The Luckiest Me....

What does a girl want in her life? A prince charming, a fairy tale wedding, a loving family, a caring husband. What else can a girl dream of? Luckily the thought processes of people have undergone a change and these days girls want more.

With the rubbish example of Delhi gang rape case at least girls have come out of their shells asking for more, more than just a sham of a marriage. Marriage can never promise security for a woman. Can you vouch for the person whom you are getting married to. Anyways the point I want to make is not about the social sham of marriage but the stupid notion of girls being the weaker section of the society.

Why do we look down on girls who wear hot pants and short tops? Why do we tend to stare at a girl if she wears swimming costume in a beach? Have we even dared to raise a question when guys come out of their houses in short pants and at times even in their boxer shorts? Have we looked down upon guys who walk bare body around beaches for that matter? Frankly wherever I look all I see is discrimination, all I see are girls being looked down upon. It is beyond my comprehension as to how to deal with this in a country like India, where people still pretend to moral values and virtues.

At best what I can think of is one should not have the bad luck in being born in a society like India. I have had the misfortune of being here but frankly I wish I was not a part of such a hollow society. I too want to live my life, enjoy my freedom without being pressurized with the stupid unwritten rules of the society. Anyways all we girls can do these days is protest and being looked down upon. But recently something happened in my life and I realized no matter how men wish to stamp and walk over girls, there will always be a man in my life who will never ever do that. And that man is my Father. I see him running like crazy making my dreams of the romantic notion coming true. He has time and again proved to me that no matter what he will always be by my side, like a true Father protecting his daughter and being there with her when she needs him the most. I don’t know about India or our society, but I know this much as long as I have my Father I need not need anyone else ever in my life. He is a strong pillar of support for me, making me feel special each time I have been disregarded by humans, and for that matter even my own family. I cannot thank my stars enough to bless me with such a father. People want fairy tale ending and a happily ever after life. But for me, having such a dear father fulfills all my dreams. That is all I need from him. His smile, his hug, his hand on my shoulders to let me know that I am not alone. Love you Dad, love you now and always. You are the best Man any woman would want to have in her life. And not to forget my dear Mom. No matter how many times you hug me tightly to irritate me, you and Dad make the perfect couple. You inspire and instill love around us. It is because of you two that I believe so much in love. Mom thank you for being there every time I wanted to walk away. Thank you for making me the way I am. Love you guys. And I am grateful to both of you for accepting me at my worst, for bearing my unnecessary screams and shouts. For being there for me no matter what.

Girls, more than the society cherish your family. And I am sure if families start accepting girls the way my parents have we will not need to change the society at large. It will automatically understand the importance of a girl.

Here’s the luckiest me signing off, hoping for a better tomorrow, a brighter sun to touch our lives. But lastly would love to mention again, thanks Mom and Dad, love you now and forever…!!!!
