Hypocrisy prevails!

Look at the hypocrisy of our society. It is okay to watch Sunny, Zeenat, and Celina dancing naked but a shame to watch porn; it is acceptable to watch porn, buy porn but not talk about sex openly; it is okay to ogle at a girl wearing "revealing" clothes but it is absolutely acceptable and unobjectionable if the pallu falls "by chance" in case of aunts dusting the floor or comfortably doing the household chores without the dupatta and with their sagging bosoms. What an irony to gain multiple degrees in education and skills but not letting our minds grow! I often wonder what the change is all about. Is it about more employment opportunities (which I do not see in case of talented and sincere people), better infrastructure (certainly not after witnessing a steady growth in clusters of jhuggis), improved living opportunities (hardly any space left within the city for peaceful living), increase in education standards (still inaccessible to the marginal sections), or has it come in the name of fashion and looks with people blindly aping the West without any sense and sensibility? I believe that until we begin to walk with time and embrace the change that it brings, we cannot call ourselves modern in any sense. Let us be honest in confessing that we only look modern but our thinking stinks. By calling a naala lake doesn't change its ingredients. I am neither talking about generation gap nor advocating modernity. I am just saying that let us stop maintaining double standards and carrying a fake personality everywhere we go. Let us stand up for what we think is right, let us do what we believe in instead of complaining, and let us accept shit as shit and rose as a rose. I believe in living with courage. Do you???
