When I travelled in Australia at the beginning of 2007, I also again visited the woman whom I told you about, the lady who spent nearly the complete day in front of the computer, online. She had a big virtual life and of course, we also talked about it. When I heard about the online behavior of my fellow countrymen, I was… well, what to say… highly amused?
I had asked her to describe a little bit what she did online and had got to know that a big part of her time was spent actually interacting with real human beings. She was doing a lot on social media and also chatted nearly the whole day long with different people.
Although she had never left Australia, she knew a lot about different parts of the world – all from sitting in front of the computer and talking to people of various countries. It was quite impressive when she told me small bits of different places I had visited, telling me about online habits that I could confirm to be true in real life as well. Until she came to the question how Indians behave. That was definitely very different from real life – and hilariously so!
She said: ‘Literally, the first topic that Indians want to talk about is sex!’ You start writing, ask each other how you are and there you right away get the question: ‘How is your sex life?’ Trying to evade doesn’t bring you anything! On ‘Very good’, the next question follows: ‘How many times do you have sex in a week?’ or something similar! She laughed when telling this and said she always quit the conversation when they asked ‘Can you turn on your camera?’
I had to laugh, too! Why would you ask someone sitting anywhere in the world on a computer how his or her sex life was? She explained me that she was a very open woman and didn’t mind talking about sex from time to time – but not always and only!
Her conclusion was that Indian people were either only always talking about sex – or never, which is why they had to just take it out online! I agreed. Indians do not talk about sex with anybody of the opposite gender. It’s not proper. But online, they obviously feel free. Free to finally ask all the things they really have on their mind – because they otherwise always have to suppress the talk and the thought!
At the base, it is of course a problem of the society – but it was just funny to hear the expressions of it! Imagine this happening in real life when you meet someone! ‘Hello, how are you?’ – ‘Good, and how is your sex life?’
