The Gift of Choice – Secret Daughter

Posted by: Adhika | Posted on: April 3rd, 2012 | No Comments

The purest gift of life is our innate ability to Choose – to choose any choice we deem fit in our western upbringing of being free and thereby having the liberty to choice our highest good in every circumstance.

Many of us do, celebrate this freedom by choosing our mates, our careers, our lifestyles and so much more….

This explains why I haven’t been able to relate to the epidemic states of alarm relating to female infanticide occurring in many Asian countries, namely in India.

I thought that these types of decisions, were also based on the freedom to make choices, and I just couldn’t connect with the reality of making such a choice!!!

Well I had this disconnect until I found Shilpi Somya Gowda’s book ‘SECRET DAUGHTER.’  The intertwining themes of motherhood, fertility, conception, parenting, marriage were so perfectly blended that it truly gave me a humane experience on the circumstances that perpetuate parents to infanticide and the social ramifications that arise from it.

For those of you looking to have a realistic view of this subject, and an all great read don’t hesitate to get your hands on this inspiring read.  Also if you have read this book, please do feel free to post any comments about your experience a with us!!
