Bologna, Italy: Men dreaming of being women, women dreaming of being men, persons dreaming new identities, for most persons it seems strange and they can't understand it. Before children are born, there are expectations of the parents about what kind of boy or girl they want. What is the proper behaviour for men and women, it goes deep in our hearts. Crossing those boundaries is difficult.
बोलोनिया, इटलीः नारी बनने का सपना देखते पुरुष, पुरुष होने का सपना देखती नारियाँ, एक नयी पहचान का सपना, यह अधिकाँश लोगों को अजीब लगता है और उसे समझ नहीं पाते. पैदा होने से पहले ही माता पिता के सपने निर्धारित कर देते हैं कि लड़का कैसा होना चाहिये और लड़की कैसी. बचपन से मन की गहराईयों में यह बातें गहरी बैठ जाती हैं कि क्या पुरुषोचित है, लड़कियों को किस तरह व्यवहार करना चाहिये. इन लक्ष्मण रेखाओं को पार करना बहुत कठिन है.
Bologna, Italia: Uomini che sognano di essere donne, donne che sognano di essere uomini, persone che sognano una nuova identità, per la maggior parte di noi questi desideri sono strani e non riusciamo a capirli. Ancora prima che nascono i figli, i genitori hanno delle idee molto precise su quale tipo di figlio o figlia vogliono. Qual'è comportamento adatto ad un uomo o ad una donna, entro nel nostro profondo. E' facile oltrepassare queste frontiere.

ReplyDeleteI understand the strong conservative sentiment before you penned those lines. As they say, everyone is born a bisexual yet the environment decides what gender role we tend to take up soon in life. I always ask this question about sexuality... "If sex is one of the means to the end to find a tryst between pleasure and purpose in life, and in a regular heterosexual relationship, this is achievable, with the LGBT community, with so much of pleasure lurking, what is the purpose?!" The reason why there is always a vacuum no matter how hard they try... God and Godessess, if any, save the world.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry VST if my words give the impression that I am strongly conservative! :)
DeleteIt was unintentional, because otherwise I wouldn't have joined the parade. However, I wanted to bring out that choices are not always easy and accepting each other's different humanity sometimes touches beliefs hidden deep inside us, making us react in ways that cause pain and suffering.
Just beautiful...:)

DeleteI feel very deeply for the non-conformists-they have some inner compulsions,or why would they choose to swim against the tide?
ReplyDeleteI agree Indu. The inner compulsions must be very strong so that in spite of all the ridicule, exclusion and hurt, people still continue on that way.
