It is true that movies create and promote cultural stereotypes and guess who got me thinking about this – Hillary Clinton! Sounds weird, doesn’t it? Well, I was just going through an article in a newspaper about Hilary Clinton’s interactive session with some Indian university students and one of her comments simply struck a chord with me. She spoke about how we (Indians and Americans) imbibe ideas about each other’s cultures from the movies we see. An American hooked on to Bollywood flicks would think that all Indian women are congenitally dolled up and melodramatic and that an average Indian’s life ends on a fairytale note. Indians on the other hand, watch Hollywood movies think that life in the west is all about action and fights.
According to Hillary, American movies and television give out the impression that Americans “don’t wear clothes”! I found that bit hilarious but come to think of it, it’s quite true isn’t it? I mean, look at the way foreign tourists (females in particular) are treated when they visit a small city in India. A certain lot of loathsome males who get their dose of eroticism from porn flicks probably view every westerner as a sex object, For them, goris are all about skimpy clothes, “free” nature (as they like to call it) and skin show which is why they think nothing of groping and pawing unassuming tourists! Even in Hindi movies, foreign chicks are often seen gyrating in bikinis. Doesn’t that contribute to the stereotype? I know I deviated from the topic but this is one of the many issues that get on my nerves.
Hillary was right when she said that there should be more cultural exchange programs between the two nations. With globalization reaching new heights and more and more Indians settling in the US, this step would certainly go a long way.
Why are single women labeled as “gold-diggers”? I always seem to have this ceaseless argument with most of my male friends who insist that women check out a guy’s bank balance before they tie the knot. I don’t think it is entirely true. I mean, nowadays women are so independent and most earn plumper paychecks than their male counterparts. Times are fast changing and I, for one, do not need a man to sponsor my shopping or pay my bills. But there are many independent women like me who still crave for financial security from their men.
I guess women are somehow genetically conditioned that way – back in days of the cavemen women sought men who were strong and brave enough to hunt and protect the family. Now that we live in materialistic times, money is the only thing that makes the world go round! There can be many angles to this, one of them being that many women plan to pursue careers for a few years and then retire into domestic life and motherhood. It is only natural for such women to hunt for a man with a flourishing bank balance. Again, it all comes back to the “provider” (man) versus “nurturer” (woman) tendencies that our genes and society have grilled into us over the centuries. I wonder if that will ever change.
Ironic as it is, a lady called Lisa Johnson Mandell, a US based dating guru and author of “How To Snare a Millionaire”, recently held a talk on the same subject in Hong-Kong. One would think that modern women are way above things like this but I was flabbergasted to know that hundreds of women had forked out $400 to attend that talk! It somewhat reminds me of Jane Austen’s books where the heroines’ sole purpose in life would be to look pretty and well, snare a millionaire!
Boy am I glad to be living where I am right now! As the world already knows, there has been some hardcore cosmic action in India on 22nd July 2009. The news has causes so much furor that people have been flocking to faraway cities like Varanasi and Ahmadabad to witness the longest total solar eclipse in centuries. What makes it more fascinating is that a phenomenon of this magnitude is not expected to take place until 2132!
Incidentally (and very very fortunately) I was in Baroda for a family function at the time of the solar eclipse. I was expecting a lot of people hanging on to their window sills and spilling out on the streets but I was surprised to see that people here are willing to do much more than that!
Cox and Kings, a travel firm, had chartered a special flight (a Boeing 737-700 aircraft) especially routed to allow enthusiasts to view the eclipse from a height of 41,000 feet. Can you believe that? People have actually shelled out big bucks (almost four times the original price) for a “sun-side” seat on the plane. Turns out that the probability of witnessing a complete eclipse from the ground is about 40% while from up there in the air it is 90%!
Though a solar eclipse is just a natural phenomenon, it is viewed with great awe in Indian mythology and superstition. If the news channels are anything to go by, people have been conducting havans at their homes to keep evil forces at bay and to-be-mothers have been postponing their delivery dates just so that their child does not have to carry the “born-on-an-eclipse-day” tag. Bizarre but true!
As for me, I waited in the balcony with a piece of X-ray film but the cloudy sky spoiled the show. Guess will have to wait for another lifetime to see a complete solar eclipse.
