Against the announcement of this blog site I received a response from Bhasker which I quote here:
Great idea to interface on a blogshere!
Just one point: when u say this is a family space, what censorship are u hinting at apart from, ofcourse, no porn stuff?! It's sometimes difficult to pinpoint where ones plain sensibilities may become other's point of hurt, this I have experienced with my own close buddies like Chandi and Ranjan where my own non conventional use of words to tell the truth is lost in the mire inappropriateness of the lingo as perceived by the receivers!! After all to each one his own value system of right and wrong, my saying things upfront could be perhaps misconstrued as making terrible passes at the proper society!!
Your two bits on this please before I start jotting my mindless thoughts
Cheers..
My response to this is - NO THERE IS NO CENSORSHIP here only SENSORSHIP.
The other day I was with Hemkant Joshi (Our respective wives were on tour and we were celebrating the freedom) and the latest issue (at that time)- the assault on girls in a pub in Mangalore came up and the discussion drifted to whether there should be any LIMITS at all. If it is a free world and men and women are free to choose what to wear or not wear, can this freedom be extended to roaming around nude? If not, then what should be the limit (for example, should the skirt or shorts - worn by women or men, be at least 6 inches long)?
Of course, there was no answer. Except, after 3 pegs each, when Joshi came down to see me off, he commented "If it is a complete stranger, shorter the skirt better it is"
So, here we are, with our morality and SENSORSHIP. Any comments?
