Does a Women's Scent and Odor attract a Man

Can a woman's aroma or scent attract a man.Frankly I don't know, but I attended a party at my friends private place in Singapore. He told me had planned a novel party. I went alone as usual and found about 15 girls and 15 men for the party. The host announced that he was going to have a game. He wanted all the men to write their data along with a photo on a page and he announced that this data and photo would be displayed on a screen.

he also announced that the girls would give their T shirts which would be put in a an open cardboard box. the men were to smell the T-shirt and decide whether he would like to pair up with the girl. His bio would be flashed and the girl had the option to decide whether she wanted to pair with him. It was a novel game and I picked up a few T Shirts and finally I liked one smell and held it up. The girl to whom it belonged could see it. My bio was flashed and I waited. Would the girl accept me? I was delighted when a girl from Manila working in Singapore walked up to me and shook my hand.. She was petite, very fair and looked lovely in a mini skirt. We hit off excellently. I understand similar parties are held in New York and Mumbai. Perhaps a woman's scent does have a meaning.

During the Raj: One Dollar was Equal to one Rupee

The Raj is one period in Indian history that has a flavor of its own.The Raj refers to the period of British rule in India. It is a debatable whether the Raj was good or bad, but all institutions in India from Banks to army and railroads to hill stations is a product of the Raj. In fact the Raj made a united India which had not existed for 2000 years.

A point that is not much discussed but should not be ignored is the value of the Rupee vis a vis the Dollar. In 1947 when the British left India one Dollar was equivalent to one Rupee. Thus the Dollar and Rupee were at par. Now the the exchange rate is lopsided and one Dollar is almost equal to 60 Rupees. How has this down slide occurred ? Scholars may like to study about it. Was the economy during the Raj better ? How has this down slide occurred?

Islam and the concept of celestial Virgins

One of the beliefs that emerges from the Koran is the concept of virgins. These virgins reside at the gates of heaven. The Koran further says that these virgins who are referred as houris or hurs will be the reward to the faithful who have spent a lifetime in service of Allah. Chapters 52 to 56 of the Koran mention about these virgins. The Koran only mentions about these virgins,but does not specify any number.

 This lacuna is filled by the Hadiths, which specify that the reward for a true follower of Islam will be rewarded with 72 virgins as wived. The Hadiths are the recorded words of Muhammad and also have great religious significance. The Hadiths which are six in number were compiled about 200 years after the death of the Prophet. Thus the importance of the Hadiths cannot be underrated. The Hadiths are supposed to be the exact quotations of the prophet. The Koran describes the houris. They are very beautiful and fair. They are perpetual virgins and have the god given quality of regenerating their hymens after intercourse. The houris are also buxom and breasts that do not sag. They are hairless except for eyebrows and head. They are reward for the faithful, who have either been martyred or spent a life time obeying the injunctions of Allah. Houris await the faithful at the gates of Paradise.

The Hadiths mention that the sweat of these virgins has the smell of musk and they will give eternal love and satisfaction. They will be in addition to the wives on this earth. The Koran also mentions that an unspecified number of boys will also be rewarded to the true believers. This belief in the Houris and the boysis sacred and cannot be questioned.

Remembering "The Bodys Rapture" a Novel by Jules Romain

I had a look at my collection and took out an old book by Jules Romain. It is a lovely book of ethereal sex and worth re-read.Jules Romains was a French writer who wrote in French. he made a profound impact in the field of literature and also won the Nobel prize for Literature. Jules Romains wrote many books but his story of transcendental love " The Body's rapture" is par excellence. it is a deeply emotional love story where the heroine of the novel appears before her lover thousands of miles away on a ship completely naked. What follows are some of the most beautiful pages in literature.

The writer devotes an entire chapter to describing the breasts of his love and how he pays homage to them with his lips as he circumnavigates them with his tongue and then goes on to kiss the most feminine of her flesh.

 The book for long was banned in the USA. The language is excellent and Jules Romains engrosses the reader. The book is a lovely love story and Jules deserves credit for writing it. Thh book is available on Amazon and one can buy it in case one wants to read it. Jules wrote many books , but for me "the Body's rapture" is his best work

Are Nude Paintings for the Pleasure of Men

Introduction My uncle Parduman Singh was a painter. He painted prodigiously, but died a pauper, unsung and un- heralded. He was a contemporary of Hussain, but that is where the comparison ended. My uncle painted nudes and conditioned my thinking on this aspect of painting. Later I saw the nudes of Dali, Edgar Degas, Monet and others and realized that painting a nude woman is nothing more than what she would appear to a male

Painting a Nude Woman; the Ethos In any painting a woman is on display for a man who ultimately has the power over her. As an example a look at the paintings of Degas especially after the bath (woman drying herself) shows a woman to a male viewer who spies on the woman in her most private moments. He invades her space in a way that allows the viewer to feel as though he deserves to look at her and that she would not be positioning herself the way she is if he were not watching her. This confirms Berger’s theory that the woman will behave in a way that suggests that she knows someone is watching her and it is her duty to make a mundane task as sexual as possible for his pleasure. The Realist Movement

Thus hordes of painters especially after the realistic movement emerged in the 19th century painted women in the nude as they look in their natural form complete with hair. This is basically for the man and a women being painted knows that her portrait in the nude is an exhibition for a man. Gustave Courbet’s L’Origine du Monde is a classic example. it is displayed below
