Nay, I have no problem with discussions here. Aap admin log hi object karte hain!!!
Oh Madras has changed a lot. In fact I have never seen traditional Mds. Reminds me of the time when my cousin younger than me by 5 years was bugged with her parents bec they told her she must get home by 11 in the night while her friends all dance late into the night in discos and go for beach parties and what not!!! (As they were working in a call centre no timing was odd for them)
I was shocked--my parents even after I was 25 used to give me hell if I got home by 7.30-8 from a harmless shopping trip on my own in neighbouring Ernakulam!!!!
Ya Cochin is far better. More liberal tho not like the metros. The small towns will take a long long time to change. In the small towns wearing lipstick is equal to prostitution, some old folks also say only whores wear flowers in their hair!!!
Waise yahan ladke log to sab kuch karte hain. U see some coming to class in Salman Khan kind of net shirts with odd jewellery and what not. But for women the rules are still different. And I really do not think I wanna waste my life waiting for the city to change its outlook. I remember the campus life in the University of Hyd. The women there were just like the men. No hierarchies, no notions of superiority or any such thing. Our teachers were strong independent admirable women. One was a writer, most of them were involved in some social work or the other, helping in the slums, educating the poor, one was a practising homeopath and excellent Veena player apart from being a genius in critical theory. But what marked the atmosphere was the way there was no distinction between men and women whether teachers or students. Whether in the area of responsibilities, mutual interactions, friendships, work or theatre activities or literary ventures outside the curriculum.
One thing that I find funny here is the way men my dad's age will not smile at me if they see me on the road. Unke ghar mein ya mere parents ke ghar mein yeh sab uncles hain jo hanste hain, joke karte hain but bahar we become man and woman and 'what will the world think!!!' Infact people smile little out here.
Today we had a staff meeting and a girl from the US was introduced. She is part of some mutual student exchange programme for a yr. She was smiling at everyone during the introductions. Here people would say --enda illikyanne (grinning like a fool). Infact one of my students in the BA class told me: Maam, U have no reservations abt smiling. I was taken aback. Obviously I stand out!!!

Purely out of compassion for the general populace afflicted by the 'P' menace during the daylight hours, so that the poor things deservedly get some respite, at least after dusk! (Refer: "Rules of Ancient Warfare", e.g. Mahabharata).
