" I wish all of you a very Happy Lohri. May you all be the mother of 100 daughters. :-) Be blessed- " One of the messages I received today from my Facebook friend.. How interesting.. where I grew up in India, we didn't celebrate Lohri so not really aware of the customs and traditions about it but sure sounds intriguing...
Ironically though, few of my friends have casually teased me about having and raising a daughter...Very recently, when we were very casually chatting, boys preschool teacher complemented me that I would have been very good mother to a daughter... ! How flattering ....Having surrounded by wonderful girls from my side of the family, I am very compassionate, passionate but not drum beating feminist....... sure it would have been wonderful to be able to raise a daughter but on the parenting front, I have a big job cut out for me and there is no what if... a complete full stop to this tinkering thought for now and ever ;)
