Desperate Housewives is a show which predoimananetly exhibits the living culture and societies of west and if we comparet the both then its likes we are comparing the exisitence of RAM in US in case they telecast it there both are different countires or rather say world altogether. <BR/><BR/>However the aping is there in india for western clothes their culture and living styles. But that is only at macro level inside we are still very orthodox societies where divorce/sepration is not an easy task or just a pulse reaction. <BR/><BR/>Even if girl belongs to mumbai or other metors though the society might deal softer but the question remains the same? Why did not she ignore him the way he is? What is the guarantee if she finds the next one same to her expectations.<BR/><BR/>I truly agree that happy couples share a lot more than bed but in today's world when double salaries are dominant ppl prefer to watch cinemas on weekend rather sitting and home and have good chat.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-TriptiTriptihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277415249683392831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1121623915016906502005-07-17T23:41:00.000+05:302005-07-17T23:41:00.000+05:30I remember you had posted some stuff about 'selfis...I remember you had posted some stuff about 'selfish ppl' who decide not to have a child. It made me wonder ... that makes USA, UK etc very very selfish countries indeed! And I wonder what you will say if your daughter decides the same some day too.<BR/><BR/>On the same note, it's surprising you haven't called couples who decide to split "selfish".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1121608548848371392005-07-17T19:25:00.000+05:302005-07-17T19:25:00.000+05:30Rashmi,housewives in bombay lack communication wit...Rashmi,<BR/>housewives in bombay lack communication with their spouses one reason could be the time constraint.The fear of expressing or communicating leads them to frustration of their desires .Infact there are so many articles where women say that they always subject themselves to way pleasing to their husbands and thats where the mutual desires are not met and everything is one sided.<BR/>Intimacy may not be fulfilled only by sex.A women needs emotional fulfillment and inorder to get that she may give herself to a man.The lack of emotional fulfillment also leads to chat rooms on the net.At the end of it I think communication between spouses can always put an end to the so called loneliness and desperation.Women in india are totally different from the U.S.A.One can go ahead and compare Bombay to the U.S as whole but not the rest of india because India when penetrated further brings out a lot of cultural and religious truths.The place where i come from that's Mangalore,Divorce is looked upon as a kalank whereas my same community in bombay have a different opinion.But at the end of it no woman/women should subject themselves to an abusive relationship.<BR/>One of the great american evangelist and advisor to many U.S Presidents,Dr Billy Graham once said<BR/>"The family is always the a key to the society " thats where the US fails miserably and India tends to stand strong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1121606214478076682005-07-17T18:46:00.000+05:302005-07-17T18:46:00.000+05:30i think whoever posted that last anonymous comment...i think whoever posted that last anonymous comments lacks guts as well....<BR/>i hope anonymous shows some spine by revealing himself/ herself and showing <BR/><BR/>as for the quality of writing and standard of journalism are concerned i guess anonymous shd know that readers are the ones to judge....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293370071459548153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1121593036682379772005-07-17T15:07:00.000+05:302005-07-17T15:07:00.000+05:30Tough to understand why you are so one-sided in yo...Tough to understand why you are so one-sided in your reviews of either 'desperate housewives' and 'salman khan'. Must be something to do with your journalism background (which I've heard doesn't exist). You might be an IIM A grad (though it is only said, there is no proof), but you still need to undertake a journalism course to learn the art of taking stands. Unlettered comments and illiterate stands do not make the reader an idiot. Please don't consider readers of these blogs as the same. Despite your writing style being good, I don't agree with the anti stand you've ended up taking. It's not right at all Rashmi. Think about it (if you can, even though I suspect you lack that power too)...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1121583057187212052005-07-17T12:20:00.000+05:302005-07-17T12:20:00.000+05:30I think most marriages in India don't end in divor...I think most marriages in India don't end in divorce because its something society still frowns upon, yea people stay for the kids but its also because women would end up in a more adverse position if they filed for divorce. Enforcing alimony payments or actually getting the divorce through isnt possible for every women. Sometimes their own parents dont let them divorce. So, i am not so sure that we Indians have the key to happiness in marriages, i guess its the way our society is that divorce is not really an option.<BR/><BR/>Jatin<BR/>www.twentyonwards.blogs.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1121535372467381802005-07-16T23:06:00.000+05:302005-07-16T23:06:00.000+05:30I'm sure every housewife in suburban america looks...I'm sure every housewife in suburban america looks like she just walked out of a cosmopolitan photo shoot and the police in every county are too busy chasing cats and dogs to worry about murders and crimes being committed right under their nose. <BR/>I used to like the show in the beginning, but now its just turned into another harlequin romance novel with twists and turns no different from any other soap opera whose characters are 5 minutes from leaping onto each other in a sex scene like 14 year olds in high school. <BR/>It reminded me a lot of that novel The Namesake from Jhumpa lahiri and that one is famous in every south asian home. Plus Mira Nair's directing it, i'm sure everyone's going to talk about how many barriers that film/novel broke without ever realizing the irony that its an insult to our ethnicity by a cheapening of our cultural differences by creating cross cultural stereotypes i.e. brown people in a white stereotype (desperate housewives but with indians etc.).Ananghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093712350047601404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1121528998987168252005-07-16T21:19:00.000+05:302005-07-16T21:19:00.000+05:30Interesting post Rashmi!Interesting post Rashmi!Aparna Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358533291130408425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1121520963538073642005-07-16T19:06:00.000+05:302005-07-16T19:06:00.000+05:30desperate housewives... sexy and single at 30...ho...desperate housewives... sexy and single at 30...houseful of nut cases...there is a story everywhere in america, funny or sad, ......just waiting to be told...<BR/>do we not have the stories in us.. why is our idiot box full of some inane shows all the time.... desperate tv audience is what we are...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293370071459548153noreply@blogger.com
