Oh it seems to me this whole world's gone crazy
There's too much hate and killing going on
When I see the bare chest of a woman
My worries and my problems are all gone.

"Under the ancient Hindu law, a concubine had to be given maintenance and if the partner died a part of the estate had to be given to her. Now the position of the women in live-in relationships is equal to that of a concubine, is it not?" says Susila Devi, senior advocate of criminal and family matters and former chairman of Andhra Pradesh Mahila Commission.

Read this on the TOI feature regarding the law protecting a woman in a live-in relation ship, asking the man who decided to walkaway to pay her compensation! Well, the law itself is making this relationship gravitate towards an age-old existing practice - called ‘Concubinery’! Irrespective of the fact that, the woman herself chose to enter the relationship and live with the man, to test out for a period - the compatibility et al, in totum (No one seems to care these days as to whom you slept with before, as long as you dont carry HIV/STD, I guess, but thats for a different post)!

I am a member of second like, but am yet to get active on that! Buying Linden $s is going to cost me real $s ..so am holding off for now! Read the below from DNA, atrocities even on second life, it seems !!! There is no longer a place which can be considered safe, I guess!

Is virtual rape really a crime?


When Linden Research, a software firm in San Francisco, created Second Life in 2003, it was hailed as the perfect sign of our times ? an online avenue for millions of people to lead anonymous lives just as they would want in real-life fantasies.

Second Life has its own economy, its own currency and transactions, and its own lifestyles, complete with friends, spouses and partners. Two countries ? the Maldives and Sweden ? have even set up virtual embassies online.

Of late, though, Second Life has been at the centre of controversies spurred by the sexual behaviour of its residents. Last month, Germany launched an investigation into an incident where an animated child character was seen engaging in a sexual act with an adult character.

Earlier this year, Belgian police investigated the alleged rape of a virtual character by another Second Life 'resident'. While web watchers dismiss this as nothing more than digital fiction, a Washington Post report on Saturday has again stirred up the debate whether online worlds need law-enforcement agencies just like in real life.

Music along with an orgasm Read this somewhere ..and posting it here. Very innovative :))

A British sex toy shop’s ad campaign for a vibrating iPod peripheral has drawn ire of Apple Inc. The vibrating sex toy accessory for the iPod appears to have got Apple’s legal team all hot and steamy.

According to a British Tabloid reports, adult store Ann Summers, the seller of “iGasm,” has been threatened by Apple with legal action over its advertising posters.

Mind you, it is not the `i prefixed name that has bugged Apple, it’s mainly the posters they do not like. Those seemingly demean the iconic music player and that has got Apple’s goat.

The sex toys shop chain recently began marketing the iGasm, which is an egg-shaped device that plugs into the Apple iPod and vibrates at different speeds depending on the volume of the music. The $60 device comes with “two silicone ticklers,” as well as a splitter that allows the user to plug in earphones and listen to music at the same time.

“Go at it hard and fast with a pounding drum and bass track or chill with the ambient classic,” reads a marketing brief for the $72 iGasm, which plugs into any music player and vibrates in sync with the beat.

Apple complains that the iGasm ads are a rip-off of its own iPod ads. The iGasm ad features a young woman in her underclothes with her arms crossed over her head, holding her iPod. Out of the player come two sets of wires, one going to her earphones and the other disappearing into her panties, where it presumably is attached to the iGasm.

“We hope this request to remove it [the ads] immediately will prevent us having to consider further action,” the tabloid quoted a legal letter sent by Apple’s lawyers as saying.

Incidentally, this is not the first time that Apple has had a run-in with iPod sex toy makers. Last November, it was reported that Apple scuttled a Japanese company’s attempts to launch a device called gPod. Apple said the gPod, which has features similar to the iGasm, infringed on its “pod” trademarks.

Read this on DC:

One of the world's most prestigious health journals has lashed a fast-growing trend in the United States and Britain for "designer vaginas," the tabloid term for cosmetic surgery to the female genitalia. The fashion is being driven by commercial and media pressures that exploit women’s insecurities and is fraught with unknowns, including a risk to sexual arousal, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) says.
Known as elective genitoplasty, the surgery usually entails shortening or changing the shape of the outer lips, or labia, but may also include reduction in the hood of skin covering the clitoris or shortening the vagina itself.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that the practice is spreading fast in the United States as well as in Britain, but the picture is unclear, the BMJ says.  Not only is there a disturbing lack of data about the phenomenon, there has been negligible assessment about surgical after-effects — and almost zero reflexion as to whether a labial "problem" exists in the first place, the BMJ says angrily.

