Pub Culture; What is it?

Recently our honorable woman and welfare minister Ms Renuka Chowdhury has asked to PUB bharo and asked everybody to go to pub. Chief minister of Karnataka and Rajasthan asked to stop pub culture. What is pub culture?

 Let me share my experience on first trip to pub. I was barred to pub(my right to drink alcohol) by the security guards of the pub. I went to pub with a couple of friends most of whom are bellow 25. We were barred to enter the pub. The reason was…. No it was not because we were not 25 but because we were all males and it was a couples day. Anybody without a girlfriend is not allowed. I have seen many other college going students entered the pub. All these thing were happening in the new year eve. So police and media were looking at the incident.  I don’t know who makes all the rule of couple day or whatever. But the unwritten rule is couples are welcome and a others are not.

 Are you a pub-goer? If not then you may misinterpret couple as I did 8 years ago.  Couple need not mean a boy and a girl who are married. It means a group of people of heterogeneous sex with a fair amount of ladies. A woman with 5 men do not make couple where as 3 woman with 5 men do make couple. I believe media was well aware of the facts as media people were roaming around MG Road and a couple from times of India entered into a pub.

   Recently, I have studies A Night at Call Centre, by Chetan Bhagat.As per the book, right to drink does not end at being a couple. Sometimes pub owners define dress code. Any girl who does not show her naval is not allowed inside. And pub owners do it by calling it a members’ day.

  People who go to pub and drink, mostly commute by driving their own car (a few with their bike). And after they are done with pubbing they go back driving. And definitely their alcohol level is way beyond permissible limit. And such driving causes death of innocent people. The murderers either moves freely or gets seven years ail.

  So when the media or government talk about pub, are they may talking about rights to drink? Or they want the adulation of culture and discriminate against special dress code and specific people and promote drunken driving?

 So a person having a girl friend is better posed to go to pub than a loner or a group of boys. A girl who wears thigh length skirt is more eligible than who wears toe length dress. One who wears skimpy dress is more eligible than one who does not. One who shows parts of the body are better of for going to pub? Can anybody explain what culture it is? Is it not an attack on our culture? Why should somebody be dressed specially or been with some girls to enter into pub?

AIDS Awareness or attack on Indian Culture?

I was traveling to my office in Bangalore. Some volunteer stopped me and wanted to know what my ring tone was. I have kept one of the all time odiya best song suna sagadi re   rupa kaniya. When I wanted to know the reason behind it, I heard they are promoting safe sex and providing surprise gifts for the people who have condom condom .., as their ring tone. You may have found many such spending of money to prevent AIDS and promote safe sex.  Do they promote AIDS awareness or attack our culture covertly?

 

   To me, AIDS is not a big threat as it is not contagious.  I don’t need to worry about it, as long I am honest with my wife. Virtually it won’t spread if people will only have sexual relationship with their wife/husband.

 

 I understand all the people might not think to have only one relationship. And they may be victim of the AIDS. However most of the Indians believe and practice only one relationship and are safe from AIDS. One who wants to prevent AIDS can go for advertising be faithful to your partner and prevent AIDS. It matches our culture, tradition education etc. We can promote our culture and prevent AIDS and tell people about the law on adultery at the same time. However they don’t so. Covertly they are promoting to have multiple sexual relationships and look beyond ones wife/husband.

 

 

  I told the same to the volunteer who checked my caller tune. He said they are advertising to prevent AIDS both for people the people who have sex with their partner and those who have pre-marital or extra-marital relationship. People who might have done adultery because of age, or any other need should not die because of AIDS. I have to agree with him.  No civilized society awards death penalty for adultery.  So they have every right to be alive.

 

 

 I was paused for a minute. And their group leader was approaching me. I have asked her a simple question.  What about the blood donated or injection given to somebody? People might need better awareness to use a fresh one instead of reusing injection syringe.  Or blood needs to be tested before transferring to somebody else. Do you care for them? Wouldn’t it be better to have awareness campaign at hospital than at a crowded road?

 

    If India has millions of AIDS patient then there must be thousands of people dying of AIDS. Where are the figures? How do they have the figure that India has millions of AIDS patient?  She did not have answers to any and promised to get back to me. In case we have millions of patients why can’t we promote our value and culture to prevent it? Why don’t we say it can’t we prevent it by using proper syringes, blood etc at hospital?

Why do we need to promote the so called safe (adultery??) sex and condom? It is coveted attack on our culture and it is a promotion of adultery than prevention of AIDS.
