My mom was telling me about something that happened to the sweeper in her office. He and a couple of friends were lounging about near a shop at Gateway of India when he saw a lady approach. She was holding a tiny baby, barely a couple of days old. She walked up to the shop and asked the shopkeeper if he had a bag since the baby was being bothered by the harsh sunrays. The guy handed her a paper bag and she carefully covered the baby with it. Meanwhile, the sweeper was looking at her. She went to the wall that acts as a barrier between the road and the sea below. She looked around and when she was sure no one was watching, she dropped the baby into the freakin water! Seriously. One of the fishermen immediately jumped in after the child and saved him. The paper bag saved the baby's life and she was still breathing. The sweeper and other people rounded on the heartless lady angrily and demanded to know what the hell she thought she was doing. At first she defended herself by saying that the baby "slipped" from her hands. Then, on account of the indignant protests by the sweeper and the other people who saw her throw the poor baby into the sea, she broke down. Her defense was that she had to do it 'cause apparently her husband left her since she gave birth to a girl. This woman now held her baby responsible and believed that if she didn't exist, her marriage would be saved. Needless to say, she was handed over to the nearest police station. I am still in shock. I cannot believe what happened. How could the woman even think of doing something like that? And what was the baby's mistake? That she was born a girl? Here, mothers start crying if their children fall mildly ill, and there she was ready to kill her daughter? What kind of a person does that!? And the husband. No swear words are good enough. I feel so sorry for the little girl. What horrid barbaric parents. Along with the lady, her husband should also be jailed for life.
And they say India is developing.

It is *really* disgustingly unbelievable to see the kind of things people do. And for such stupid reasons. Senseless is an understatement.