In 2004-5, 800 "labial reductions" were conducted by Britain's state-run National Health Service (NHS), more than a doubling of the figure of six years earlier. Other operations were carried out by the private sector, although the full figures are unknown.  The authors of the article, London gynaecologist Sarah Creighton and clinical psychologist Lih Mei Liao, conducted their own small-scale probe into why women sought this surgery.

"Our patients sometimes cited restrictions on lifestyle as reasons for their decision," they say.  "These restrictions included inability to wear tight clothing, go to the beach, take communal showers or ride a bicycle comfortably, or avoidance of some sexual practices.  "Men, however, do not usually want the size of their genitals reduced for such reasons. Furthermore, they find alternative solutions for any discomfort arising from rubbing or chaffing of the genitals."  Patients who sought genitoplasty "uniformly" wanted their vulvas to be flat and with no protrusion, similar to the prepubescent look of girls in Western fashion ads, they found.

"Not unlike presenting for a haircut at a salon, women often brought along images to illustrate the desired appearance," say Creighton and Liao. "The illustrations, usually from advertisements or pornography, are always selective and possibly digitally altered."  Plastic surgery to the labia carries risks, for this zone carries nerve fibres that are highly sensitive and are a key pathway of sexual arousal, the article warns sternly.  "Incision to any part of the genitalia could compromise sensitivity," it says.

The BMJ piece suggests genitoplasty is a classic example of where commercial, media and social pressures artificially create a problem, fuel concern over it and then put foward a solution for it.  "There is nothing unusual about protrusion of the labia," it says.  "It is the negative meaning that makes it into a problem ? meanings that can give rise to physical, emotional and behavioural reactions, such as discomfort, self-disgust, perhaps avoidance of some activities and a desire for a surgical fix."

Now, where does this stop ?

“And what is good, Phædrus,
And what is not good…
Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?”

What is Quality in thought and education ??
And: “I think there is such a thing as Quality, but that as soon as you try to define it, something goes haywire. You can’t do it.”

So, thats how Phaedrus approaches the whole concept of quality.
He goes on “Quality is a characteristic of thought and statement that is recognized by a nonthinking process. Because definitions are a product of rigid, formal thinking, quality cannot be defined.”

How do you define Quality ????

How does one define the happiness quotient in one’s marriage ?? The major difference in the Indian and Western lifestyles is the elasticity of relationships, w.r.t marriage. I know everything cannot be quantified, and the topic that I am dealing with is highly qualitative and subjective in nature. Still, being at that stage of my life, I always ponder - how does one define the happiness quotient in a marriage.
I was replying to backfoot’s note on this topic: http://backfoot.rediffiland.com/scripts/xanadu_diary_view.php?postId=1176021318
Now, when one is happily married, why would one seek friendship- whatever friendship it is - either for the intellectual dialogue, or the illicit physical needs. And the fact that one is looking for such companionship, does it in itself an indicator that it is no longer a ‘happy marriage’??
I think that it has more to do with the unedning human ability to be able to love more than one person! (Well, on the humourous side, Gandhi did say, love everyone, equally and I qualify it by saying, love everyone, equally, inspite of your wife/husband)

Too many questions!!

Any thoughts on this one ???

And with it, D.C comes alive! The Cherry Blossoms are some of the best, for the 2 first weeks of April. The cold weather is all gone, all the sweaters, heavy jackets and scarfs have long been dry-cleaned and vacuum-packed to the basements. Tourists are now swarming around the D.C downtown, the monuments and the museums! Tourists - I just feel like being one and getting out to the ol Europe, one day. (Every Dog WILL gets its day, waiting for mine).
The best part of the D.C Downtown is the ’spring’ dressing that you can see around. Esp girls, you can see some wonderful skirts, mini-skirts, mini-er skirts ..well you get the drift! And the tops that reveal more than they conceal! Its Joy all around ..pure Joy. Especially with a big GW campus in the downtown area, its all a stream of color, all the day! And there are some vantage coffee shops around the campus, and you wont even know how time flies!

Welcome to Spring!
D.C’s best part of the year!
