Why does Deepika's cleavage make headlines?

-
Deepika's cleavage made headlines that day. And why not? 

It is what we want. Don't we? No? Then how come the video got so many likes and comments if no one wanted to see it? 

And isn't that exactly what that newspaper was looking for? Eyeballs? Well, they got got what they wanted, we got our daily dose of drama and skin and...everyone's happy in the bargain. 

They say that a newspaper often depicts the mood of a nation. Going by the path most leading dailies are taking, it doesn't bode well for us. 
 
Why go so far? Look at your own Facebook account. Put up a racy pic or a raunchy joke and get maximum likes for it. On the contrary, share a true account of a woman getting molested and there are chances that no one will share or like the status. 

As soon as we got to know about deepika's cleavage news we all googled about it I'm sure. I did too, let me be honest. But it did not load on my computer and perhaps it wasn't meant to be. 

That three minutes of waiting made me realise how awful I was. The internet is such a vast ocean of information, there are so many channels on tv which take u to places u have never been to and tell u about things u have never seen before. 

And then we consciously opt for the newspaper which shows us the Mate of the day or the channel which gives us the Sansani news. 

Till we are looking for such content, we will be provided with it. Eve teasing will keep happening, paparazzi will keep clicking provocative pics because those are the ones that make most money. 

Perhaps their conscience is dead. But what we have to decide is whether ours is still with us before we click on the pic that says "see so and so in the bathroom" or "watch this one revealing her navel". Don't u think?

    excellently written! I have stopped searching for these things...as a college goer I accept I was into porn and all and saw some or the others when friends could procure it and I thought having 24*7 net access would be great as it means access to.....freely but today when i have 24*7 access to internet I search google for mythology, politics, biographies, occult, diseases all but not "spice" I think I have grown up or maybe growing celibate. :)

How to combat swimming pool chlorine

Dear friends,  As I write this, the summer is beating down outside my window and not a single leaf moves on the gulmohar tree next to my house. Isn't this the most opportune time to bring out your swimming costumes and dive into the pool? Swimming is one of the best exercises ever but unfortunately, I can't reall say the same thing about its effects on your hair. If you are not particularly careful, you may end up with an athlete's chiselled body and hair looking like the cow's chewing cud.  I remembered an article which I had written long ago for some magazine which spoke about hair care for swimmers. I am reproducing it here for all those of you who swim but don't know how to take care of the chlorine in the water. Here they are. I hope these tips are useful to you. Before your swim, wet your hair If you are a regular swimmer, you must have seen the showers that surround the pool. They are there for a reason more important than pool decorati

She may wear shorts...so does that make her a slut?

Having given your topic a thought, I think there are three types of people. Type 1: People who are only taught to look not think -          These are the people who are brought up to believe in stereotypes. For e.g. if you wear a saree, you have a behenji mentality…or if you wear a bikini, you are easy and slutty…or if you wear jeans to office, you take your work casually…and so on and so forth. -          They are not taught to think deeply, or look beyond the outer shell of just about anything...people, houses, situations so they take everything at face value. -          More often than not, they are a product of extreme low confidence. They are not proud of where they come from, who they are and this more often than not rubs off on their opinion of others. Type 2: Those people who blindly follow culture and traditions -          These are, more often than not, the opposite of the people above. They have a false superiority complex about themselves. -          It

Review: Origin

Origin by Dan Brown My rating: 3 of 5 stars 1. Great one time read. It goes on and on towards the end, I thought, but I still wanted to finish it since it was quite enthralling. 2. While reading, I thought that the end will be lame but I was pleasantly surprised. Of all his books, the end of this book brought home a few truths which are staring at us in the face. 3. If you want to read Dan Brown, be equipped with your Wikipedia page open on your computer or mobile phone. There are so many historical facts thrown in and most of his books feature some real places. It is quite a treat to look them up while reading the book, so as to a clearer picture of the proceedings in the novel. View all my reviews
