Let’s Talk About Sex

Ha Ha Ha. Before you start thinking too much, let me be clear. It’s not a post that talks about various issues/concepts related to sex. But rather I wrote this post to share a very un-common song that I heard recently. Un-common because it talks of a topic which is not commonly talked about in our society.

I found this beautiful track 2 days back in a music portal that I was surfing as I am an avid music lover. And I must say after hearing the song I was impressed. Hence, I thought of sharing this song with all of you. I loved this song b’coz of its to-the-point-speaking-style, the topic selection, the music, and mostly because it hammers on conservatism, something I hammer too. :)

I don’t know if you will like this or not, but still give it a shot. And let me know if you like the song by posting your comments here.

Some of the comments that I have received:

AV:

• “I heard this song for the first time…..but I must admit the song is really good…..both in terms of music and the lyrics…..actually too good b’coz it speaks of a serious topic in a most beautiful way…..”

SM:

• “Thanks for the song...its catchy to ears really. ‘Lets talk about sex baby’, its nice. Good for my aerobic exercises also, very beautiful.”

Let's Talk About Sex - The Album history



"Let's Talk About Sex" is the name of a song by the American R&B/hip-hop trio Salt-N-Pepa. It was released as a single from their Blacks' Magic album in the year of 1991. The song, which was certified Gold by the RIAA and peaked at #13 at the Billboard Hot 100 chart, talks about safe sex, the positive and negative sides of sex and the censorship that sex had around that time in American mainstream media. It also highlights the conservative thinking towards this topic.

Its peak on the Billboard Hot 100 was perhaps lower than its sales might have suggested, possibly because of cautiousness over playing hip-hop/rap singles on some radio stations at the time. In the purely sales-based UK Singles Chart, the song hit #2, and in the German singles chart, the song hit #1, the first original song by an American hip-hop act to achieve that feat.

--- Song Lyrics ---

[Spinderella, cut it up one time!
Hit me
Come on]

[Punch it, Hurb)
Yo, I don't think we should talk about this
Come on, why not?
People might misunderstand what we' tryin' to say, you know?
No, but that's a part of life
Come on

(chours)

Let's talk about sex, baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex

Let's talk about sex for now to the people at home or in the crowd
It keeps coming up anyhow
Don't decoy, avoid, or make void the topic
Cuz that ain't gonna stop it
Now we talk about sex on the radio and video shows
Many will know anything goes
Let's tell it like it is, and how it could be
How it was, and of course, how it should be
Those who think it's dirty have a choice
Pick up the needle, press pause, or turn the radio off
Will that stop us, Pep? I doubt it
All right then, come on, Spin

CHORUS

Hot to trot, make any man's eyes pop
She use what she got to get whatever she don't got
Fellas drool like fools, but then again they're only human
The chick was a hit because her body was boomin'
Gold, pearls, rubies, crazy diamonds
Nothin' she ever wore was ever common
Her dates heads of state, men of taste
Lawyers, doctors, no one was too great for her to get with
Or even mess with, the Prez she says was next on her list
And believe me, you, it's as good as true
There ain't a man alive that she couldn't get next to
She had it all in the bag, so she should have been glad
But she was mad and sad and feelin' bad
Thinkin' about the things that she never had
No love, just sex, followed next with a check and a note
That last night was dope

Let's talk about sex, baby (sing it)
Let's talk about you and me (sing it, sing it)
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex (come on)
Let's talk about sex (do it)
Let's talk about sex (uh-huh)
Let's talk about sex

Ladies, all the ladies, louder now, help me out
Come on, all the ladies - let's talk about sex, all right
(repeat)

[Yo, Pep, I don't think they're gonna play this on the radio
And why not? Everybody has sex
I mean, everybody should be makin' love
Come on, how many guys you know make love?]

CHORUS

Spinderalla cut it up one time

What we have here is subject to controversy
A three-letter word some regard as a curse, see
He may fiend and have a wet dream
Because he seen a teen in tight jeans
What makes him react like that is biological
The skem of gettin' in those jeans, it's diabolical
But of course he does it, and she gives him rap,
and before you even know it, they jump in the sack
As a matter of fact, sometimes it's like that
But anyway, ready or not, here he cums
and like a dumb son-of-a-gun, oops, he forgot the condom*hey!*
"Oh well," you say, "what the hell, it's chill,
I won't get got, I'm on the pill"
Until the sores start to puff and spore
Down your drawers
He gave it to you, and now it's all yours

CHORUS

Hit me, kill me, but do not lie to me.

(Unedited)

If there is anything which is worse than a sin then, as for me personally, it is Lie. I HATE LIES or I better say DISHONESTY/CHEATS and I will continue to hate it as long as I live. And in all the places further when I use the term ‘Lie’ I would essentially mean ‘Dishonesty’.

It is very difficult for me to forgive a person who lies/lied to me. Because for someone who is so emotionally attached to people around him, feelings value. And when feelings are hurt, you cry. If you are beaten physically you would only suffer physical pain, if some comes and cuts your legs/hands off you will be handicapped physically. But when someone hurts your heart, your inner spirit, it is worse. Something that can never be repaired. It is an old saying that once a mirror is broken it can never show the complete image even if it is joined somehow. There will always be a scar. Scar on body can be cured or covered, but scar on heart can only be covered never cured. And I face the fear around me always, be it my colleagues, my contacts, my well wishers, or even my true friends.

