Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little.
~Samuel Johnson

I just read a sad and shocking news.

Lucknow, Aug 12 (IANS) A 25-year-old Muslim woman was allegedly burnt to death by her husband and in-laws for giving birth to a baby girl for the second time in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh, police said Wednesday.

Yes, it still happens. Discrimination and violence to women in the ever expanding modern world today. For her to give birth to a baby girl is such a crime that death is the punishment. There’s no specific detail but for all that we know she may not have even recovered from the pain of giving birth yet. For enduring nine months of pregnancy and hours of birth labor, this is the thanks she gets. Sadly, it happens in a Muslim family. Shame on the husband and the in-laws.

These people will never learn that there’s no way the woman can decide the sex of her baby. There’s no way the woman have the power to alter the sex of her baby. It’s the chromosome from the male sperm which determines the sex of the baby. There’s no way it’s the woman’s fault!

I wonder how some people can be so ignorant. How culture belief surpass humanity and religion. Say that they don’t know the actual science fact. But it’s not even logic to happily burn a living human. How could they? How could they feel they have the right to do so? How could they even have it in their heart to do so? I pity the baby. What will the future be for her?

There’s a comment section for readers. One of the comments is damn shocking too! The fellow commenter agrees that baby girls have no value any more. That baby boys are the only worthwhile investment/product. He even said ‘who the hell does she think she is anyway’ (referring to the poor dead woman). What?! Again, an example of stupidity of the ignorant people.

Boys and girls have the same value. Both have their own place in this world. If you like boys so much, go and marry one. See if you can even get an heir out of it, let alone a baby boy.

~ anew vision and anew look

My father just had his cataract operation done last Monday. Look at how cheerful he is barely 4 hours after the surgery. Hehe. He even polished off his lunch at the ward saying it was very yummy. I'll remember to pass the compliment to Jun the dietitian after this=p

Time flew so fast this week. We got new cabinets for the optometrist's room (one for each of us!=p) so we've been busy arranging stuffs giving a total revamp to the room. We're even considering to repaint the older cabinets. Now it look so spacious and so tidy that I'm excited to go to work everyday. Erk, that doesn't sound right. Hehe.

It's Nisfu Syaaban today. Happy breakfasting to those who are fasting and let us pray for forgiveness and a blissful life ahead. Till then=)

~At the Beginning~

Been flipping through my dear old notebook again and I found the lyric of this song. One of my favourite from the movie Anastasia. Have you seen the movie? A great loss if you haven't. Hehe. I am so a fan of this fantasy romantic comedy. It was an animation but it was fabulous, the whole movie with absolutely excellent music score. Enjoy the music, folks! (please turn off another music player at the bottom of this page first though..heh=p)

We were strangers..starting out on a journey
Never dreaming..what we have to go through
Now here we are..and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you..

No one told me..I was going to find you
Unexpected..what you did to my heart
When I lost hope..you were there to remind me
This is the start..

c/o And life is the road that I want to keep going
Love is the river I want to keep flowing
Life is the road now and forever
Wonderful journey..
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers..on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming..how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand..unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you..

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dreams will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

(sung by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis)
