Today on CNNIBN in one of their surveys about women and … I really don’t know what the focus was as it was neither seemed leadership nor violence as the focus.
Though what caught my attention in the burred repetition of debate, was the use of phase women wearing ‘nude clothes’ by the ex-member of National commission of women (hey! We are so special we have a commission for ourselves), my immediate reaction was alright!
Till date the debate was women wearing or not wearing clothes, or how much was the talk of the town and it made some sense not as a debate but at least it builds up logic. But what does it mean by nude clothes, either the person has to be nude or wearing clothes or if the person is wearing clothes she/he can not be nude, simple logic right!
Wrong! The objection is really to clothes being metaphor of being expression of women’s sexuality. Does that mean that women who do not let their skin show have no sexuality? All those who ask such questions and are bothered about issues so narrow I feel are too unsecure of change, expressions an need help.
For me sexuality goes beyond what I wear, the texture of the cotton I wear, the print on the cloth and the color of the cloth, the border of the cloth, the fragrance of the drape. It is for me so beautiful that the even the fragrance of my hair would exhumes ones sexuality, the pen I use the color of my pen the stationary I chose, the wall paper of my laptop all is extension and expression of my sexual being.
The problem is looking at sexuality only form the glass of lust and not beauty, expression, space, freedom and much more.
I am not a sexist and nor a feminist but I would like to believe that I am very sexually aware of myself and would be happy to have space for expression.

Life is beautiful
Never though, living life can be quite a thing. Very often an expression like -What a life! Quite a life! Such a life! Spurts up in our expressions, but right now I feel I am in the most amazing phase of my life.
To begin with I am feeling good that after a long time I am back to feeling self; a feeling of ‘right now’ is the best time in my life. Kind of had started missing that feeling for a while now, it feels like back in driver’s seat in your own life.
What is amazing though is a big difference that I experience in the way I looked at life. I realise I was in many ways kind of passing by in my life journey without experiencing life, like passing though a zone with just having a look around and being amused not experiencing it, not interacting with it. Like walking through this tunnel of aquarium and not being in the sea.
It’s kind of quite over whelming too much to take and still leave on. But in all this what is amazing is really experiencing each challenge to self and to others around, experiencing and not be an on looker. Play a role when needed and that to always aware of uncertainty of weather need to do so or not, or would it be over stepping or required.
A lot of time it is such an amazing life expressing to keep self assessing but also not to get driven and become ‘Zombi’ in this analytical world. Also just letting oneself go. Ya! I know sounds like too much; I guess that is my reason of writing this blog. This discovery of life I owe to many who accompanied and will always be their in my life journey not as long as I want bust as long as they choose.
I guess this is one reality to which I have embraced its amazing, I have realised I need to be aware and conscious as I act but also -just be and even after facing all these challenges and expressing my self all I can only choose and do what I decide to and be comfortable with people being people and react as they want.
It’s a creative network of overlapping spaces like the vines of the creeper overlap as they grow; all exist and grow on, take their own spaces and create and give spaces.
Indeed life is beautiful
