Re: # 6 NKG and NB...Your comments are right. Now due to cultural and sociatal differences I do not want give rating. But now that work is done and you have given rating. I think in India there is too much problem due to watching to many movies, songs and other stuff and liberal degrading attitude and and no puritan view about these things and most of your gods do not have modest dress and most of man gods do not wear any shirts at all.Yes all this abuse problems happens is true in India due to cultural permissiveness of awam of India these things do not happen or only 10% than india.
NKG lots of bad things are going but it is better not to say or ignore this things for many will try to copy it as that happens in west.
Good night and luck for new 2009.

Madani saab, if you had written the first interact and given this article an X rating, I would not have read it. Therefore you are to blame for other people reading it.

Re: # 2 Decency forbids reading and writing such articles so most keep away from such stuff. I do not comment about such articles but you should understand why gentlemen do not read or comment.I do not feel the way things are written in such precison the loss adolescence is decent and should have left many things unsaid and left to speculation of readers.Any way we old people are now throw away stuff as at Lakhani's McDonald and young people are getting wild in writing and in action and it is not considerd cool to tell young people to write about decent stuff and decent way . I feel too much sex content is coming in this social political newespapers, they can write in some "modern" magzines which no decent people buy to read.. Good day and good luck.

I do not comment about this type of articles and reasons are obivious.
Men also suffer when they grow up. Every man feels sad when the voice breaks up and becomes horse and when you sing notes it gives sadness also nice face gets facial hairs and looses nice soft hairs to rough lawn it is loss of paradise.
I thought Mr. PBabu will comment he did not so i do not like this things go unnoticed.At this stage men just drag through and they are not child or man and they appaer stupid and lost. While females appaer best at this stage though they may be little worried about beautiful metamorphism. It is my feeling by watching women they must be feeling sensetivity of world coming alive and taking notice of them. Within short time women reach destiny of they look gorgeous and important and they know their new powers and they enjoy. Women have great appreciation of their beauty and they have patience to give efforts.Men start loosening sense in every respect. People get protective of young females while men are forced to get out and do something. These young ladies look good and important and they carry aura of that change with them , they even talk more mature and people can appreciate and give attention to them. Men are really imature and insecure and they feel bad girls in same age are so admired and you feel they can be great mothers while men act and behave as foolish not worth to be father material.
I am for young people marrying early so there is fun and irresponsiblity and spontenicity.I am against late marriage as its not fun to see matured men and women getting married. At that stage it appaers pathetic when women is 28 and man is 35 and hopefully not balding. When one is young one looks alright even if both are pitch dark , they glow. Now when they marry later even though they are fair they appear pale and worried about future.
Any way Men also goes through of headache of growing up and till man even when he is 35 and married people tell him you need to grow up, heard never such remark made towards women.
Let us hope Mr. P can throw light about this.

This article (I suspect it is a true story) could probably have done with a little editing, but you convey your pain and confusion very well.
So much for our "great culture"; so much for all the desis who like nothing better than to criticise the West, and refuse to accept that sexual abuse happens everywhere, but especially where society pretends it is non-existent.
