Daughter as a First Baby and People in My Village

When I became father of a baby-Girl, people in our village commiserated with my wife and nobody congratulated me. Aiza arrived at dawn as the last star blinked out. We Pashtuns see this as an auspicious sign. Aiza was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children. For most Pashtuns it's a gloomy day when a daughter is born. However’ I didn't care. There are some social myths that the first baby as a Girl is sign of bad-luck. They could have followed-up the Old Arab Tradition, where the Girl used to be buried alive, right after her birth, but the Constitution Push and some educational dozes. However; we still find some norms and values in the rural part of Pakistan. They should not be any way.  

One Yellow Afternoon, I was accompanied by few of my friends and they threw this topic, that being the father of first baby-Girl is sign of bad-Luck. I did not believe in it, but still I have started judging my luck after I become father of Aiza khan. It’s been 8 Months now; I have not found anything bad-comings on my way. What I believe in, that sometime things are just stories, they don’t have any attachments with reality. If someone asked me, that how many boys will I have to take to give Aiza to them, I will say, She is a Priceless Doll of my life.
