Male child....

Today had been to a lunch to a frnds place… his wife is pregnant n is following up for antenatal care with swapna… in between talks my frnds mom asked swapna indirectly wether she knew about the sex of the child…. She was ‘u must have seen in the sonography report..’ the girl was pregnant for the first time n her mom-in-law wanted to know the sex of the child…indirectly she wanted to know wether it was a male child…!!! Even in the so-called modern society the ‘male child’ wish still prevails… even my nani once said ‘aata next mulga pahije’… no it wasn’t for a boy n a girl family but it was the ‘male child’ factor into play here… our neighbor had a girl after 14 yrs of marriage n then she became pregnant again n in third mth the father wanted to know the sex of the child… we asked him wether he would terminate the pregnancy if it was a girl child??? He was ‘no no…aise hi puch raha hun’… he got a nice lecture frm us… looking at children around me I have come to the conclusion that boys are never that attached to their parents… the love and emotions that a girl has for her parents cannot be matched for by a boy… girls always remain attached to their parents… especially they are always daddy’s girl… maybe am biased here because of that…J… but in this age… I personally feel forget about carrying forward your generation but rather enjoy the oldage with ur children n I believe that a daughter would be there for you more than your son….
