There is this popular TV serial Taarak Mehta ka Oolta Chashmah on the family channel SAB, where the main protagonist Jetha Laal is shown besotted with his neighbor, Babita. While this scenario doesn't raise any eyebrows ....it is quite a cliche' plot of any romcom. The difference here is that both are shown as happily married middle aged adults. His actions like giving her covert glances, floundering of speech or batting of eyelids is supposed to be comical. An adult (also happily married) behaving like a love struck teenager-comical?
Is the plot out of our daily lives? We see many instances of perfect husbands openly flirting with colleagues. we see women unabashedly using sexuality for meaningful gains. A wink here, a touch there, a smile here, a pout there. The term coined for such behavior is 'harmless flirting'.
Flirting is the first step of infidelity and there is nothing harmless about it? It is very easy to get attracted to one person...or different persons at different times. But it takes self control to stay rooted in your relation. Some might find my views orthodox debating that this is liberating your feelings while not indulging in any act of immorality. I beg to differ. Progression of thoughts is elevating yourself, your spouse and your relation to a higher level of commitment . Rather it is regression to give in to your wayward thoughts and feelings. And as we were taught in moral science class....not only immoral act but an impure thought is also a sin.
My grandma always told me....... Mann ka ghoda bahut tezz bhagta hai.....uski lagam hamesha pakad kar rakhni chahiye !
A relation equals 100% commitment....there is no scope for flirting....harmless or otherwise.---what do you say?--Finger Talkies.
