Satyamev Jayate - Female Foeticide

Yeah, I am talking about the first episode of Satyamev Jayate, which I think have disturbed at-least 80% of girls, who watched it, at-least for a while. 

I was one of them. I watched it in the middle of night and got soo disturbed for being a part of such society, being a part of propagation of such evils, by silently ignoring it, by accepting people in our social circle, who desires a boy child for that stupid reasons. 

Most of us know at-least one person in our extended family & friends, who truly believes in superiority of boy child over girl and propagate such thinking.  And what we do about it, just ignore their opinion in such matter as being old fashioned. But, it won't let that person realize that they r doing a crime by having sch attitude. And accepting such people in our society, we are being part of propagating such evils. Why not boycott such people from our society, similar to boycotting a serial killer, who believes killing is good ? We don't do that, we all are equally guilty for making such evils acceptable in society by making such people acceptable in our social circle.

Every time, I think about it, it make me feel soo bad. But, for how long - a couple of hours,a day at-max. We get disturbed by such things, we talk about it, then we just ignore it, since we are fortunate enough not to be a victim of such things. Since, we are the fortunate ones, who got a family where such evils do not exist. 

But, do we deserve to be the fortunate ones ? As we are anyway wasting all the fortune by not doing and not trying to do anything significant. I know I am not good enough to make any significant contribution in eradicating such evils. But, I am not good enough for PhD either. I am doing Phd, just because I am enjoying it and I don't care about being good at it. 

So, why not try eradicating such evils ? Atleast, I will feel good for not being a part of it ..... [something to think about after PhD (don't wanna to leave things in between :()]

Appreciation or Embarrassment

Most of you would have watched the joke about arrange marriages in some television series. Guy's family come to the girl's house to see the girl. Girl's parents serve them lot of snacks and claims that everything is cooked by her. In-fact, all the paintings in the hall is her creations etc. etc.

Wait, I don't wanna discuss arrange marriages and their showing off girls part. What I am trying to  understand is the reasons of false credits. Are the parents proud of their girl or they are embarrassed of her not knowing cooking, painting etc. etc well enough.

I know, it is an extreme example, but people give false credits to their loved ones all the times. And I never understood it at all. Sorry, but my mom is a bit too honest, who won't try and brag about the first dish i cooked, since it was looking too bad :p. It made me feel, that all these things are not important. She loves me and proud of me for what I am. For me, false credits are result of embarrassment.

I am talking about the false credits given by the people who loves you, so sarcasm is completely out.

But, then what does it mean ? That you are not good enough without all those things (for which you have been awarded false credits) ? That you should have done that ? and they are embarrassed that you didn't do that (and / or cannot do that) ?

I know, I am becoming a bit too harsh. But, I can not find any other reason for false credits :(.
