2023-09-09 14:11:13 +0000 UTCI dont pretend to not see the thorns . I acknowledge them but they dont bother me and dont take away the beauty of rose .. i dont reject the rose because it has thorns.. its the acceptance of it as a whole! And we are not talking about women's role or mens role or patriarchy or pedestal.. are we? Even developed country like US is struggling with abortion laws but because of that do we reject Bible? Anyway, We were talking about touching feet as a gesture.. and it is beautiful.. and thats all that matters to me.. If seeing Sudha Murthy touching Big B's feet and he returning the same gesture isn't endearing then what is ! Age ,caste creed , gender etc doesnt matter.. its pure respect and admiration ! 🙏🙏🙏

2023-08-30 01:30:09 +0000 UTCnot forcing down anything but ofcourse i am defending my sanskaar.. I practice touching feet (thats what we were talking about) and do not have any issue with the gesture Seeing men on a pedestal, patriarchy etc are different than a gesture like touching feet.. Learning comment comes because you call it patriarchal and Maya simply rejects Vedas .. this is what is problematic .. I like to smell the rose and you and Maya seem to get bothered by the thorns .. thats the difference 🙏

2023-08-30 00:39:46 +0000 UTCWow you really love just reading something and making blanket statements.. fine then be bothered -not my problem you interpret what I write in the way that you do. Child like curiousity is for subjects that people don’t have any knowledge about… which isn’t the case here, so I’ll pass on this “learning” that you’re trying to force people to do.. practice what you preach first before you start telling others about it.. this is my last reply good bye

2023-08-30 00:30:56 +0000 UTCSociety starts with you and me. I am not in disagreement with Meena. Yes, misuse and force of it is condemned but that doesnt make the practice patriarchal. Dont blame the gesture. Blame the people, as simple as that. We dont wipe out a beautiful practice just because some misuse it or do it out of force. In today's world psychologists say dont make your child hug anyone .. does that mean you want to wipe out hugging altogether or teach them the right way. If you dont want to practice touching feet, it is indeed your freedom. But I have a problem with people who are judgemental of others practices and questioning their Sanskaars and also calling out on something as simple as touching feet out of respect as patriarchal . Learning begins when one says I don't know something and having child like curiosity to know it..and not judge it before actually knowing anything about it. you either believe or you seek...

2023-08-30 00:16:19 +0000 UTCIt is literally a patriarchal practice what 😂 yeah sure keep believing the reason that men don’t touch women’s feet is because the women are usually younger than them . Not that it’s been ingrained in our culture for years to raise men to see themselves on a pedestal. And you’re conveniently ignoring the part where I said IT IS appropriate in certain circumstances. I can support touching of the feet in certain contexts but not others like Meena pointed out in the first place. You seem to take issue with recognizing that this practice is misused, especially in the context of husband and wife. I can’t help with you wanting to see such topics in black and white. Though thinking in simple terms does have benefits in that you don’t need to feel conflicted about a tradition you’ve been practicing for so long.. Anyways no one is stopping you so keep doing what you’ve been doing lol. Bye ✌️

2023-08-29 23:15:43 +0000 UTC@Api- younger ppl touch elder ppl's feet.. very rarely especially in our parent's generation, wife would be older to a husband. Its almost always the other way around. Thats why husband touching wife's feet does not happen as much. Its logical. Its the blessings one seeks, not pacify egos. Dont think of it as a patriarchal practice. And if one hasnt had it in their family, dont have any say towards others who practice it or talk about their sanskaars.. What is so wrong is taking blessings from your older generation.. they have seen many moons than us. Vedas are not just historical cultural artifacts.. its generational wisdom that passed over eons, and still managed to survive as a way of life inspite of multiple attempts of destroying it.. This indeed is not a societal thing for someone to take any kind of stand on ..
Reva
2023-08-29 22:08:25 +0000 UTCI agree! Very good album and slightly different than usual SEL style.. Cant suggest BB songs to OSR unless they see the context too.. but doubt Bandish Bandits will get chance
Reva
2023-08-29 21:54:21 +0000 UTCYeah it was good, stretched a bit towards the end for me, but overall a good show. For BB I still listen to the jukebox regularly, love the songs!
Argha Sen
2023-08-29 21:45:16 +0000 UTCHow is that show? Hearing good things.. In BB, the dynamics between the older generation was very interesting .. The song Virah pierces through every time I hear it.. what a composition !

