Life in a Metro!

This post kindda takes off from where the previous post left off.

Saw the movie "Life in a metro" yesterday. Brilliant movie, especially the 1st half. Really l;oved the sequence where our hero is trying to co-ordinate who gets to use his apartment in which day. It was a beautiful sequence which suddenly showed how all the characters were interlinked to each other.

But coming abck to the issue at hand, the sexual promiscuity and permissiveness that exists in the corporate world(esp a BPO) was spot on. After hearing first hand accounts of what goes on in places where you have thousands of 20-somethings working together all night/day, I really appreciated the fact that the director showed the world as it is instead of trying to show us the goody-goody Sooraj Barjatya/Yash Chopra view of the Indian youth.

But coming back to the previous post, what was important was that the movue showed how the youth of this country are experimenting with sex. For some its just plain fun, for others a way to get ahead in their careers. Nevertheless, our dearest politicians need to wake up to this reality and realise why education on these topics is important. Just saying that sex education will lad to a more permissive sexual environment is incorrect, and if anything sex edcation at the right age would surely reduce the spread of STDs and decrease the number of unwanted pregnancies.

Well this kindda makes up for the guilt feeling of not doing justice to the previosu post, so I think that this topic can now be safely laid to rest.
