Changing Ways!... But

I have been noticing certain changing ways.
Of????
Of we Indians. Yes the ones staying in big city. I won't be able to comment on the ways of smaller towns or villages as have recently not been exposed much to the way of living there.

Rakhi came and went two days back.

I was happy that my office had declared leave on the occasion of Rakhi and would give me some time to spend at home and do some pending household work.

But, I was not atall ready for what I experienced.
(Un)Fortunately I had to step out of home, and no not to tie rakhi as I don't have any real brother and my cousins don't stay in the same city.

The first 10 minutes on road were a smooth drive and then suddenly all hell broke lose. There was traffic chaos everywhere. The vehicles would not stop coming and we were stuck in the middle, couldnot go in front nor could turn back.

In all the chaos and confusion as usual my mind started running on another tangent.

In my mind I was running backwards, yes back in time.

I ran back in my memory to that thread end which I could remember and stopped.

Then I started walking again from my past towards my present.

Festivals in my childhood (won't say my younger days as it will sound as if I have gone old!) were also occasion of celebrations and ways of sociallising with family and friends. And such occasions were few to be precise 3 occasion throughout the year viz; Holi, Dushera & Diwali.
But with years more festivals started gaining importance socially.
Soon it started becoming a status symbol to celebrate festivals.

And after the Indian Economy boom it is reaching a new high...Commercially.

Yes Our festivals have become commercial.

Just think and see around you. The euphoria created due to any occasion is so inflated that its glitter sometimes take my breath away.

On the brighter side, we are becoming more and more secular and flexible. Baisakhi is no longer a festival celebrated in specific states of North India. Be it Pongal, Idul-Zuha, Id (oh I love demanding Idde from elders), rakhi, karva chauth, chat puja, christmas or anything, everyone wants to celebrate every festival, give and receive gifts, and just have a gala time.

But, I don't know how right or wrong is this.

It's just that I find it wierd. Guess somewhere deep down in my heart I am still old fashioned.
Maybe my lifestlye, my behaviour, my actions have changed as per the 'culture' prevalent around me. But somewhere a corner of my heart has refused to change...

May Be...

Sex

Oh Yes!
Sex!

A three letter word, which results in 1,050,000,000 results when searched on Google web and 2,690,000 results when searched on Google Image and yes I had removed all filters before giving the search command.

Phew!
Why is it the most talked about, most hidden about topic is beyond me.
Yes, I also don't talk about it infront of anyone because either I am asked to shut up or people around me get uncomfortable. But, the biggest reason is that people start making a pass at me thinking me to be someone of losse character!
Well, aren't we all result of this three letter word?
We may use n number of ways to discribe it, reproductive process, natures law, love making.. but it is after all SEX. Thats it.
So???
I fail to understand the heu n cry made about it.
Yes, people say that we live in a society and should follow it's rules. Accepted and we most of the time do that. So then why is it a tabbu to talk about even in the socially acceptable relationships.

I tried, believe me very patiently and earnestly tried to find the reason but couldnot.

And yes I never broched this subject infront of my parents..
After all we need to follow the rules of the society..

Isn't It?
