Well said I will give u a personsal eg.
We both hus+wife are well educated graduate n post graduate. Well settled job house love respect.
We were intro.to each other by a childless couple who have helped sev.couples get know each other. They acted as my parents during my wedding every1 said it is ashubh coz they r childless guess what we are 2day married hapily for 14 yrs n have 3 girls. Well now people say we dont have a boy...so I am not allowed to touch a mehndi rasam first (in short now I am asubh) coz I might put bad shadow on the groom or bride n they will also have girls only !!!
People talk both ways get it we've learnt 1 thing either way the tongues wag u cannot stop people from saying hurtful things. I do feel bad when they look down upon me that way but I never show myself as a bechari. On the contrary I smile back and say God gave me 3 flowers from paradise and I am doing the best I can to take care of them and guide them to become a good human being that is more imp.for me than anything else. Every1 wants both genders but we always dont get what we want. I am satisfied with what I have and thank God everyday for the 3 precious gifts He has given me. Think about those people who dont have children how much they suffer or those who had but lost them due to some reason.
You should have a good look at their faces even though they try to justify themselves but they know deep down I am right. Either way people have to say something so what. Women 2day should learn to stand up for their rights I am against slapping or using voilence of any kind but a woman should learn how to deal with such people using brains and good strategy. Give such people exactly what they deserve but smartly and this comes with age and experience in life.
One more imp.thing u need strong support from yr husband if u have that half the battle is won.
