Moi

I finally managed to switch on GPRS in my phone. That enabled me to transfer all the photos lying around in my phone. That got me thinking. How can i make more people stay away from my blog?? Elementary! Show them my ugly mug!! So here it is. Click on my profile and see it. Be afwaid! Be vewy vewy afwaid! I hope you have some medication ready! And add to that the eerie noose on the top right hand corner will add just the right dosage of psycho to my blog!
Read the warning label carefully! It may sound funny but it is quite right!

The thing about porn

Yes,yes..you read the heading right. We are talking about porn. Its is the p word. Before I get into telling you people,my readers (Why?? Why do you waste your time on drivel?? Its a complete mystery to me.) about the occasional wonderment of sorts I have had on this subject matter, I think it would be best for me to recount a funny anecdote. The joke , I assure you is on me in this misadventure of sorts.I was in college in Bangalore around 4 years ago ( it is quite hard to believe so much time has passed already) ,attending my second year in M S Ramaiah College. We used to have a cd parlour near our hostel from where we used to regularly rent out films. You see,studying is something that i did the least in college. Ah,those were the days. Anyway,one of those days,late at night me and 2 other friends of mine,namely Rohan and Aditya had gone to the cd parlour to return and take more films to watch.While we were going through the catlogues,a guy walked in and stealthily took out a couple of unmarked cds and quickly handed it over to the guy at the counter. Scientists have determined that was the exact moment my brain shut down entirely and I became el stupido. It was my moment to put my foot in my mouth-which if I may add I did so with a certain panache. I quickly asked the man at the counter in a high pitched excited voice-"Excuse me, are you renting out software cds too??" Silence, all i could hear was silence for what felt like eternity while the stupidity of the comment I had made sunk in. Of course it wasnt software,it was porn which if i may confess I had rented from there too. The rest is quite obvious from then on. Everyone inside that shop were laughing at me. And it burned,it burned like hell! And look! I am such a glutton for punishment that I am posting this humiliating incident on my blog!
Well,if you have quite finshed laughing at me then I shall talk about what I had actually had planned on talking about. Can it be so that pornography is a male phenomenon?? That can't be correct. I think I need to explain what I said. I was wondering that up until now I have not met any woman who actually admits to enjoying watching porn. While I may have encountered women who have watched porn films now and then ,but I am yet to encounter someone who actually keeps porn or collects them.Is it a prudishness on their part?This question popped into my head the other day when in my college a batchmate was very pissed cause she found that her friend had stored porn in her computer.Hearing her rant about how she feels very strongly against storing porn got me thinking.I realized that i had not heard any girl enthusiastically admit to enjoy watching porn(at least not first hand) leave alone collecting it. I know it is a moot point but I would like to hear your opinion about this. One other thing though, this observation of sorts is based on very limited interaction with women, since you know how popular I am, so I can't really take this as a well sampled observation.That is why I need your input in this matter. The typical Indian middle class psyche also could be one of the factors.Most girls in the middle class encounter porn through their boyfriends rather than friends and it becomes their only source. So the only time they get to see porn is when some guy is trying to get them into bed or something of that sort. Or could it be that most girls enjoy this freedom of deniability that they have in this matter wherein they can blame it on their boyfriends? "Its not my fault,its his! He is the one with the dirty mind and hands in his pants! Blame him!" Your thoughts??

P.S.- You may notice that the font from this post onwards is bigger,it is because of the fact that a friend of mine complained that it was too small to read comfortably. Well I am just too lazy to change the font sizes in all my posts.
