Life of a Girl - Fantasy Meets Reality

Girls are always associated with beautiful baby dolls that are outstandingly created by artists. Since childhood they learn to live in the world of fantasy where dolls like Barbie, Hannah Montana, and Dora become their role model. They follow their fairy tales and stories through which they bind themselves along the way to life. Cuddly appeal, touch of beauty, and softness of the world is all girls look around.

Life like a baby doll is what girls aspire. But do they really get through these fantasies? Should they truly be given the freedom to live into the world of fantasy?

No, my friend!

Peep into the old Indian tradition and you'll realize that nothing has changed despite of so much advancements and improvements in technology. Years ago girls were ill-treated, considered inferior to boys, and were also tagged to be a 'burden on the family'. Over a period of time, everything started changing but its distressing to state that the fate of girls still remains the same.

Today gladly globalization and liberalization have opened a huge gateway for girls to explore the world with lucrative opportunities but even then they are not given the freedom to live their life as what they aspire and expect. However, Government rules and actions against injustice to girls have become very supportive but my friends, how many of us really follow those?

When a girl child is born in the family, the first question that storms in every mind is 'ladka kyun nahi hua'. Tell me my friend how does it actually makes a difference. Whether a girl or a boy, both are God's blessings. Infact blessing a family with a girl child is God's own way of gifting the world's biggest pleasure to your family. Trust me having a girl child cuddled tight in your arms creates a strong emotional repsonse, it creates magic..it does!

Girls in the world of fantasy love and nurture their dolls with warmth and care. As they grow up they embrace the same motherly feeling for their younger siblings. Further on the journey of life they bid adieu to their parents and happily embrace the new world of people, new responsibilities, and the new change of life.

In the entire journey from childhood to womanhood she goes up and down on every sea saw of life. As a daughter, as a sister, a mother, a wife, and further more, all she is doing is sacrificing her own desires, expectations, and life to fulfill the needs of her own people, people who make her world. Though today there are many families who have granted the freedom of life to girls but even then there are certain situations where the old beliefs and customs still revolves around a girl's life. At every stage her world of fantasy shatters down and every time one hard blow hits her, one piece of her fascinating world flows away with the stormy waves of life. Every time her hopes shatters her dreams break but her life still flows.....

Look around you and you'll find many live examples of such false fairy tales where fantasies never turn out to be real. How long will girls live in the nutshell of aspiring a life like a baby doll? How long they'll continue to live a life of fascination? It's time my friends, come out of the fairy tales and live the real life...a life that is harder than we can think of and tougher than we can fight.

But one thing is for sure...at a crossroad where fantasy will meet reality; endurance, tolerance, patience, and the determination to win over life's challenges will shake hands with you. You don't have to invite them, they come without a call or an invitation...Its the truth of life.

Just move on and live your life your way!
