Sex Life of Couples in Indian Slums


Below is an interview I had personally with a women in an Indian slum. She did not want her name to be mentioned and therefore I would refer to her as Mrs X through this blog.

Some times back I was able to visit an Indian slum in one of the most crowded cities in India i.e Mumbai. When I was randomly strolling down the small alleyways, I saw a little child around the age of 12, I was carrying a packet of biscuits and handed out to the little fellow. Immediately went forth and introduced his mother to me.  



I sat down in the front part of their house which had a concrete step and slowly started a discussion with her. She immediately started stating her difficulties and how hard life was. Along the way I started questioning about her family and got to know she was a mother of 7 children. 

A further dig in and I got to know that her eldest was as old as 35 and the youngest was just around 8 and furthermore the age gap between herself and her eldest daughter was just 15 years which means she became a mother at 15.

I asked with all the difficulties around, why she did not plan her family and restricted the number of children. With a shyly grin in her face she said that "how can we control" and also her husband is a manual laborer working in warehouse carrying goods all day and when he comes home at night he routinely drinks alcohol and have sex.

I then went on to ask her that why she did not use a condom to which she replied that the house was too small and she slept together with their children in the same room and that making use of a condom for some reason she believe is too much of a task and that while doing so might alert her children.

Annara Mundu The medieval undergarments of women in Kerala, India

Image
Until about fifty years ago, most of the women of present-day Kerala in India used to wear undergarments called  onnara mundu  that literally translates to ‘one and a half a loincloth’. This was essentially a loincloth made of thinner cotton fabric and tied in a particular fashion. There used to be a little function for young girls on the threshold of puberty to move from a  konakam  or loincloth to the more sophisticated and feminine  onnara mundu . It was one of our rites of passage. The  onnara mundu  did for the waist what the corset did for the upper body for women in the West. The upper portion of the body was bare and so nobody really cared how ‘stuff’ grew :P All the focus was on the waist and downward. Hence the importance of the  onnara mundu.  It was tied very tightly around the growing waists of the girls to give them the trademark South Indian body shape as they grew older. But due to the fabric, it was very comfortable to wear and gave the wearer a sense of modesty. Let’s

Largest Snakes in History

Largest Snakes in History Humans have an innate fear of snakes. Ophidiophobia is one of the most common phobias in the world, and studies have shown that most primates are genetically wired to detect snakes rapidly. Prehistory is writhing with snakes, but not just little ones - some were true giants. Everyone talks about  Titanoboa cerrejonensis.  I tend to refrain from writing about famous, popular fossil taxa, but it would be wrong to exclude it from this answer. So,  Titanoboa  was 12.8 metres long, a ton in weight, and commonly cited as the largest snake in history. To at least bring something new to the table, I should mention that  studies  have suggested that  Titanoboa  was more of a piscivore (fish-eater) than a megafauna-killer. Perhaps the snake was in fact a gentle giant? Before the discovery of  Titanoboa,  the title of largest snake went to a different species -  Gigantophis garstini . It lived about 20 million years after  Titanoboa , in the Eocene, being found in Africa

Who are The indigenous white Muslims?

THE WHITE MUSLIMS - A LARGE GROUP SIMPLY NEGLECTED Whites and Muslims are always 2 different groups in the eyes of many westerners. But there are close to 100-150 million white Muslims in the broader description of the white race. and even in the most conservative definition of "white", there are close to at least 40-50 Million Muslims. Chechen Muslim insurgents who fought against Russia for independence There are the obvious white Muslims who live in Europe or on the edge of the continent in countries like Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Russia and Turkey. The Definition of the White race has always been in debate since the formation of USA. America Described "anyone with middle eastern, European or North African Descent as white"  The middle east obviously has people who could fit the visible test of being white but then there are also quite a number of middle easterners who clearly look nothing like white. But despite the American c
