Bollywood dancers and two young devils

Do you still remember those 'Bollywood dancers' I told you about in class? Those two students who 'danced' along the street in front of my kid's school at 4.30 p.m.--the busiest time of the day!

Do you still remember the two devils in high school uniform I found 'body-searching' and 'kissing' in a glass elevator full of people at around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon in a crowded department store?

What has got into their minds? Are these acceptable behaviours among teens?

In both cases, those 'in action' were wearing their uniforms. The first couple were just 'Bollywood dancing' along the street--hiding behind trees, running and hugging and giggling. The second ones were beyond my imagination. I still couldn't understand why they didn't feel 'shy'.

Don't get me wrong. I was educated in the US. I saw kids kissing at malls, supermarket, or even in the back of a bus. Still, I've never thought it's appropriate. Even American parents don't think that it's appropriate. So, don't blame the western culture. It's us who 'choose' to behave a certain way. These behaviours are done by 'choice'. You choose to do it.

Teens can fall in love. They can hug. They can kiss. But in private! Love is a very delicate matter. You can easily turn something so beautiful and romantic into something really nasty and disgusting. The very thin line that separate us from other animals is right there where you can stop yourself from putting a 'show' in public!

Tell me what you think.
