learning never stops ..
but some times real life instances make you wonder ..where is the limit?? some people surpass every limit..
I workout everyday an hour in Gym .. ..The women s lockers are like right in front as you enter there are lockers n then powder room n showers n then washrooms..
many a times I see girls removing their tanks an going to gym in sports bra which is very well covered ..and looks decent ,,,I generally see all ages .. starting from 23 yrs to 78 yrs.. in which maximum percentage consists of senior citizens ..
Friday is busy day at gym no parking n lot is full ..kicks my butt moving from one end to another.
I went inside checked inn its 24/7 and headed straight to locker room as I entered I was numb .. a fully naked women sitting n moisturizing herself .. I was like really? I thought no its not ,, I turned n saw her back again to be sure .. .. I wasn't dizzy .. she was naked .. n ladies inside were jus changing and moving totally ignorant of the fact she is naked.
I had heard many stories in past too people move naked in locker rooms or in showers at pool vicinity too ..cuz its a culture n there is no hesitation .. but being an Indian its not our culture I was little embarrassed .. cuz it never happened n person like me who gets scared even in dreams if I see myself naked ..here a women so confident ly moving around with no clothes.
..last year during our bridal show I went back to get the outfit from one of our models I was amazed to see girls getting half naked ,, in changing room ,, I was oh! but seems like its a culture shock for me .. cuz we have grown up in conservative society .. liberal in thoughts but conservative dressing..
When we see people at this extent then we realize where exactly we are...in which world we are living in and how liberal people are in thoughts,body n mind .. I was not only surprised by her nakedness but also people who were totally ignoring her and moving back n forth ..
Life is full of surprises .. n sometimes we learn .. learn wht??
learn to accept , learn to respect n learn to keep your eyes ahead :) instead of staring ..
.. usually we as Indians stare at each other a lot in western world to make sure its indian or Mexican !
I usually say under my breath if someone stares at me,its ok fine I m an Indian no doubts now.

:)..the nonchalance in nakedness is amazing there..I rememebr that 35 yrs back I took a sari for a foreigner friend, she wanted to try, and she started changing in front of us,,my friend's young daughter ran away feeling shy..
ha haaa ..that was funny ,, that action was obvious...
.. its a different culture ..here.
Yep in India we need a "changing room"
And now Fab India is in the news for taking clandestine pics in the changing room !!
..Well the fab india thing is SAD ..its not expected from reputed store.thats shameful!
.. People here have migrated from all over the world ..the clash of culture s is yet to digest ..
one side muslim community covered head to toe .. other side people walking naked in locker rooms ,, n then other side people like me feeling shy putting head down n walking out for no apparent reason ..
but the beauty is "RESPECT" ,, n not to judge .. its their culture n this is ours n muslim s they respect theirs with no objection and ignorant about fact that people are walking naked in locker rooms.
Hello HArman ..
I think the culture here aborad is better for sure , in india even if i am indian people are MEAN ..
i am sure you will know what i mean
Bikram's
yep ..I have met lot of these mean people :P and plus those with dirt n filth in mind .. and tharki buddas too in india ..plus not to forget Bicky those lousy uncles who are perverts n end up getting smashed at every party lying flat on floors.
I respect the culture here .. where sex is not suppressed .. n women are not stared .
I too had experienced such culture shock at my gym locker room, some 12 years back.The guy naked was a prominent dignitary. I had to look at him a couple of times to make sure what i had just seen. It is ok for people to go the way of the west, but as you said most importantly their minds should also be open and broad to respect others ways while you walk your own.
It is strange.. it is partly that we Indians are very conscious of our body, be it a cleavage or full nude... globally, neither seem to be such an issue...
