Virginity,Premarital Sex,Live In

For the past two days everyone seems to be shocked at Supreme Court's observation that premarital sex and live in are not offences in relation with the case which involves actor Khushboo's remarks on the same. As I go through the report I found it very funny the way the complainants were asked by court like after the remarks were
made any of their daughters had eloped with anyone since they claimed that the interview had an adversary effect on their families. And confirming that its just a person's view nothing more than that SC continued with other issues which really makes sense.A lot of letters, tweets and other stuff came out condemning SC's observation. Everyone was so worried about what would happen to our moral values and ethics which we boast to hold on.This is one face of modern India.

Now the next, I came through this report in Indian Express yeserday,of which the headline was something like this,"The virginial tests are increasing in India". And the report goes on like this. The hospitals are doing a lot of virginial surgery to restore the hymen in women which might have ruptured because of premarital sex though always not necessarily its the reason, like, those who do rigoruos physical excercises,dancers, athletes all may have this problem. But the doctors confirms that the majority who undergo this cosmetic surgery comes in the former section than in the latter. Those who do are of between twenty to thirty years of age.And the reason what they are giving is that although they don't care much about virginity and all, their parents are traditional and the guy who is going to marry will expect a virgin bride irrespective of how modern he is.The doctors say that there are no side effects for this surgery. the cost of it depends upon where you undergo like if it is a public hospital it will come around 15k to 20k whereas if it is done in a private it will cost you 50k to 70k. Still the numebr is ever increasing the report says.This is another face of modern India.

Now where we are heading to between all these hypocrisies? Having a generation who still hold to conservative values which always need not be right while boasting of western cullture and development over there and having another generation who tries to emulate western culture but with a society who will never accept and sandwiched more than that a lot confused.

What's the time?

Today on my way to office while I was waiting for bus at bustop an elder lady asked me what's the time then in Tamil. Though I am not well versed in Tamil I knew this much that certain words are similar in both malayalam and tamil and if you can present it tactically u win. So I told her its 1.45 trying to tamilise. Anyway she understood what I told. Suddenly I hoped she wouldn't ask me the time again that time itself. I wondered the reflex thought I had in my mind and smiled recollecting the reason behind my reflex thought.
It took my memory back to my school days. I was in high school at that time not sure in ninth or tenth, just to highlight I was old enough to wear watch and know the time looking at it. One day my way back to home from school, it was exam time or some other occasion since it was just afternoon. I was almost nearing to my home and absent minded as always a sound stopped me from my day dreaming. It was from a lady who came from my neighbour's house and she asked me,"What's the time now?". I looked at my watch and told her its 2.30. She gave me an unbelievable look and repeated what I said."2.30?".Now this shocking expression awoke me completely from my day dreaming.I was not sure what's the time then. I looked at my watch again and said apologiisingly,"Sorry,it's 1.30."This time she gave me a weird look and walked past me. I was still blinking what's the actual time and what's wrong with her.When I reached my home I told this my mom and she had a hearty laugh.I complained that I told her correct time when she asked me first. I don't know why she was so surprised at it.That's why I too was confused.Mom said may be she was not aware that the time went past so soon.That's why she was surprised.But when you told another time again she would have thought you dint know to use watch.Anyway I was so embarassed and after that incident whenever someone asks me the time this will come to my mind and I will be too careful to answer.

Selfless love

Is there anything called selfless love? CAn you love anyone without expecting anything back but love. The most sacred love in this world is told to be the love of a mom towards her child. IS that also selfless?While you analyse it meticulously you can see that a mom may not complain even when you neglect her or don't love her as your boyfriend or girlfriend does.But it doesn't mean that she never expects love in return.Let us look at the same issue from a different angle. If her child was not hers or putting it in simple words can she love some other child as she does her own child. I think its almost impossible though we used to boast like all mothers only know to love kids but their own. ofcourse there are exceptions.But very very rare. Then there is another thing called sympathy. Most of the times people mistake sympathy for love. Sympathy comes out of your humanity. Its a concern for another living creature.You can never count it as love.In that case you don't expect anything back, anything at all.I strongly feel that you can't love anyone without a small trace of love back if not anything else.If anyone who can counterargue with me always welcome.Because I seriously want to know it.

There was an article in Hindu a few days before with headline as Selfishness and Altruism. In the article a research study based on two well known ship wreckages which happend within a gap of three years or so, with one ship being Titanic, says that in case of titanic disaster the majority who survived it was women and children whereas in the other case it was a minority. The study points that in case of titanic everyone was aware that a disater is ahead long time before it actually happened but in the other case it happened as an unexpected one. In the case of titanic people had the time to think about moral values and ethics but in other one the basic instinct, to help themselves, played a major role. So does it show that at the end of the day all of us are selfish?

Happy Pi day to all.....

We had Women's day in the beginning of this week. Wanted to write something about it as I did last year. Since it was a hectic week for me I couldn't. Now all the hallabaloo about its over;though still we have a six month offer in Lakme beauty saloon and in some textile shops;). So not feeling to write anything about it. We had yesterday Glaucoma day. And there is one more day to celecbrate.Just reckoned that I would
Yes...Today is Pi day...I don't know how many of you know about it. Anyway I came to know about it only last week when I read about it in Young World. And not necessary to say that it caught my attention. After learning about our dear Pi for such a long time none had mentioned about this day.As all of us know Pi is nothing but the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It has great significance in the world of mathematics which in turn rules the whole world.Pi has been evn mentioned in vedas.Now let us see why today is Pi day.it is because when you write today's date in American format, i.e., 3/14, it comes as the value of Pi. So obviously you can say some other day also. It is July 22, 22/7, which is known as Approximate Pi's day.So let us celebrate today ust like any other day to be celebrated.(Anyway I hated Pi when it didn't get cancelled by making the calculations more complicated.)

A long pending poem

Wrote these lines long time before. Now I am posting it since my PM has left for the day and I have stuck with my requirement.So nothing else to do.I wanted to add few more lines to this but I am totally blank at present except for some weird thoughts as usual. Though I considered putting those in words, I feel very lazy to do. But for sure I am gonna publish it soon.I wish if there was some background music I could add now just to emphasise what I said as if a new movie is coming soon.

I dont know why the promises are made
Are they made just not to keep
Why he always expected me to keep all
while he never kept even a single one
it was late for me to realize that
for him those were mere words
when I lived only for it
