Yesterday i read an article in Dinamalar. Famous actress Rohini has said that there are no new path breaking writers are entering in literary field from the ladies side. The article was a reply to her statement. In the article the writer has identified Kutty Revathi, Salma and maithri as the new path breaking writers. He has also quoted some of their poems as evidence. Though i have read some of the poems by Kutty Revathi and Salma these poems shocked me. May be because i am from old school and strictly warned by my parents and teachers not to use even slang. Naming and talking about private parts in public except to doctors is strictly prohibited and if some parents hear that their ward used such words one can be damn sure that a severe punishment is awaiting. Both Kutty Revathy and Salma re using the names of the private parts in their poems which is supposed to be read by general public without any age restriction. Dont tell me that boys and girls should know them in their early age. I accept but they should learn from teachers or from their parents who knows how to teach it as academic and not through such books. Moreover, i find lot of people using four letter words and harsh words in their posts and comments. Ofcourse, while those post in the face book are going to tell me that they are angry while the likes of Salma and Kutty Revathy say they are using it as they are liberated women without any inhibitions. Is this the way to show your anger or to say you are liberated? can't you convey your anger or being liberated with some other decent words? Or am i living in utopia, faar away removed from reality?‪#‎rskpolambals‬#
