The one month old little miracle is already world-wide famous

Lali, the name that her parents chose for her turned one month old this last Friday and she was born with a medical condition called polycephaly, meaning that she basically has two faces. Unfortunate as it may be, I believe the approach that people with incomplete education have had towards this event should make one try to force them to allow her to receive medical attention instead of just sitting there and blindly thinking that she is the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess.

This is Ganesh, the Hindu God

And this is Lali Singh, does anyone mind if I fail to see the resemblance?

Though this topic has been made available through mass media on all possible channels, after reading throughout all those interviews, on location reports and all that traditional media crap, I believe no one, but no one except from a few timid blogging voices had any kind of opinion that would even challenge common sense.

Here’s what I’m talking about : “Up to 100 people have been visiting Lali at her home every day to touch her feet out of respect, offer money and receive blessings”, Vinod Singh, 23, a poor farm worker, the unfortunate girl’s father had to say for AP. He also did not forget to mention that he believes she’s fine, “like any other child”. Okay, please do not judge to me too harshly, but shouldn’t the “poor farm worker” that probably likes the money offerings from the other superstitious people should consider the fact the his own daughter is in pain most evidently and that perhaps he should not have said no to the offer of a free CT that the local doctor made him? Excuse me, but isn’t that what your regular dad in a regular place in this world would do?
All I have to say about this is that I hope those people that parented this unlucky baby girl will be apprehended for stupidity and be kept from further reproduction. As for little Lali, all I would like to say is: please, let her live her short life pain-free, she does not deserve to be tortured, she does not deserve to be a circus freak in the name of a superstition, she deserves to live and die in peace, as much as that is possible at this point.
