Mystic secret

Aap ki Aankhon Mein...{In your eyes I find some mystic secrets} rings in my ears as I write this, reminding me of the sexuality then, and now!

When I grew up, the Polka Dot Bikini, oops, Saree, was a unique form of sensuality.

If Rekha adorned one (saree) in Black-n-white polka dots, that was the epitome of sexy! And if co-actors simply blew smoke over her face, like Vinod Mehra did in the song sequence 'aap ki aankhon mein...", it didn't get flashed with a warnings in those days, that 'smoking', or even 'bathroom sex', was dangerous for health!

But then you move 3.5 decades later in time (from 1978, and I was kid back then, making my first impressions of sexuality), and you find plenty songs (barring a handful few thankfully), that have moved from being meaningful, to being dirt cheap double meaning, or sexually suggestive in the least, through crude Hindi lyrics, - and oh yes, the masses must adore songs like "4 bottle vodka, kaam mera roz ka" (I'm drinking 4 bottles of Vodka daily), and the likes of that, which get beamed across radio channels and must be a rave in night clubs, even though they are contra-societal normalcy.

The simplicity, with which sexuality was depicted, is long lost. And one wonders, why does it have to be cheap, to be sensual or arousing? But its more like, why savor an expensive whiskey, when you can get high with a local brew? And so most of the new gen films, capitalize on this item pop. And a gyrating navel.

I'm forced to reckon that the gen of yesteryears was far superior, that they could ingeniously with the simplistic expressions of the actors and even more floral worded songs, convey far more than a gyrating bare navel or torso can?
