Let’s talk to Mallika Sherawat’s Breasts

Re: # 10

This is interesting. The same logic applies to why its ok for little girls to wear blue pants and a shirt but unimaginable for little boys to wear a pink dress. I think its because we are all a product of male sustenance. Women can be good enough to be male. It is progress, but men can`t stoop low to be women, that`s backward and shamefully funny.

Farzana, I wonder why people point to your honesty of thought - because this is how we think, with freedom of thought movement, and a basic connection - as ``shooting arrows in all directions.`` It is the most truthful people, who are most creative. We`ve become so used to structures. I detest artificial boundaries on natural writing of a brilliant mind.

Anyone who has gone though breast-feeding knows how frustratingly misplaced fascination with breasts is. Might as well cut them off and serve them on a platter for disgruntled and frustrated men. Real slap in the face for objectification.

Beauty is complete when painted on a static canvas of changing reality, when looked at holisticaly, not in isolation.

Dear Farzana,
When thousands of female foetuses are aborted before even they reach the age of viablilty,when thousands of brides are burnt because of inadequate dowry,when still girls are served food after the boys have eaten,when girls are not sent to school(they will babysit the younger brother),those who complete schooling are not sent to college (it is too far...),when still in the matters related to marriage,a vast majority of girls are not even asked what their choice is....,how relevent it is to ``talk to Mallika Sheravat`s breasts``...?

Aanchal Mein Kya Jee?

Hot air. For all the on-street experience you claim, your articles on current affairs dont seem to reflect that. They read like a term-paper written by a person in Gender Studies class, all that person had to do was read newspapers and magazines. While it may get a well-deserved A for a well-written piece, for readers like us it gives little other than a Ghissa-Pitta perspective on current events.

Us admirers deserve better based on your street-on-the-feet experience.

Farzana you started with Mallika but deviated to Erin Brockovich & Paula Jones. Would have been better if the focus had been on the changing attitudes in India instead of US where it is passe. Why only Mallika, what about the increasing number of item number girls that are cropping up all over the place. I remember seeing this interview on the Shekhar Suman show where the lady was taking about a dance show she did in a small town and was approached by a married woman after the show who told her ``aap nay humko hott kar diya``. Ab tum mano Yana mano.
And for the admirers of Linda Lovelace, as it turns out, she was threatened, raped and forced to do all those movies. So while she made countless men happy, her own life was more like a horror movie.

re: this article
Normally i do not like to interact at the forum that has this writer as the author, but this sentence was too good to pass by without a comment:
(And unlike the Aishwariya Rais who simper and giggle, most of these girls can talk cogently and make their point clearly. If you look at their sensational quotes, you might find some truth in what they are saying.)
So, what is this author`s problem?
Aishwarya Rai is now the stuff that dreams are made of. Her interview on CBS showed her to be both vocal and intelligent. Just as in the old days, Helen of Troy`s fame helped sail a thousand ships, Aishwarya Rai`s famed beauty has resulted in more than a 1000 websites solely dedicated to her by her fans.

One can read her interview on CBS by going to this Url:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/12/29/60minutes/main663862.shtml
BTW, this woman etched her place in history when her staute was unveiled in Madame Tussaud`s. http://www.expressevents.com/tussauds/

Mallika Sherawat has got only her boobs to show. I have seen one of her movies and that is all she got. Aishwarya Rai`s role was noted in Chowker Bali. Her recent film Raincoat (also set in the backdrop of calcutta) is being noted for her good performance.
A good actor evolves with time. This is what Ms Rai is doing. Actors like Sherawat go downhill. As i said before, they have little else to show.

(As for Mallika’s comment, let me ask you: Do you know of any woman who has got silicon implants to help in research or because she wants to be a well-padded mamma to her nursing infant? I don’t.)
Cheap mindset begets cheap talk. With peanut sized brains, it is not surprising she makes such cheap statements. She has shown that she can only wallow in jealousy and self-pity.

You are an idiot.
This author has no class. That is why she seeks to shock by cheap innuendos. I have not yet read even one article by her that i can truly say was classy. If anyone differs with me, please post the relevant article and let us discuss that.

