little princess .Not just they said these words they are living upto this words.Till now never they felt us a burden. We three sisters are very fortunate to have such an awesome parents. In this meta son preference society which sees daughters entry as
a liability, we are lucky to have parents
who treat their daughters as their princesses and their assets.
How lucky we are for escaping female foeticide, female infanticide and gender discrimination .
How fortunate we are for not being among those missing women ( Amartya sen missing women theory says in India around 63mn missing women in India)
How blessed we are for not being in the category of unwanted child.
I wholeheartedly thank god for blessing us such an awesome parents. My parents are our role models. Despite many struggles financially , emotionally and otherwise they never let down their princesses.They gifted us with good education. They gave wings to our dreams. They allowed us to choose our careers of our choice . They valued our choice of partners too.
My mother often says with heavy heart: “We are unable to purchase more gold and other things for you?…
My innocent mom didn’t know that they gifted us more valuable things ( Education and good manners) than gold which no one can steal from us.
Having seen our parents struggles since our childhood,we are also working hard to grow high in our careers. I always wanted my parents to feel happy and proud of us. Feeling forever grateful to my parents for whom we are the wanted girls.殺殺
