SATC

this blank box is one of the most intimidating things in the world!!!
have been maxing out on 'sex and the city'! it is a totally girly show for girls! i watch it for hours after my husband's fallen asleep or when he isn't at home.... hehe guilty secret no.1! it makes you think a lot, about married life, single life, relationships, casual sex, whatever...
personally speaking, i'm not a casual sex kinda person (major understatement from an indian - casual sex would mean a dimension or paradigm change for me!!!), and it's hard for me to understand sleeping with anyone without getting married first, let alone after just a couple of dates. it's got nothing to do with india though - the things kids do nowadays and the way they talk makes my hair go white. we've imported the western attitude alongwith the clothes, the junk food and the technology. oh, and of course, coca cola! kids nowadays dont go to school... they have oral sex in the hostel, which they secretly tape on their phones and send to all their friends. oh god, i never wanna have kids! anyway, the point is, sleeping with somebody you barely know or just met seems to me a little strange. being naked with somebody is the ultimate moment of truth. how can you invest so much in just a casual encounter? hmmm, but there's something to be said for the opposite point of view too - if you can't find love, atleast have sex in the meantime! :-)
another thing i noticed about the characters of the show - how to remain 'yourself' even while being in a relationship. i don't understand this at all! this assumes that you are one constant, static person, which you so are not! you're constantly reacting to changes in your environment, that make you think, analyze, evolve... change! then why not allow relationships to change who you are as well? after all, aren't you with that person because they're really special, because they stand out from the herd? being in a relationship is about both people meeting each other half-way, and how can you do that if you refuse to budge?