When Kareena Kapoor shot to fame for her size-zero figure, a certain somebody made headlines too– it was her nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar. While her client was busy strutting around in bikinis and skimpiness, the lady wasted no time in penning down a book while the sun was still shining. Good decision on her part because her book titled ‘Don’t Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight’ became one of the most sought after self-improvement books of the year. So when a friend gifted me a copy last week, my initial reaction was a ‘blah’. I mean, our media does hype up practically everything and in the end, it’s all about the money – only about the money. Not that I’m a big fan of being skinny (but I do strongly believe in fitness and good health), I did flip through the pages of the book and what I read changed my perspective on food and nutrition altogether. The lady does bust a bevy of myths about dieting and ‘health foods’ . If her words are anything to go by (which I’m sure they are), we’ve been getting it all wrong all this while! Did you know that it’s not advisable to eat fruits after a mealor that artificial sweeteners can actually make you gain weight? Did you know that a wholesome meal of dal, roti, subji is more likely to tip the scales in your favor than a bowl of salad and soup?
The best part about the book is that it has been written keeping the Indian diet, genetics and lifestyle in mind which means that there is nothing unrealistic or “out-of-reach” about it. A self-confessed fitness freak that I am, I couldn’t have found a better source of information than this book (mu husband is hooked onto it too!)
The take-home message? Maintaining a healthy, ideal weight is never about fad diets or crazy workout routines – rather, it is all about making better food choices and changing your lifestyle for the better.
I am not much of a book-review person but I do recommend a copy for every household.
Every woman worth her hormones vies for a happy married life and a wonderful family. Though I can’t be grateful enough for the worderful family I am blessed with, who doesn’t want the best of both worlds? When I hear Aditi and Sonia talk about their jobs and careers, I can’t help but wonder what it feels like to be an independent working woman (I have been there before but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to pull it off again). I sometimes envy Sonia for all the fun she has being a singleton and I admire Aditi for the way she juggles home and career and still finds time for herself. Motherhood changes everything - my life completely revolves around my two wonderful daughters now. I feel like a sacrificial lamb every now and then but that is not to say that I don’t enjoying being a full-time mom.
Right now I am torn between the idea of venturing on a new career path and being there for my children at a time when they need me the most. Well, times are now rapidly changing and much to the relief of millions of moms like me all over the world, there are a multitude of work-from-home career choices available. I kinda like the whole idea of being my own boss and having full control over my work schedule.
Since I am an ace in math, I have been toying with options like book-keeping, accounting, online tuitions and data processing. At a later stage, when the kids are grown-up enough, I could put my chartered accountant certification to good use and set up a home-based consultancy but that’s still a faraway possibility.
My birthday just went by and how it made me wish that I had someone to pamper and spoil me silly on my special day – a swank entrepreneur surprising me with a solitaire or a guy-next-door laying out a candle-lit dinner on a starry night. That’s too much to ask for in this big, bad world of singledom isn’t it?
A girl’s gotta fight for her share of fun and guess what folks, I did just that this year! Luckily for me, my birthday was over a weekend (after years). My gal pals from work took me out on a day-long shopping, wining and dining spree at SoHo – my favorite hot-spot in NY. There couldn’t have been a better birthday plan that this. Gawd, how I love that place – the high fashion, the spirit of the people, stuff that would give you enough reasons to rob a bank and the gourmandizing. They threw me a girly sleepover party on Saturday might with lotsa soppy romantic movies, gossip and you know, the usual stuff. We went pub-hopping and guy-hunting on Sunday like wild chicks on the loose. I was hoping for a birthday gift from Cupid but the little fella dodged me yet again! When I told Adi and Neha about it, they totally freaked out. I don’t blame them for it though. Matrimony does tame women down a bit. Let me enjoy my wild days while they last!
But you know what? I wouldn’t really mind having a nice husband or a partner wake me up with a birthday kiss and have my kids sing “Happy Birthday Mamma” to me. Sigh, guess I will have to make do with wild chicks and random guys as for now. Why is the grass always greener on the other side?
In case any of you plan to drop by for my birthday bash next year, here’s my wish list (in order of preference andgood humor of course):
-A * A giant solitaire from Tiffany (preferably wider than my thumb)
-A* An unlimited gift card forBath and Body Works or Victoria’s Secret
-A * A Macbook Air
-B * Bags and shoes (can anyone ever go wrong with those?)
-A* And before you brand me materialistic or shallow, a cute hand-made greeting card.
The infamous phrase “Love is Blind” is facing a trial next week. Two couples narmally a male and a female misunderstood the concept of these phrase and landed in a jail.
