If i\'m not wrong, is this board about Flirting? And i am also at loss for words whether Annie is actually angry or happy with the notion of people flirting around. Because, firstly ppl have not \"started to flirt\". It has been going around from every-since Man started having a family with a sexy sister-in-law. Look, let us get this right. We should stop acting as if the Indian culture is the purest on this planet and claim that rotten Western Civilisation responsible for every ill we face these days. Now coming back to flirting. Any social scientist will tell you that this social phenomenon has been going around for years. Flirting is an art of charming the opposite sex for the sole purpose of pleasure. I would have used the word \"seduce\" but that would make the sentence more \"Westernised\". Flirting need not necessarily end up with sex. what the heck is wrong with talking to a member of the opposite sex in a charming fashion??? Is a casual chat with a female deemed as anti-social or anti-indian! But what surprises me further is this archiac logic that flirtng is a Western concept. Just because you find, for the first time, some one do it, that doesn\'t mean he invented this art of flirting! We take pride in calling our indian civilisation as one of the oldest. In all these 5000 years don\'t tell me that it never struck any husband to find a woman other than his wife attractive!! In all these 5000 years don\'t tell me that our language never had any conversation between a couple (young or old) which tilted to the erotic!! In all these 5000 years, don\'t tell me that a guy called Robert Murdoch showed the ENTIRE Indian commuinty ALL the evils of the West!! The same argument goes for taboo topics like teenage pregnancies and homosexuality. We just nod our heads and say that, in all these 5000 years our culture wass the purest and no 2 ppl of the same sex indulged in any intercourse! Come on, now!!!!! Grow up, ppl!! why are we living in this world of lies ?? why do buffonish organisations like the RSS and the VHP, stand as testimony for the whole Indian community?? Just b\'cos we have are shocked to hear about such activities, why should we blame others and state that our lifestyle is the cleanest and had it not been for the West, we would continue with our pure living?? Think, people, THINK!!!!!
