London observations...
It has been a few warm days here since I have arrived... Since I am not doing the usual touristy rounds I am enjoying being the observer.
I am staying in Central London where all the rich Arabs live. Spending money like water- I see them do it!!
Since the sun is out- it has been for the last few days in a row, unusually- all the Londoners are out lazing in the sun on any green patch available.. They are gulping in the sun!! Nice to see sandwiches and beer/lemonade, hats and sandals et al.
The sun also increases the serotonin intake so all are happier and the couples are even happier! Romance is in the air.
Ah, ouch, what do I see... Have you ever had an ugly sore? Sores stick out and they make you grimace! Well that is how I find Indian couples ( born and growing in India) trying to imitate the westerners.. They cant even get a kiss right!!
I saw a paunchy man trying to get on top of his wife ( Regent's Park). He was trying to kiss her and she was moving her head away.. God, it reminded me of cheap Indian porn!!
Yet another were trying to cuddle right outside the St.Paul's cathedral..
Now I am not against all this but it is just that when Indians try to do, it is gross. Hey I believe in 'practice makes it perfect' ! Well we hardly get to practice it to perfection back in India- what with living in joint families, over crowded beaches, cops chasing us out from parks and behind the vanishing trees! Anything to do with sex, be it mere kissing or hugging is alien to us virtuous Indians ! Is it not? After all we bash up shops on Valentine's day? Kamasutra... Oh did we even have a Vatsyayana? We have children sleeping on the same bed with us till they marry !!
So my sympathies do lie with you.. But at least get the kiss right!!!!
