Dear Gaganasakhi,

This time I read about ur Dr friends problem. Till the society accepts girl child with same happiness as boy child. I guess every women should have the right to get the abortion done.There is no meaning bringing one more girl to this world where she is ill-treated, neglected.I was reading Govt add which was painted on BMTC bus,moggu araLuva munna keelabeDi.

what is the message they r giving? so once its flower all the men have right to do what they want?I still remeber , one guy had poured acid on a girl just becoz she rejected his propsal, and she was in hospital fighting her life.Did govt come to her help? did they gave a smallest amount for the treatment no?but when and rich person is in hospital govt lends a helping hand for the treatment.If no one is there to help when a girl needs then why do they want them?BTW I am girl my parents always gave me the independence to chooses what I want and were the behind me to support when I needed them. But all are not lucky as me.

How to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies and STDs.I admire your courage of addressing a very important issue.

Please continue your writing in these controversial subjects. Best wishes.

Hello,

Good topic, but being a mother of two girls, I would appreciate if the article would have explained the moms repsonse to her son. Also, I am not sure it is a new concept for moms to be the ones to talk about sex with kids. Havent moms been doing this since ages?

Hi,

Please try to avoid using English words as much as possible. I am sure Kannada doesnt lack sufficient vocabulary to be substituted with English words specially the words the author uses in the current article. the author might defend it by saying that he/she is just trying to maintain the originality of eveyday conversations where we simply mix english words mindless of its consenquences. Its very disturbing to see that the author has used English words to replace very simple and common kannada words. please do not repeat this in your forthcoming articles. thank you.

Hi,

Gagana seems to be happy and content being servant to the husband! And above all she takes pride in it! All this can happen in the early days of marriage for some. But in this era where most women are working only 50:50 sharing can keep the house in order. Smartness lies in making the husband shoulder some burden in the household chores than finding content in his being lazy!. And being a housewife is not an excuse to take all the burden. You need your space beyond cleaning the house and serving the husband!

Dear Gaganasakhi,

Thank you for introducing yourself to your readers in a very honest and mature way. You have certainly grown up over the last few months. I had felt an air of confusion in your earlier articles, which I thought was your struggle to place yourself - to identify yourself as a female writing for other females, a female who sees all men as vice or as a human for whom it would see individuals as humans irrespective of their gender. You have, for me at least, have come out of that confusion with your previous article on being female and a feminist. Your current article where you have expressed yourself in a very beautiful and simple way will surely touch many hearts.

I wish there were more people like you around me and especially around my friend who is on the brink of depression and at risk of ruining his entire future due to two women- his estranged wife and her mother. Both these women unfortunately believe that, it is the duty of a man to listen and obey women. If he has a different opinion that is either because he is harassing them for dowry or he is a male chauvinist.

Their deluded super equal status and his unwillingness to be submissive and follow his father-in-laws footsteps has left him not only disillusioned in life, but terribly depressed and nihilistic. I am not able to answer his question on how could one generate so many lies? what is their motive? Is it an identity crisis? Is it a personality disorder? or Is it all about money? Dear friend, have you any answers?

Look forward to hearing from you

Dear Gagana,

sarala, mana muttuva lekhana. "Gandu prati dinavannu Naale embude illa ennuvante baduka bayasuttene. Hennu prati dinavannu Ide Arambha ennuvante badukuttaale" E vichaara satya. Tumbaa sundaravaagi gandu haagu hennina vibhinna jIvanashailiyannu vishlEshisiddIri. I visheshatheyindaagiye hennu halavu solugala madhyeyu kanasu kaanaballalu.

I dont believe this 100%. Not all of them are like that. There are many exceptions If you recall the the earlier custom "Sahagamana Paddathi", you will believe it. Womans used to die along with their husband thinking that there is no life without husbands!

Dear Gagana

looks like you have totally ignored the roll of men in your article. how about thousands of men who are good husbands,fathers, who work hard to take care of their families, put their kids through college, etc etc.

why is that men bashing seems to be order of the day in news media and TV. lastly I like the song from the movie "sirivnatha" KOOSUMARI KOOSUMARI.letmeknowyourthoughts.thanks.
