ANCIENT SCULPTURES VS MAGAZINE COVERS

Discussions with the Worldly Wise hereinafter referred to as WW (mostly men).

Subject :Latest semi nude models seen on every magazine cover versus the ancient Indian sculptures people go to visit esp. during honeymoon.

Meera : Gosh! Look at these shameless girls…goodness they don’t have any shame? Her father, brother,friends must be watching her like this – just clad in a panty and a bra….that too lacy – her nipples can be seen as well!

WW :So what? Its her body – she has no problems in showing it – whats your problem?...or are you jealous that you do not have such a lovely creaseless figure that she has.She is bold enough to pose like this.

Meera : nonsense ! even if I was only a bare skeleton, I would not have worn this bikini!!Its downright cheap & shameless !! and by the way do you happen to know why exactly the term ‘bold’ is used in describing such girls?

WW: ‘Bold’ – well its being brave, courageous…

Meera : bingo! There you go wrong! there is another dictionary meaning of ‘bold’ – it suggests impudence, shamelessness & immodestly esp. in women.- were you aware of that?...I think not – you are working in an ace Corporate Office but you are not aware of another meaning of ‘bold’ – no wonder why so many girls are jumping to become nude – they all probably think the same like you – Indians are anyways famous for their atrocious knowledge of English….

WW: (irritated) – its not possible for one human to know everything….what I meant was its mostly used to describe courage – the ‘bold’ soldiers of the Indian Defence…

Meera : Beg your pardon!? – you are putting the Indian Jawans and pre-independence Freedom fighters in the same bracket -…with the semi nude shameless lasses! This is ridiculous really !

WW: No I am not saying that…what I am trying to say is that this has been going on since eons – don’t you see the ancient Temples and Monuments in India – all are showing ‘love making’ postures – I think compared to that this magazine cover is far better …at least they are not interlocked in a love posture !

Meera: That was a different age altogether! …well its like when a human is an infant , the cells divide very fast – that’s why its suggested to Mothers that the new-born baby should get a lot of sleep – as its during that time the cell divides faster – but when we become adults – our cells don’t divide that fast – similarly Mother Earth required many humans to work – humans -even animals & plants for that matter – are like cells of mother Earth – during infant stage, ie during pre-historic and even recent historic times– all that women did was reproduce – that was all that she did – but now things are different – through eons of knowledge that we have accumulated – we are Adults now – we need’nt propagate sex so much – in fact now we should stop showing such sexual postures altogether and do things which take us higher – towards betterment of Society, happiness among all, spreading knowledge…..

WW: Oh! Fine – you do it then – take a drum and beat it saying ‘hear hee hear hee- lets make this World a beautiful place…I can arrange for a mike and loudspeaker.There are many people already engaged in doing exactly this – but the public does not want that – whoever gives them what they want – they go there – Simple – neither you nor I can do anything about it….

(Everyone else in the room had a hearty laugh and started to describe how Meera would look when she beats the drum. Meera also smiled – she understood its too much for a male to bear a scar in his ego – which Meera had given him in front of others so the topic was quickly changed – and other men too were very keen on changing the topic – afterall most of them had been masturbating on such nude pictures since the day they had entered Puberty – they owed the “bold’ Models a lot – so they could not stand anyone belittling them – Men are Loyal to ‘Bold and available dames – who serve to feed their egos – on seeing their helpless nuances – they get this sheer confidence in themselves and since it’s a ‘give and take’ era- men see to it that such dames are the only ones who are promoted, propagated worldwide…and Meera kind of Ladies- who just take a second to bruise the Male ego- are the most avoided !)
