Common Attitude in Indiad.

Rekha is mother of a chubby three-year-old girl.

Last September, when she became pregnant again, her mother-in-law forced her to undergo an abortion after an ultrasound showed that she was pregnant with twin girls.
"I said there's no difference between girls and boys. But here they think differently. There's no happiness when a girl is born. They say the son will carry forward our lineage, but the daughter will get married and go off to another family."
Kulwant and Rekha live in Sagarpur, a lower middle-class area in south-west Delhi.
Here, narrow minds live in homes separated by narrow lanes.
The women's story is common and repeated in millions of homes across India, and it has been getting worse.
In 1961, for every 1,000 boys under the age of seven, there were 976 girls. Today, the figure has dropped to a dismal 914 girls.
Although the number of women overall is improving (due to factors such as life expectancy), India's ratio of young girls to boys is one of the worst in the world after China.
Many factors come into play to explain this: infanticide, abuse and neglect of girl children.
But campaigners say the decline is largely due to the increased availability of antenatal sex screening, and they talk of a genocide.

Beauty Tips.

Are you conscious about your skin? Do you want to make it better? Yes? The following beauty tip is the best content written for you.

Owning a perfect skin with a glowing complexion is every girl’s biggest wish. For achieving this wish, many young girls go to any extend in order to make themselves look prettier all the time. There are millions of beauty products which are available in the markets today, accompanied by thousands of beauty tips. With the advancements in technology and more awareness amongst people; consultations with doctors, beauticians and dieticians are becoming very popular regarding the skin problems and treatments. But this best and the simplest beauty tip for getting everlasting glowing and smooth skin is to use and drink lots and lots of water.

Water is basically of two types; the hard water and the soft water. Hard water contains different harsh chemicals which can damage the skin and result too many different problems. But soft water is the best option for getting a softer and smoother skin. Therefore, it is very important to know that the skin must only be washed with good quality of water so that it does not get exposed to harsh chemicals in water that can affect the skin badly.

Another beauty tip regarding the use of water for skin is that never wash your face area with hot water. It results in opening of pores which leads to blackheads, wrinkles etc. Always avoid hot water for cleaning your face and use cold water instead. Even when taking a bath under a hot water shower, avoid exposing the facial area skin to hot water.

Drinking water frequently is an excellent and most inexpensive beauty tip. Those women who drink water at least 5-6 glasses a day; their skin is seen to be more glowing and smooth as compared to other women. Water is the most pure and effective cleanser and moisturizer for the skin. It hydrates the skin and keeps on flushing the toxins out of the body. A good amount of water intake helps in quick heeling of wounds, cleaning of the entire systems of the body and prevents the body from dehydration.

People who do not drink water frequently and rather prefer going to a beautician and doctor for getting a smooth and glowing skin are doing great harm to themselves. They are wasting their time and money on useless stuff when there is a free blessing available to them in the form of water.

The best and the safest beauty tip that you can rely on is to carry a bottle of water with yourself wherever you go and drink it sip by sip from time to time. Or if possible, drink a glass of water after every hour and you will feel the difference in your body and skin yourself.

Happy drinking Water!
