Waiting for her - - - -

Women's day, it is
and some  friends are gloating,
they have , Daughters, you see,
Now what is it about the daughter's that turns the fathers 'moist eyed'
I don't have one but,
I can identify with the emotion,
My wife having given birth to our only happy, handsome and smiling son,
actually held my hand and wept with guilt,
She was semiconscious after her 'Cesarean' and when told about the son,
complained,
You are not happy, -----   I didn't give you a daughter,
She had her reasons,
all through her pregnancy we had
spoken about a daughter only,
we had hundreds of names of daughters , ---   not one for a son,
'Toolika'  she were to be,  'HAMARI NANHI PARI'
and then 'HE'  arrived,
happy, smiling , eyes wide open , more than ten pounds and
that priceless, toothless smile,

one look at him and  I forgot the momentary disappointment,
actually ,  not before my brother in law , my friend    ---   almost kicked me,
how dare you associate 'sex' to that beautiful innocent face, he said,
amused with the emotional drama unfolding in front of him,
how  dare we, yes how dare we,
we haven't,  --    we have never,  ---    since than,

Frankly I wonder how any one can think about them as 'Son or 'Daughter'
our flesh and blood ,
our children,

and what about  'Toolika', did we forget her,
no way,
she is there some where, and some time in future,
she will make a grand entry in to our lives, and that of our 'son' 
'HAMARI NANHI PARI' 
 Hamari 'TOOLIKA'
ab  bari ho gayi hogi

in the mean time you gloating fathers of daughters,
prepare to give them away , the daughters,
(and my hats off to you for having the heart to be able to do so,)

while we wait to welcome her, our  Nanhi Pari,

you see , friends, you  bloating fathers of daughters,
 
you got to have them than
We will have them now,
and Yes, ( to rub it in ), we will not have to give them away,

kaha hai na,
