thinkin aoud

I keep on hearing on all tabloids ..megazines and TV how girls are out to "prove themselves" and make their parents proud. A very laudible thing on the face value of it. Most of it come sfrom wanna be starlets with loads of attitude ..confidance ..and most of the times without a shred of cloth. Now dont get me wrong I love women without those stupid coverings ..! I mean just think of it if we were a burkha country like Sauidi arabia..!I wud commit suicide out of morbid deprsession. But How come i never hear these words out of women who are "actually" doin some thing. How come i never hear it out of women who have actually broken thru and are doin work that makes a difference...? How come Medha Patkar , Sonia Gandhi or maybe the president of Pepsico never made their parents proud? Or maybe they are too busy workin to give out sound bytes.
I feel strongly that women who make such statements are either beauty queens or South bound actressess whose defination of success is so well defined and narrow as to be limited to a music video or winning some logic defying pagent . I dont kno weather the real freedom lies in live in relationships, binge parties or smokin or sumthing else. Maybe i m just a small town conservative guy ...But i think there is sumthing amiss here. yes that is also freedom ..and maybe things are a'changin. Me nor anyone else has the right to dictate anyone elses life. Nor am i saying that things were goldined in the past . Waht i think is that somewhre we got it wrong..not in the total picture but some wee part of picture.
Infidelity or Sexual freedom is not a western concept ...Its a human concept. And its great that we are becoming mature with that. But i doubt weather sleeping around is the concept of sexual freedom. A woman or for that matter a man is not only a sexual animal..but sex plays an important role in life and relationships. A mature human being will never use sex as a plaything..or casually. Its a fun thing but done responsibly. One cant forget that we cant hide the casual attitude in our defination of the word freedom.
If u look around , things are lookin back at us with the results with the so called freedom without responsibility. Parents will never be proud of us if we abuse our freedom . Or maybe the new age ones dont care. Its perhaps a way of joinin the band if you cant beat them.
Thre is no collective "loss of values" or maybe i dont see it. Its perhaps something to do with the fact that sex is the shortcut to success for most women in field of glamour and perhaps nowadays success is the only thing that counts. I just hope they tell it like it is and not make it a groundbreakin statement out of that. I mean everyone knows that what everyone else is doin. Lets keep our bedrooms shut and our minds open