In my short life of 7 years, 7 because I believe I came to life only since 1999. It was the time when I realized (though not understood ever) what is life all about. I started knowing people, their out(s) and their in(s). I came to know what is wrong, what is right, what is a crime, what is a sin. I came to know when and how much to value someone’s word. I came to know who should I talk to and who should talk to me. And when all these happened at once, my list of people around me got shorter suddenly. I am sad (but not sorry) that it happened. When I came to know the reality of some of my friends my inner self did not allow me to continue any touch with them. And since then I have been very selective when it comes to making friends. Some people consider it as my shyness but I wish that they read this post before creating judgments on my behavior.

For me friends are not just people around you who you see, smile, wave, part & then forget. They are people who you think of when they are not there with you, people you want to know about, people you care for, people you want to help by any means, people you long to meet, and people you would love to be with in your next life too. Not to mention that those people should have same set of feelings towards you. I know you must be thinking of your many friends right now and trying to figure out how many fit into these standards. Don’t be sad. And that is why my friend list is very small. And rest people come to another list which I call “Contacts”. I would like to reveal here that people have always caught me hanging around on my mail box, over instant messenger or talking over the wireless media continuously. If it is so it is because of those beautiful gifts that I have received from god in the form of friends. And I am proud to call them friends, real friends. I am also proud that I am caught talking to them. And honestly it will continue, as long as I live and as long I have such people with me.

I know it might sound that why from the subject of lies I have diverted towards friendship. It is because when I hear a lie I can’t help think of those people who are honest. My friends (people in the 1st list) don’t lie to me. Not because they are very honest internally (no one can be 100% honest), but god’s grace they try to remain honest to me.

And I am strong enough to say that if I come to know of some one’s dishonesty, there would be a big scar on my friends list and another small one on my heart once more. I feel I am used to this. Why? That is a different story.

This very personal and very close to me post of mine is also read by my such friends and I say them openly, “I expect you to be honest.” I may sound rude but this the way I am. If I treat some one my friend, I think I have the right to expect honesty from them. And I assure that my honesty will remain as it has been till now.

This post is comparatively longer than the rest of the posts here and reason is simple, myself. I want to note down all this here, which I and others can read today or in the days to come.

In our religions, jainism in particular and hinduism is general, we are taught that speaking lies is a sin. I feel proud to be a part of such a community which seeds such values within us from our childhood. Still many people forget them, either due to situation or due to their own will, but those who remember, sooner or later feel the importance of it.

When one lies he/she has to keep a lot of things ready to face. He/she prepares the answers of the probable questions which can be asked. And sooner or later they have to rope in more lies in order to support the former ones. And this vicious circle, continues, continues and continues. And if there remains some sense of maturity, sooner or later he/she realizes the mistake and feels sorry for that. But the sooner, the better. Because time once gone can never be rewind. And all that is left is sorry and frustration.

I have always come to such situations where people have given me a lot of hope through their ‘honestly’ spoken words. Either they show it while describing a sensitive incident which happened or when they give away promises or when they agree to carry on some plans. But how many times they have followed their words and how many times they haven’t? As per my experience, especially since I developed a better sense of understanding the situation and people, I will say 1/10 times. This figure may sound too small to you but to me its something which still makes me happy, happy for the first part of it. At least every ten things I hear or every ten things that are said to me; one of those will be exactly like that, word by word. I know in this world of uncertainty where you don’t know what is going to happen to you in the next moment, its hard to expect even 1/10 to be carried in the manner it was said, leave alone 10/10. But if things are said with the sense of true honesty & true responsibility, it should. It will also help the anger, the anxiety, the frustration and the dejection caused later on to be brought down.

And as per my personal experience and what I have seen around myself, I know how great a loss false words cause. People are forced to do things they don’t want to. People are forced to do things which are not correct. People are forced to behave rudely. Why? Because their confidence, their respect for others and specially their respect for themselves have been broken. I use the word forced because it is something which is the effect of something, something which is caused not selected. And in most of the cases the losses of these effects are caused to you and only you. No one else will suffer. Or even if some one suffers of it, it would be temporary. But you, you will lose yourself for ever. So if people do not lie or make false promises, you would have been escaped.

Some one may argue that when you lie for someone’s benefit it is not a sin rather a good deed, because that will help him/her in some way or the other. But I believe it is only for those people who are weak and not ready or strong enough to face the truth, the fact. And I am not one of those. I believe that it is always better to know the facts, the truth, the bad things and cry rather than being happy and then get hit suddenly later on which may cause death to someone, mentally and sometimes physically too.

I don’t know, neither do I suggest that one should have any contact with those people who don’t mean their words. Because if you do so, you will be alone. And even at times You yourself have to lie (intentionally, unintentionally, forcefully, helplessly, etc)...so you are more alone. Rather it would be better to first find out about some and then believe. “It is always better to judge and act than to act and judge”. And I admit here that I lie too, but I am never dishonest.

