The actions louder ...Actions speak more than words! The actions louder and clearer and put the point across well!!<BR/><BR/>About PDA, I dont see any problem with it as long as it is within the limits(and again limits vary). A lot of things like perceptions, stereotypes, education, experiences all influence alva?Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564026172964014740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24508074.post-41467197089363036922007-07-20T06:39:00.000-07:002007-07-20T06:39:00.000-07:00"Ati sarvatra varjayeet" - To eliminate exess in e..."Ati sarvatra varjayeet" - To eliminate exess in everything - is in itself an everlasting struggle for people, civilizations and their belief systems. What I saw in Blore, last time I visited, was excessive PDA for its coolness factor. It was the coolness quotient that irked me. Also, a need for unbridled non-introspected 'liberation' and no inhibition. Although, I believe there is nothing wrong with PDA, I feel everyone has their very own PDA threshold. Older generations might see PDA as utter superficiality and the younger ones as a rightful expression of love. But it is NOBODY;s business to enforce norms that prevent girls n boys from holding hands! <BR/><BR/>Expression of love is multi-facetted. It is odd when one component gets more attention than others, like PDA. It is all about treading the middles - of balance. Hope we as a younger generation find our middles. <BR/><BR/>Also, liked your argument about why PDA is being targetted when there are other more pertinent issues like - urination in public!
