Pornography is a product and it has a target audience, for that purpose their needs to be pornographic material. <br /><br />I agree, that there could have been other liberal ways of solving Savita's problem but we are not dealing with the subject of a novel here. Its porn. <br /><br />Secondly, Savita is a woman of the lower middle class. In the context of the functioning of the institution of arranged marriages in India, their is a great ratio of women who do keep struggling with their marriage inspite of "incompatibility" with the partner (and mostly domestic violence) simply because of the distance their is between justice and the court in our country. <br /><br />In such a circumstances, their might be an odd case or two (or many)where an incestual relationship may develop. <br /><br />In that sense, the whole plot has a bit of realism to it. I hope you agree.Arpit Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084428387344671252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421613196770564251.post-1555335612039651522010-08-08T12:58:34.260+05:302010-08-08T12:58:34.260+05:30and yet the sky and earth alike

Though it is, almost always, more difficult to chalk out a solution and the countours of the progression to it than the stating of the problems for which it's required- and perhaps that's why talking as much of the solution, if not more, is of no mean importance.<br /><br />Also, I don't quite see how turning to your brother-in-law for sexual satiety makes one the "face of freedom and a face of India's liberals". I would have supposed that applying for divorce on grounds of incompatibility would've been a really emancipated and 'free' thing to do, not screwing over with other people and maintaining the guise of fidelity all along. It's another thing to be sexually deviant and enjoy it and another to have the courage to break out of an unsatisfying marriage.APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861449757599870039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421613196770564251.post-24675701327196315042010-06-02T21:02:52.778+05:302010-06-02T21:02:52.778+05:30But dont you think that groups in society are only...But dont you think that groups in society are only proud of their own groups in this country?like the MNS who are all based upon the idea of regionalism in mumbai,no hindi language being allowed in karnataka,nagaland only for nagas and no nagamese.it's all about identity crysis and when you mingle these issues with politics..it becomes very dangerouscasjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328336465481818767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421613196770564251.post-27230483323463340642010-06-02T20:50:46.424+05:302010-06-02T20:50:46.424+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.casjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328336465481818767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421613196770564251.post-68233421819904743972009-10-12T13:12:37.342+05:302009-10-12T13:12:37.342+05:30Dear Arpit,
Without going into critical analysis, ...Dear Arpit,<br />Without going into critical analysis, I'll just comment on what I read......And let me tell you, the reading was good....though it could had been better but it certainly doesn't contradict the talent you possess.... In poetry, to say, whether a poem good or bad is meaningless because it's the emotion which speaks not words... Words only compliment the emotions.... Though the title seems quite off-track in beggining but as the poem goes on, it's realised that there couldn't had been a better title to this... Keep going like this untill your poems also raise themselves beyound all the points of references.

Like there's no absolute truth there is no absolute, sacred role or function of anyone or anything. <br /><br />In any case, I don't feel it's possible to completely lose, or put aside, one's identity in the conscious state. I can't quite think of the appropriate term, but I believe there is a subtle difference between losing one's identity and putting it aside for a while...<br /><br />In any case, I suppose one's indentity-if we assume it to be a monolithic entity-does contribute to one's performance on the stage. You go up and act because you're confident enough to do so- you, and not your character. Further, your own bend of mind will influence which character you're comfortable with. I mean, a good actor might perhaps play any character, but there're still a few s/he can identify with more easily than others...APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861449757599870039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421613196770564251.post-58318506986020680382009-08-09T20:44:55.669+05:302009-08-09T20:44:55.669+05:30Arpit,u have done a wonderful job...keep it upArpit,u have done a wonderful job...keep it upAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155381090859431220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421613196770564251.post-57445235381636373312009-08-09T18:56:34.068+05:302009-08-09T18:56:34.068+05:30Arpit, as we know has a broad range of thinking an...Arpit, as we know has a broad range of thinking and I wasn't surprised when I saw Arpit's take on Democracy.<br />It was good attempt to highlight how the people of India have now become sensible enough to decide whats better for them rather going mad over issues like religion and caste and crazy stupid stuffs like that.
