What is the point of this article? Why pick on one particular city? From the structure of the article, its pretty evident that even the writer does not have the answers to these questions. Nevertheless, I do agree with the point she is trying to make. Not only Chennai, but this article applies to all areas of India. The funny thing is, the common excuse is that our culture does not allow this..well, will someone point out in the book of Indian culture (I mean there has to be one, since everyone refers to it), which paragraph and furthermore, which line refers to the fact that couples should not indulge in kissing, holding hands, even pre-marital sex. The paradox here is that for a culture that is seemingly so 'reserved' we have the second highest population in the world...and I am guessing here (and I have to, because saying I know would indicate I am more inclined to be Western) but they must have to indulge in some kind of sexual act to produce them. By the way, what is the stand of 'Indian culture reference book of all things sacred' on the increasing number of home-videos and mms clips of couples found on the internet, I know lets shut down the internet - problem solved!!
