Reel Life & Real Life

Girls go about sashaying in the skimpiest of clothes.Guys cuddle them, smooch them or even perform acts of utmost taboo.No moral policing is being done here.People dont raise a hue and cry.So no major questions are raised .Gyrating semi naked heroines are ogled at by different age groups.They say its all REEL life.

What happens when a handsome fifty year old gets caught by the heat of the moment and repeatedly kisses an "Indian" actress.Sentiments are flared.People denounce the act.Reactions galore.How could two people kiss on stage in a Live event .Its "REAL" life for gods sake!!!.They should have acted responsibly .It was a AIDS function afterall.Events unfold and junta are deeply stirred with emotion.One such gentleman files a PIL .Richard Gere gets an arrest warrant under section 294 (performing obscene acts in Public).

One word can decribe the unfolding of such events.HYPOCRITES.Obscene acts in Reel is ok, but in Real it flares up people, and kindles them to recite the epochness of Indias socio Cultural edifice.What they fail to realise is that more often than not movies reflect a part of the changing face of society.They also depict a cultural change espoused by the Gen X or Gen Y .They can ogle at gyrating semi naked woman on screen but a kiss in public is a NO NO.When will our society stop being dualistic and accept facts as they are?

So next time when two people in love want to share a moment in public please rethink. No kissing on the cheek repeatedly allowed.A safe solution is in hand .Please blow out kisses to each other.Its an age old formula and it doesnt involve touching the member of the opposite sex.

So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones"

nice one sudh!

Dire straits to the rescue, methinks!

However, the Gere matter was blown out of proportion. And all this when couples shamelessly kiss in our movies and people from all cultures and backgrounds are eligible to walk into theatres and see it all.

Our fine friend the hypocrite bellows and makes his presence felt!

Kissing is a taboo only in our country. People find out reasons to fill up the news spaces.. and this was came as a big chunk for them.

As you rightly said big time Hypocrites!
