Talking of sex and sexuality is still taboo in our country; why talk shows like OK Tested dealing openly with this (along with many other things) are essential.
There’s no dearth of YouTube channels which showcase brilliant and meaningful content. One of my absolute favourite is OK Tested. Produced by ScoopWhoop, they have various entertaining episodes to their credit – Like rating certain food items based on their taste and cost, identifying the types of beverages without seeing them.
What I really admire about the crew is the no-frills way in which they talk about sex. I remember vividly an episode which revolved around finding out the flavours of the condom while being blindfolded. In fact, cast members like Tenzing and Rohit have openly talked about their sexual encounters.
A couple of days back, I chanced upon an episode on YouTube. It was part of an ongoing series titled ‘Out of Syllabus’.
This particular chapter #8 was about ‘The Things No One Told Us About S3X Ft. Dr Cuterus’. I sat through the entire duration of 30 minutes, spellbound, undergoing a myriad of emotions.
I can go on. But my intention is not to write a review on the episode.
There is more awareness now when it comes to sexuality. But as Dr Cuterus says, there’s no proper degree for doctors in ‘these matters’. Even now, people use terms like aisi baatein (these things) for such topics. No wonder shady quacks who offer gupt rog ke ilaj flourish in our country.
In a country of a burgeoning population, we need to up the ante and walk the talk. Prejudices must be driven away. For these very reasons, I admire OK Tested. I’m sure there must be other channels. Do let me know about your favourite channel.

I wanted to scream with excitement that my daughter chose to write about her ambition and aspirations over everything else first. To me, this was one of those parenting 'win' moments.
My daughter turned eight years old in January, and among the various gifts she received from friends and family was an absolutely beautiful personal journal for self-growth. A few days ago, she was exploring the pages when she found a section for writing a letter to her future self. She found this intriguing and began jotting down her thoughts animatedly.
My curiosity piqued and she could sense it immediately. She assured me that she would show me the letter soon, and lo behold, she kept her word.
I glanced at her words, expecting to see a mention of her parents in the first sentence. But, to my utter delight, the first thing she had written about was her AMBITION. Yes, the caps here are intentional because I want to scream with excitement that my daughter chose to write about her ambition and aspirations over everything else first. To me, this was one of those parenting ‘win’ moments.
Uorfi Javed has been making waves through social media, and is often the target of trolls. So who and what exactly is this intriguing young woman?
Uorfi Javed (no relation to Javed Akhtar) is a name that crops up in my news feeds every now and again. It is usually because she got trolled for being in some or other ‘daring’ outfit and then posting those images on social media. If I were asked, I would not be able to name a single other reason why she is famous. I am told that she is an actor but I would have no frankly no clue about her body of work (pun wholly unintended).
So is Urfi Javed (or Uorfi Javed as she prefers) famous only for being famous? How does she impact the cause of feminism by permitting herself to be objectified, trolled, reviled?
