A vague x-ray image,
could have been her strength;
but -
it was a girl.

Fifteen words or less.
Despite of all governmental promises, pre-natal sex determination and female foeticides are still common in rural as well as urban India. Sons are still believed to carry forward the families and daughters are still considered as a burden on the family. Thank God my sis and I are born to a family who's far away from such discriminations. I hate such killers and I hope things will get better some day.
