One evening all of us were busy having a ebullient informal chat.Usual exchangers and teasers were going on at rapidfire pace.Just then youngest member of our patriarchal family broke the vibrant dialogues by raising a natural,innocent query,"What do couples do at their honeymoon".And after it only prevailed were his monologues.
What was wrong in his innocent query that left the whole pedigree surprised or rather abashed.Was there anything apocalyptic in his question.I myself could not discern it,but it felt awkward.
What are those mental himalayan barriers,the generation rifts that prevails and abort the patriarch sharing sex related issues with adolescents.Recently their was a break through by CBSE as it announced that schools should allocate some portion of cirriculum towards sex education.There has been lot of hallagulla since then over this issue.Worst of all some intellectuals in shape of teacher have protested citing they feel embrass presenting themselves as sex teacher.
Adding salt to misery are the mandarins sitting on the pinnacle of democracy.The educated Kerala,the global Karnataka,the upcoming Madhya Pradesh,the NRI wannabe Gujarat,The prosperous Punjab all have come up with state sponsored bans on sex education.
Personally,I share a common faith with CBSE.I reckon sex education as a need of hourWith prominent increase in child abuse cases,how can we dare to leave our teens in mercyless hands of lusty uncles.Why can't the parent take the burden of educating their wards.If we are little more responsible Nithari's could be avoided and more importantly no question of our child could turn our Dialogues into Monologues.
