Gossip

There are few people (between the ages 16 and 24) who can refuse the charms of online relationships. Obviously we are talking about the educated and computer savvy people here. But few people actually make a success out of their online exploits. The reason: Most men are involved in online relationships just for fun and have no intention of getting serious. On the other hand, most young Indian girls want to get married to the first guy they get involved with, online or in the real world.

For a nation that boasts of being the second most populous nation in the world, we are not very forthcoming about sex, are we? Survey after survey points out how strong is the libido of our western counterparts or how they are more open to experimentation in sex. In fact, their movies are also quite open about sex scenes and boast of some of the best shot love-making scenes. Our own desi films have been “creatively inspired” from movies such as “Fatal Attraction” and in fact the Hollywood Blockbuster “Pretty Woman” has inspired at least two Hindi versions.

“What do men really want?”

This question has long plagued the minds of women the world over. Do they want love? Or is it plain old sex that drives them? Maybe they are just looking for friendship and affection? They like hot bods, for sure! Cute faces also figure on the list, right? Do they care for the personality of their women? Or is their like/dislike linked only with the bods?

As teenagers, most of us have lived on an MB enriched diet, right? There comes a point in every girl’s life when romantic fiction drives the world and nothing else exists. That’s when most girls are found clinging to their Mills & Boon’s. And now, we- the women of India, have another reason to cheer. Now we can read Mills & Boon novels written and published in India, hopefully with Indian characters.

Mr Nice Guy

Traditionally, it’s always been the man’s prerogative. You, the woman, were just expected to wait for ‘him’ to make a move. And if ‘he’ was too shy, you might as well forget about the whole thing. Many a relationships (that could have turned into marriages) did not see the light of the day because the woman would/could not make the first move. But times have changed now. It is acceptable for women to make the first move. You see a guy at a party, you go and strike up a conversation, you show interest, and if he needs more…you ask him out. It’s as simple as that!

The Indian society has opened up quite a bit in the last decade. Today we see love marriages finding acceptance. We even hear about live-in relationships. But as soon as you enter any middle class household, you’ll hear constant bickering between young girls and their parents over the issue of ‘Boyfriend’!
