Kiss Goodbye!

One whole page on the AWJS is dedicated to disapproval of public affection in India:

"Whether to kiss a cultural taboo goodbye divides Indian society"

I aint gonna give my opinion on the whole drama that has caused so much upheaval in India, as I am sure to cross afew people by airing my views, but I would definately say that this is just unbelievable, ridiculous, and to a certain extend disgusting on the part of the whole nation to be focusing on such trivial issues when there are bigger problems to be dealt with.

"Where's the outrage when a woman is raped by her brother-in-law or when thousands of daughters of India are killed every year for an unpaid dowry?" asked Girija Vyas, chairwoman of the National Commission for Women. - AWSJ

I do agree, and I think people should start putting things in perspective. Just bloody ban the channel that aired the damn thing, penalize the organization, write an article or two denouncing R Gere or S Shetty, do whatever it takes to constructively deal with the grievances BUT for heavens sake stop wasting resources on issues that really dont F***in matter in the long run. I presumed more shit was consumed by the Indian masses on a daily basis thru the Bollywood movies and music videos, that the country was getting comfortable with the notion of sexually charged youth as part of life. But comes a "farangi" and patience gets tested - I guess Indians like to keep it Indian, or perhaps enjoy it while it's just happening behind the screens - like the time Ash was gettin hot and bothered in "Mistress of spices" and "Bride & Prejudice".

Anyways, what a coincidence, SCMP was also carryin a whole back page article on India today - "Current Affairs - Soaring demand for power is undermining development in the subcontinent"

Dont even wanna go there, I can carry on and on about the state of Indian affairs...

Love the country but people get your act together and
Live and let live
