kiss protest in Gods own country

I was surprised at the news i saw on facebook .

These days lots of discussion is going on about morality and what is acceptable and what is not acceptable . But unlike other soceities where at least definition of morality is more defined we have a peculiar problem . Our newspapers are having frequent stories of "penvanibham " in which many men are involved and many of them involve underaged girls and lots of men . Having lived in metro cities and abroad i couldnt see this level of moral degradation even in those liberal soceities .

Just last week we had a famous musician passing a comment regarding a garment as simple as a jeans in the modern era . The instances are numerous where kerala is trying to be ultraconservative while displaying extreme double standards behind the scenes .

It is in this context that suddenly the frustrated youth is planning to celebrate a kiss day . Maybe its a small shock therapy but its indeed need of the hour . There is endless debate in online forums and tv whether this is in accordance with "indian culture " . But indian culture is more rich and unique if we search the history properly (even a wikipedia search will do ) . And the dearth of proper role models in this era for youth makes it more complicated for them . Should they be following the "morally wrong "western standards (thats what the conservative people say here ) or "morally right" behind the scenes immorality ? Should they be hypocrites or be man enough or woman enough to do what they please as long as they dont create problems for others .

India being the largest democracy and since the year is 2014 (not 17 th or prehistoric era )its high time that people have the freedom to choose what they want as long as they dont disturb others . And before really pointing fingers at youth think in private how moral you are in thought , words and deeds . And clean up the underage exploiters before trying to prevent kisses . Public or private i believe, kiss is essential for survival of the species . Kiss of life included :)