Farzana, I`m not sure of the stats in India, but in both Australia and the US, breast reduction surgeries are more common. Often the health service will pay for these if someone has really large breasts(sorry for indelicacy) and severe pain in the neck and back, so it may not come under purely cosmetic surgery.

ann coulter ?......... are you serious?....... she is my kind of right wing babe - talks a little too much, is a little too skinny and not enough cleveage .......... but even she has used her rather hungry looks to great advantage and has done more for the republican cause than bob novak and bill krystol put together ...........but i am still mystified by dr ruth ..........

does anyone know why the nipple has erectile tissue?

here is something for entertainment (please delete if the ascii art doesnt show up) properly
I got this on email.

hamidm2,

Ann Coulter ?

obsessed with newswomen .............

............. i had no idea who mallika was so i googled her ....... she is fine and has my permission to use her assets any which way she pleases .........

............ i think women, and men, should be allowed to use whatever they have to get ahead in life as long as they don`t break the law (man`s law - god`s law is just too confusing) ............ women in the corporate world do it all the time, as do the bimbos on fox tv ............ did anyone notice how they have moved from behind the desk to expose leg and thigh ?............ and what`s with the glossy lipstick ?.......i love it!..........when laurie dhue says that all is well in iraq, i believe her; when page hopkins says that john kerry is a traitor, i believe her; and i don`t care what susan van susteren says, she is a liar regardless of the new nose and hair ............. of course, at my age, paula zahn and diane sawyer still trump these breasts-come-lately ............ i love brains with breasts - it is a strange obsession ........

hamidm2:

36C..... would you say good for a pearl necklaces too?

....... for some reason i thought i should have something to say about this - having been a lifelong connoisseur of fine breasts - but other than the fact that 36C is just about right, i really don`t have much else to say .......

....... but i would also like to thank dow chemicals for inventing the silicone implant - it is the best thing that happened to women since suffrage ..........

i guess mallika shearawats breasts are not that big..as someone would say, only 35 replies.

I don’t understand how the title is misleading…the lady says men talk to her breasts, so by saying “let’s talk…” I was trying to indulge in a dialogue that would take us to what the body conveys and how women project it and are rewarded/punished for it.

[Regarding Paula Jones, I dont think Men will buy Penthouse for an over-the-hill PJones. Their idea of solitary entertainment is facilitated by nubile east european women. I didnt read that issue (or even see it) but I`d suspect Phouse hoped to get publicity via Paula`s clinton connection. Again I dont see the problem with her Phouse appearance (for the money).]

The point is not about men, but about her making that decision and realising her role as a single mother. Strange that an over-the-hill Clinton can sell a book that shamelessly declares, “I did because I could”.

Sure, there are thousands of women who make an honest buck by posing nude, but people like Paula have to live with the baggage; people do not question those other women about their moral position.

[Headlights? I just fell off my chair laughing!]

It seems like you had a jolly good conversation…

#31 by halur:

[Not sure what the complaint is about. Rich women get away with displays of overt sexuality while their poorer sisters cannot ? Perhaps.

It is all about individual choice. If women express this with strapless low cut gowns, generous displays of cleavage , who are we to complain?]

What individual choices are you talking about when you agree that rich women get away with much more? (It isn’t merely the rich; it is about power and legitimisation by a segment of people.)

There is no complaint about people revealing; in fact, I have said that if they need to use it, then they ought to.

#32 by jang:

[this is how it starts, you try to control female sexuality, the natural end is famle genital mutilation (circumcision).]

Such a sweeping statement…what is the context?

- - -
#18 by nb:

[It`s interesting that in shows like Extreme Makeover where participants have cosmetic surgery, almost all women opt for implants. Whereas in the general population, women are more likely to have breast reduction procedures!]

In which part of the world is this? This goes contrary to what most cosmetic surgeons say.

Psst…The socialite got married to this industrialist whose primary family business used to be textiles. Don’t know if you were in Mumbai at the time; she is quite young and in the news only in the past few years.

#29 by nazarhayatkhan:

[My only crib is that you make the reader go into some serious thinking and the joy of the text is reduced.]

I guess there are readers and readers…some run away because of the headlights in the headline, others fall off their chairs, and some go into thinking mode. Depends on what one is drinking at the time :)

Personally, I’d much rather that people thought than merely enjoyed.

#21 by bts:

At least when you said ‘shock’, it did not sound like something horrid…but I am not taking any chances! Thank you for saying that you re-examine your reality…I do so too while writing.

Of course, “`the wretch turned out to be a mere woman afterall`” left me with a sense of déjà vu…how often have I heard similar sentiments being expressed about similar ‘disappointments’…

Farzana:

Don`t you think that there few things that are better left to imagination, desire, touch and feelings. What purpose is served analyzing and disecting them with the precision of a surgeon`s knife?
