Prominence !!! What the hell was that ? Why did I start my blog with this word ? I remembered my friend who in an extempore started his speech with the word SEX !!!! All were taken aback, silence prevailed almost in a instant , a 13 year old boy crying that aloud !!! The principal of my school who happened to be a Jesuit priest clattered his teeth thinking, " Come down from the podium and I will show you what intercourse is , you shameless brat " . But, the next moment, he says," Now that I have your attention let me start the topic of the day, Success is not a destination but a journey." The auditorium applauded and burst out laughing. That was prominence, a very promising speaker who prominently demonstrated his presence and won the hearts of all.
But my mind was boggling about the first word that he uttered, Sex !!!!! A thing that fantasizes the heart of every teenager. Lust was clinging, tall girls with conspicuous assets , surrounding and craving for my attention. Brain is an excellent painter, it paints the image of one's thoughts with utmost perfection.
Stage 2 college !!! The word SEX was now associated with Love .... Lust was almost gone . I realized that I was growing up.
Stage 3 Work !!! The flavor of the word was almost lost . I felt disgusted seeing people bowing their heads down in shame after listening to this word, How I despised the reaction of my principal now . What disgusted me is the fact that most of us were living double standards. Sex is still a taboo for most of us. In villages people still blush when this word is uttered. WTF , I wonder. I appreciate the fact that we are rich in culture and have an age old heritage which many countries lack. We have an immense bundle of talent. Our strength lies in our people , who have the capability to shake the world. But we still have a very defensive attitude. We never seem to accept our mistakes. How long can we lead our lives with a "Chalta Hai " attitude.
Now coming to the first word, Prominence !!! We are becoming prominent, our accomplishments are drawing the attention of the world. The biggest amongst them is our population. This is something which cannot be broken by any country. I agree that China has a bigger population but they are having many measures to control the same. Be rest assured we will beat them hands on. We are a developing nation !!! I hate this statement . My grandfather heard it, my father heard it and now I am hearing this, I do not know if my son and grandchildren will also hear it or not. And our defensive society states that we have a large population as an excuse. Give me a break man. What are we doing to control that? Lame ads on TV on Vasectomy, a person risking his life to get a condom !!!
Sex is a taboo - quite reflected by our body language but not our actions or our thinking. Women getting married early and then turning into baby producing machines. Friends if you read this blog, please do not think I'm complaining. I'm tired of hearing the fact that we are not developing because of our growing population, our corruption etc. etc. We are not developing because we have a weak conscience, are defensive and lack self control.
I will be going to villages for sure, spreading this word, to control our population through the means of education as I do not see any other means. Please suggest if you have alternative solutions. let us all shed our "Chalta Hai" attitude, join hands , accept mistakes, and take measures of correcting them. Show to the world that we are prominent in changing the evils of our society and Making India a developed nation.

its amazing how repressed indians are when it comes to SEX. you're right - the word itself creates a hushed environment. its amazing that the land where the kama sutra is from and where temple walls are adorned with sculptures of various sexual positions, that same land is now unwilling to freely talk about it. so damn hypocritical!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!!! I have wondered myself how a country can have such a high population and still have sex as a taboo.
