Change your mind not the society

This title is just not based on one single topic of life but there enormous topic that these society make us think about. But is this society always correct at the norms that they are claiming from centuries?

“Boisterous As Wind, Playful As Balloon , Please Don’t Kill The Little Butterfly In Her Cocoon.” May be, now the topic is more clear and understandable. I am not being a feminist but really the topic I am here to discuss is "Girl Child".

I live in a society where I had seen the importance of a girl in her family. But here importance is merely in words not in actions. India is known for female foeticide from past decades but in last few years it has gradually decreased but, yet not ended. It still prevails in society and from society into the minds of humans.

I find myself privileged as my family considers me as the son of their family. They never compared me with my brother's, my grandpa once said, " daughters are just different from sons in physical aspects but still daughters are heart beats to our heart". My grandpa always had given his priorities to the daughters and granddaughter of his family. His generous behaviour is also reflected in his children's. Thus I never felt what it means to be not loved as being born as a girl.

Until what I experienced in my neighborhood. One of my neighbors, who had a daughter at first was about to conceive their 2nd child. They were in full hope to get a boy this time, you might think how so sure because she consulted some Baba or the one who plays with mantras. But fate decided to give them a surprise and thus she had delivered a girl as her 2nd child. When I visited her at hospital, she seemed unhappy but they didn't reflected it. When I told the same thing to my mom, she thought I am just talking without thinking until she also came to know the truth. Within a year they gave us another shock that my neighbour got pregnant again and for that mantras might have came true she delivered a boy. I wasn't upset till his birth but what they did next was mad me build hatred towards them. They conducted parties and celebrations on his birth but these things were never ever happened for that 2nd child. They brought gold ornaments for the boy and pampered him more than the other two daughters.

The experience taught me one thing that minds can never change for some. You can reflect what you don't preach but your expressions never lie. For me a girl child is never a burden and neither I hate a boy child. I have equal perspectives for both.
The thing that annoys me is how still people see a birth of two girl child as a bad fate.

The main belief behind all these is that society believes " man can only take forward the heir of the family". According to me it takes two hands to clap same way both men and women are required to carry forward the heir of the family.
I am not trying to be a feminist. I feel both are important be it be a mam or a woman. These two genders are required in every aspects. Just what I need is give equal rights to both. Girls are not an ornament that once you wear it and then you get bored and try a new one. Please respect women. Just stand for what is right.
To all girls out there,
You have glitters in your veins,
You are the shining start in rains,
You are the angel from the sky,
For some  you may be a bad fate
But for some you are the heart of life.
You have the crown startling on your wavy hair, the pink glow has a million stories to say, the smile is the ornament you adore.
Just walk with lifting your white hats
Cause you are born to be a rebel.
