Like every other things –science, technology or arts, language also passed through evolutionary process and changed its meaning. So far my knowledge goes, it was mostly a process of improving, uplifting .Language is the appeal in which thought parade in public; it should not be clothed in vulgar attire. From Last few years “sexy’ and’ naked ‘ have come out with victory crown from closed cupboard to
world-wide open ground.
In the grocery shop my daughter was in the queue of pay-lines and I stood idly ,rotating my eyes over articles on display on aisles. Out of curiosity I went near an isle where lots of paper cartons marked with brightly written “naked:” My god! those were innocent smoothie of different fruits stamped by that name of company-to attract the potential customer. In super glossy ‘Food, Health& hygiene’ Magazine I noticed often sexy juices’ in colorful bottles, obviously---- with cookie-cutter women in scanty dresses. Why not “organic”” pure,” “natural”, “herbal” or “ambrosial”---which match well with fruits and food are used? Does ‘sex’ has left the old skin like snake and has been promoted to newer meaning? When I showed my daughter she replied laughingly,
Do you know mom, in London ,the name of a very popular restaurant is “NAKED CHEF”---looking at my wide-opened shocking eyes she said humorously, ”No,no, the chef is in proper dress ; but it means that the chef cooks pure healthy food without any harmful spices!”
---There is just one generation gap between me and my daughter; but how easily she can accept the change.
It is language which is salient distinct feature to make human race very special from the rest of species of the world; Only human was endowed with the divine power to articulate their thoughts in meaningful sound-capsule which is language .It needs to be honored.
Few years ago, in magazine, paper, T.V. talk show I heard everywhere hot discussion about a fiction titled as ‘Monologue of Vagina”. I winced to hear the title. May be theme of the book was not bad, something biological. But the title? Perhaps the title did not help to earn much financial fortune. Otherwise second volume
would have been published as ‘dialogue between v--and p’- targeting to a plethora of talk-shows!
In our time the biology teacher explained the biological term while explaining the cause of women’s monthly period,as ‘weeping of the ovary.’ There was art of literature even in medical terms.
Literature is loosing aesthetic beauty because public accept it. Nobody raise his voice against i
Near Time-square for shoe advertisement of famous company, I saw with surprise photos of three completely nude beautiful young girls, as huge as building, standing in such a way like creepers, keeping almost invisible the private parts of body. While in appreciation of the photographer, I looked amazingly at the picture, I noticed painful expression in the eyes of those young faces. Those eyes reminded me the contempt in the eyes of the unseen, helpless slaves in Roman age against the brutal torture of their cruel masters. I asked sadly to my daughter,’ What is the purpose of this huge nude picture?’
“ It is for the ad of shoes and not for dresses, dear mom!’
Then my eyes followed the long legs resembling stems to notice three pairs of shoes in their feet.
‘But, I think all but the shoes will be noticed. People’s eyes have rare chance to reach down to their feet.’
I felt so sad; their painful look touched my heart;… perhaps those girls signed up with the company for huge money, to meet up for student loan or family burden
without least knowledge of the incomprehensible sacrifice (bereft of womanlihood) they had to do.
Or, may be I am wrong, backdated and pessimistic!
