I was a student in Melbourne, Australia where salaam namaste was shot. I feel through our country is poor our culture is one of the best in the world. I am proud that we have a culture which is unique to India. Western countries dont have a culture. All these dating & stuff in the name of being modern shows their attitude towards relationships. We are lucky to grow up in comfort our parents. Its not possible for Indian youths to have such relationships as they dont have social security unlike in the west. People in the west have casual attitude towards sex and practice polygamy & are never comitted to family or friends unlike us. Usually people will lose interest in one another after all thier sexual needs are met and when there is no topic to talk about. I haven't seen anybody in Melbourne who has find a nice partner and stick to him/her for long.I like to live like my parents who are married .since 28 years and yet they love and care for each other. Not even 10% of Australia is like that. Why preach Indian youngsters such a culture.

Hi Mr Modern with white girlfreind!!! Good that you boasted it up and very frankly treated the other gentlemen with jovial words like bullshit. Mr London, I really dont see any bullshit in Sudhir's view. He may be heartlost but you are one of those desis who are mindlosts and think everything is accepted if you give some stupid logic to it. Mr london with white girlfreind, you are in the hangover of sex with that white lady!!! Come out of that and you will feel what kinda blows are there!!

I agree. Indian women don't think the way their western counterparts think and analyze men. Indian women are often found to be cold and unresponsive to all the advances made by women. Here its like guys are supposed to make the first move (its the unwritten rule in our country). Women never care to reciprocate their feelings (if any) to men. Men are suppposed to woo their date in style. In the west men and women are so footloose and free that by the time they are into teens, 9 out of ten people have had atleast 20-25 dates, made love to atleast 10-15, and befriended atleast 4-5 out of them.
Is the Indian society (or should i say, the Indian women) ready for this? Contrary to what the the recent surveys tell about the urban indian youth, even the urban women (with all the pub/discotheque culture) are not so open with men.
The column is so westernised with no thought for what may essentially be different in India. Granted, with all the modernisation...some of the things may be true. But how about love, trust, faith or adjustment.These are more difficult to find on a first date and more often sought out for in a long term relationship. Materialistic views or following a trend may be a dangerous advice you are giving to impressionable youngsters and should not be allowed on a site like Rediff.
Its very true, I had some very close encounters on my daily routine to get a date. Till now, i was waiting how to go a head. I think Now i have my answer. Thanks Sita !!
All this dating and stuff is crap..I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart..The feeling after being rejected is equivalent to that of loosing near or dear ones... So ban all dates and stuff like that..Why do we fall for others??..It is all crap..
