Re: Popularity of saris soars in Pakistan thanks to Indian TV soaps.
DUDE, I have nothing to say after reading this post…(You sound like my father 20 years ago)…Its just simple, you are comparing the Sati culture and dark ages with today’s world, that’s totally insane. This proves that Pakistan is atleast 20 years behind India in some respects. Believe me, I would agree to all the points you made above, 20 years ago but I guess in India times have changed and I can’t say that abt Pakistan. May be someday, when your daughter would want to sit with you and enjoy watching TV…you will understand. I used to feel weird way back in eighties when condom/Sanitary napkins ads used to pop up during movie breaks with family but things have changed drastically in the last 25 years. Sex education is not a TABOO subject in India atleast. Maybe in Pakistan, in the next 20 years things will change and you will also change. You will also enjoy watching TV with your family, without locking the females in your family up in a room. All, I want to say…Times change, ppl change and the society changes.(check for yourself, do you still live the way your father or grandfather lived…no right, you love to chat with girls, which your father or grandfather would have never thought abt) in the same way your kids will me more mordern/open than you…NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. If you get a chance get a copy of the movie “NAMESAKE”, that shd open your mind a bit !!!