2023-08-29 17:18:24 +0000 UTCIt’s not unique to India it’s also in Sri Lanka . Also two things can exist at the same time : it can be not endearing in certain situations but endearing and meaningful in others . As nice it’d be, not all traditions can be seen in a black and white mentality

2023-08-29 17:12:03 +0000 UTCwatch her jugalbandi w Shankar Mahadevan. mind blowing https://youtu.be/atlxUKbss_c?feature=shared and also w Rahul Deshpande https://youtu.be/dZnebOqd-RI?feature=shared

2023-08-29 17:08:06 +0000 UTCI am understanding you. But i will not call the "gesture" archaic or not endearing.. the people's mindset could be narrow or egoistic .. anything when it is forced or done meaninglessly, it loses its value. For some households, its involuntarily done when you see an elder. I find it hard to do so, but every family has its own tradition It all depends on perception of the bower and the recipient of it.. But the gesture in itself has a deeper meaning and is unique only to India.
Reva
2023-08-29 17:07:26 +0000 UTCloved that show! not sure if we will get a season 2! its been so long, but there was a cameo of Radhe in "sweet kaaram coffee" which gave me hope it might come back!
Argha Sen
2023-08-29 16:58:41 +0000 UTCYou’re not understanding… it’s appropriate in certain circumstances. It should be earned , like when you touch the feet of a guru or a parent/elder that makes sense. And no it’s not just a young people thing I’m lucky that my family (parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents) also view it as ridiculous to just touch people’s feet whenever . It takes away its meaning when it’s done all the time. Rajinikanth doing it for big b is because he respects him as an elder actor and is inspired by him. What people like Meena and I have a problem with is requiring only the women to touch the feet of men .
Api
2023-08-29 15:54:48 +0000 UTCIts not any rosy picture. Its a practice that is in place in the vedas and unique only to our Culture.. hence only want to celebrate it for what it is.. Its a practice of letting go off your ego and accept knowledge /wisdom of the person whose feet one is touching and the Other person reciprocating with compassion. There are so many videos of celebrities following the gesture.. it goes beyond a hug or a handshake.. Rajnikanth touching Big B's feet, Dhoni touching Sachin's feet .. so many international students touching their professor's feet.. it only invokes a positive feeling in you.. As a kid or a young person, it is hard to understand the "why" of it, but as you mature, you realize the value of this gesture.

2023-08-29 15:46:24 +0000 UTCAye, Api thank you. I must've missed it because I did neither of those two things in TN (learnt dance/music or attend a wedding). I would've loved to attend a Tamil wedding. Brahmin practices - now, that's interesting.
Par
2023-08-29 12:54:14 +0000 UTCIt’s common in Tamil culture for showing respect to teachers (ex. Music, dance, etc). It also happens for parents and elders for certain ceremonies like weddings. The women touching men feet thing isn’t as common but it’s there especially with Brahmin practices.
Api
2023-08-29 11:57:54 +0000 UTCIs touching someone's feet a popular practice in certain parts of the country - if so, where? I haven't seen it in my circles in Kerala, nor in Tamil Nadu (I was there just for three years though). I'm guessing Punjab, even UP - as that's the culture we predominantly see through the lens of Bollywood. I wonder if it exists in the North East, including Bengal...

2023-08-29 11:34:55 +0000 UTCThe new song from Jawan has just dropped. Please react. It’s a banger although I think Chaleya is still the best one so far.

2023-08-29 11:17:39 +0000 UTC@revati As much as it has positive connotation it equally has negatives in certain contexts.. why shouldn’t she talk about those ? We’re not here to give osr a rose-tinted-glass perception of south Asian practices .
Api
2023-08-29 10:49:21 +0000 UTCCompletely agree Meena. It always irked me when women have to bow down to their husbands but you’ll never see it the other way around. Luckily the practice of touching their husbands feet is getting less common but yes it’s still there.
Api
2023-08-29 10:42:26 +0000 UTCBecause you are talking about the Guru-Shishya concept, you may want to watch Bandish Bandits to get a glimpse of the level of reverence, penance the relationship goes through.. music is by Shankar Ehsaan Loy.. good actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni, Sheeba Chaddha
Reva
2023-08-29 06:22:10 +0000 UTCIts the perception.. Touching feet is as they pointed out as endearing and a way of showing respect, love, gratitude.. Bowing down to anybody out of force is bad let alone touching feet.. I would happily touch my husband's feet if I feel it someday.. many women do it today.. my mom does it.. I dont see it as worship but respectful of her sanskaar(virtues). Lets not give a beautiful gesture of our culture negative connotation just because it is misused by some..
Reva
2023-08-29 06:14:59 +0000 UTCTouching feet has a lot of connotation in Indian culture that's not "so endearing" but is very archaic. Yes, children touching parent's feet or younger person touching an elderly family member or getting blessing from grandparents - is all well and good. But, you will see in older Indian movies, women touching their husband's feet to express her worship of him as a 'god'. it's a subservient gesture and class based where a poor person may touch feet of the land owner to pay respect. These practices still continue in certain parts of India, I believe.

2023-08-29 03:14:38 +0000 UTCThank you so much for reacting to this! Fun Fact: She came in 3rd in the competition. This might be mainly because winner is decided based on public voting. And Indian Classical music is not as popular as Bollywood music. So a singer who is good in singing bollywood songs is more likely to win.
