Kissing is a basic show of affection and it depends on the individuals involved for its nature and meaning. it can be done between couples whether married or unmarried, between a brother and a sister, between a son and a mother/father, between a daughter and a mother/father, and the list goes on. and yes the type of kiss also varies depending on the combinations. lets not try to beat the drums of our culture and how it is being poisoned by western values. the west never felt shy in showing emotions, and hence their social structure regarding such public display of emotions is different. india on the other hand had a different outlook. to be very true Vatsayana\'s book depicts many different forms of kissing but obviously they serve a single purpose. so if we kiss in public in india, we are not aping the west, nor are we poisoning the society. yes its true that there should be a line between emotion and obscenity. the point is not about western culture being bad and indian culture is golden.western culture is for the west, they dont ridicule us for being conservative. likewise we should be mature enough not to rebuke theirs. so ban obscenity and stop making rules to harass public!!!
