I totally disagree with the authors perspective in scene 1. To mention, the author should't have forgot that this the country which gave Kamasutra to the world. But we definitly have a culture to follow and protect.
Scene 3, does flirting level indicates cities matureness ? I did not know that. In a way I do agree that society has to improve the way they see a friendship between a male and female.
Its so strange that, the author, who does numerous interviews with great personalities, has written an article just for kicks!!! If this was targeted at getting more young minds to follow your articles, then, I am sorry to say that you have not done your primary duty towards the society at large.
Please don't write only negatives about our great culture and tradition. This makes the readers feel that indian culture is bad and should not be followed. Rather, we need people like you to write good things as well about our culture, so that we can learn and understand it better.
Indian culture has withstood the test of time. I do agree that there are some things which need to change. But that doesn't happen when you don't understand your culture. Present day people, thanks to media, are ignorant about our culture and tradition. Only with knowledge, we can change ourselves and make the society a better place.
Lets strive towards understand the culture and in the process better ourselves and our great old culture and tradition. Lets not loose the wealth which our forefathers have given us. Let us understand where we have misunderstood them and then rectify.
Hi Shobha, I did not expect this kind of article from you. Are you saying that what happens in other metros like girls smoking, drinking and going for discos are really good and nobody should do anything about that. Even IE had written about this! I agree that too much policing is not good, but when things go out of hand, this is the only way to prevent school going people from misbehaving.
Sorry SW, this is not expected from somebody who has written such nice articles all these years.
Am happy that atleast in chennai, people are being disciplined.Thanks to big brother.We ought to know what could be done in public and what not.It is a pity that people in chennai aping stupid culture.for heavens sake people have bedrooms and bathrooms also more than a park or beach.
What the hell is this article about chennai? I guess "shobha warrior" knows nothing about Chennai. Where did the famous MMS case originate ? Did it originate in Chennai? I guess she is so open that she wouldn't mind if her son/daughter kisses a girl/boy in public (and not caught by the big brother as she describes). such a forward thoughful mother :-) stop writing such crap
Hey Arvind, even as a non-Chennaite I can very well understand your point that generalising a city in itself is bad. But are you8 not doing the same thing when you say "Chennai is not as corrupted as other metros....". It depends on the people of the city how to react to certain issues and how they cope up with changing time. Has the general public of Chennai really come out protesting the people who has physically/ mentally abused actor Khushboo or any such instances mentioned the article? I can tell from my own experience that a lot many people in my apartment has strongly objected to my cooking non-veg, smoking or having a few drinks quitely (I promise, no party, no gals, no hulla-gulla at all)... And the same I have heard from few other non-Chennai colleagues too. But at the same time I find the TASMAC shops in the city are always full... It's strange! Anyway, no hard feelings.
The writer seems to be obsessed with having sex in public and kissing on the dance floor.I dont mean to say what's happened in Chennai is correct but morally speaking its not wrong either and for those who have a problem accepting to certain norms may as well stay away from the metropolitan.
Its not what's written that's wrong but the way its been portrayed deserves condemnation.
hi all i am also a young boy who have the desire to roll hands over shoulders of girls,plant a kiss on hteir lips , go to pubs and enjoy the scenario. but i do not do all these activities since it will spoil our culture.we are following the western ,which is very dangerous , i think the big brother is taking the right way.
we are indians and we should protect our culture and social norms
Hi me Chennai brethren. Well I've visited Chennai a few countless times and I must say it's a nice place. It's still a place where Indians have not diluted their culture and traditions too much unlike our Mumbai or Delhi brethren. Think the guy who came up with this article must've had a couple of forgettable experiences. BUT DID ALL THAT'S MENTIONED HERE ACTUALLY HAPPEN?? It was quite hilarious though. Cheers!!