Though I have skipped lots of things here either because they are too personal to me or because they are of no importance to you. But whatever I have said here is straight from my heart, one which prefers to be killed than being cheated.

I am different, I think differently. And so is you, he, she. Hence people will have different opinions to this entire post. But their comments are always welcome. I would like to know what do they feel/felt when some one lies/lied to them.

With a hope (still) to find more honest people around me.

Signing off,

Ro

There is one thing which never betrays and that’s your inner self. Live with it and live for it. You will never cry. I do the same. Do you?

P.S. This post is written in a very plain language because I wanted to dot down each and everything. And hence could not put in enough time to write it down in a professional/formal language. You may also feel that the points are not in a proper flow. But I hope I have been able to speak my heart here, honestly.

Confidom – The first female condom of India

Confidom – The first female condom of India

I heard about this product on a local FM radio few days back and thought of finding out some more details. I came to know that the product was released some time back but as I don’t have access to television at my home, I didn’t have any idea of it whatsoever. And I wonder how many people are aware of this, so thought of writing this on my blog.

There has been a big buzz in the media about the release of female con-doms from a long long time. And finally it is out. It’s being marketed by HLL (Hindustan Latex Ltd.), one of the most trusted brands in India. It has partnered with a US health company called –The Female Health Company to market their female con-doms in India under the brand name – Confidom. The name symbolizes the motto “Confidence”.

And just for some facts: The female con-dom was first introduced in Europe and the US in 1992 and 1993 and was introduced in Asia only after 2000.

As it’s just the first launch in India, the price range is pretty high. It will cost Rs. 250/- (US$ 6) for a pair. It gives an impression that it’s targeted to the elite classes only. And as per the information available it can be reused too. In order to popularize the product the Government has already placed an order for 500,000 con-doms that will be distributed either free or at a subsidized price of Rs.5 per piece to the s-e-x workers.

Right now it’s only available in 8 cities in India: Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Erode, Namakal, Salem and Mapalayam. And as the time passes by, it should be available in other parts of the country too.

You can find more details about this on the official site: http://www.confidom.com. I know most of the people will think twice before clicking this link. Not because they are worried what will be there, but it’s more because they are worried about what if others catch you browsing this site. I think we need to come out of this conservativeness. And no wonder why I am not expecting many comments to this post :)

To get the list of retail stores vending Confidom in your city, visit http://www.confidom.com/pleasuredom.aspx and click on the city name on the page.

We hope that this initiative by HLL will work to secure more indians.

Be safe, be confident.

Cheers!

Deutsche Bank Online Login Blues - Here is a trick

Wow! I just got my brand new Bank a/c with Deutsche Bank and immediate I went to its site https://login.deutschebank.co.in/ to check out it's online banking feature.

I noticed that the login page had a totally new thing called "Virtual Keypad" (picture below), which is used for entering Passwords. I realized that it's there to secure your login details as any Key-Logging software can track your typed password and do havoc to your bank a/c as well as your life.


At the very first look it looked Damn Impressive to me. And I went ahead to enter my password with the help of that Virtual Keypad. But just 30 seconds later, I realized the hitch involved in it. It's not only time taking but very tiresome. And to add problems, every time you visit the login page, the keys in the virtual keypad are shuffled.

I was stuck and thought of finding an easier way, I typed the password in a notepad and tried copying & pasting but it also didn't work. I was puzzled. But as I always believe that all puzzles have answers, I tried the other way round. And here is what I settled with at last.

Though this is not fully secure but still it's a good way out for me and I am perfectly happy with it. Read ahead to get an idea.


Virtual Keypad Alternative - Step By Step

Generally when we login to a site we type in the ID first & then the password, but in this case we go in the opposite order. Here is how:

1. Open the login page and type your Password in the Customer ID field. (make sure no one is peeping at your monitor).

2. Now select the entire password (just press Ctrl+A)


3. Drag the selected text with Mouse and drop it on the Login Password field.


4. Now enter your Customer ID in the Customer ID field as you normally do.


5. Click Login! And you are done.


Hope it helps you.

Come on stupid, I am just a human!

Some people say I am good, some people say I am bad. Some love me the most and some of them hate the best. What to do?

Let me remind everyone, I am just a human like you. And If you like/love me for some reaons its because of those areas/standards where I score over others and I feel blessed for that. But if you hate me for anything, its because you are looking at my negative side :).

I am human and as a human its my fundamental right to make mistakes. So If I make one, why can't it be accepted by people around me? Is it because people are expecting too much from me or is it because I have got my own standards which I always try to stick to; and people have got accustomed seeing me follwing them? If its the former, I must tell Its their mistake to expect this much from me. Dont keep too high a standards for anyone. Else when broken, you will feel yourself floating in the sea wihtout a life boat, specially when you dont know how to swim and the sea is full of sharks.

And if its latter, comeon man, I can break my own rules at least, can't I?

So next time I give you reasons to hate me ask yourself the remedy not me. And I promise, I will keep giving LOTS of reason like that in the future. (Tongue out)

Catch you later.

Cheers!
