Why is this perfectly irrelevant post appearing here? Granted, this thread is also pretty irrelevant, but still...

It really works for getting a higher salary, so if that's the only thing you're looking for from a job, then yes, it make a lot of sense.

What cultural identity are we referring to here? Maharashtra is losing its cultural identity to the influx of people from Gujarat and U.P, Calcutta is losing its cultural identity to the large Marwari population, Delhi has already lost whatever culture it had to the influx of Punjabis, J&K is...

Bleah. Porn is the lifeblood of the modern economy. This country needs a legal industry.

The ideal balance is having a hot body and a cool mind. I think I've achieved that.

I don't see anything wrong provided all parties involved are aware of the situation. Having an affair without informing your partner is 'cheating' and that's quite wrong, though.

Thanks for the info -very interesting. I think I'm on record already - what consenting adults do is strictly their own business.

I suppose that's one point of view - what's interesting is to identify the 'line'. An extened kiss in a public place and anything beyond that would probably be embarassing for lookers-on (though why they should look at all is another issue). How about holding hands in public? Does that count...

21? I started much earlier than that :) I think the age of consent is 18 in India, by the way. 16 in the U.S.A. Nice to see you in this thread! I don't know about you, but I find the ease with which people have taken judgemental and rigid stands in this thread to be a little frightening.

I'm curious to know exactly what the couple was doing that made you 'uncomfortable', especially in light of your last line.

The most obvious answer is that India has too many problems to boil down to one. Nonetheless, if I did have to choose, I'd say it's hypocrisy. It's hypocrisy that makes us rant against politicians without actually bothering to become a part of the political process It's hypocrisy that makes us...

Politics is open to anyone who lacks scruples and has a burning desire to exploit the common man, actually. Lineage helps, but lack of it isn't a hindrance.

Are you saying people didn't fall in love before Hindi movies came along?

Yes, I was a little busy of late. I agree with the style thing, but then certain things aren't appropriate in certain places, y'know. I don't wear the same kind of clothes in Mumbai that I do back home on the beaches of Margao. Similarly, my personal view is that using extra-large fonts is...

I take offence at that - I've always tried to maintain a certain quality in my posts (and I'm not just referring to the fact that I spell correctly). Personal attacks like this are so disappointing.
