RANT/VENT 😤 Indian society needs a change
Why is public affection still treated like some kind of crime in India?
Every time my partner and I meet, something as simple as sharing a kiss or hugging each other tightly turns into a mission. Instead of just enjoying the moment, we're constantly looking for a private corner where we won't be judged, stared at, or interrupted.
And even when we finally find a quiet spot, there's always that one random uncle who suddenly appears out of nowhere and decides it's his responsibility to monitor our lives. We're not bothering anyone, we're not hurting anyone, yet somehow our existence becomes everyone's concern.
What's frustrating is that basic affection between two consenting adults is still seen as "inappropriate" by so many people. Meanwhile, staring, moral policing, and invading other people's privacy are somehow considered acceptable.
It's 2026. Maybe it's time we stopped acting like a couple sharing a kiss is a threat to society and started teaching people to mind their own business.
Not every hug is indecent. Not every kiss is obscene. Sometimes two people just miss each other and want to be close for a moment.
That's it. Let people live.
