Has Culture not progressed in this day and age.. is that still applicable today, I am surprised.

But I wonder now that you bring it up, is it inherent in our mental make up or was it a matter of poor self-esteem when I was growing up.

I remember my father who is not a traditionalist really, to correct my posture he made me put a thick book on my head to balance, thus keeping my head up to walk up and down the hall while keeping my shoulders pushed back.

A very interesting blog you have.

Culture does play a role, isn't it? Culture inherently shapes our nature, won't you agree?

I found the connection very interesting. Great thoughts, Sharmila.

Joy always,

hi, nice post and I totally agree on the shame bit.

by the way, did you know that accordingly to some, lower back pain is also associated with repressed wishes and desires for self? and if one is not allowing one's creative expression to come out sufficiently, it may impair the back?

why aren't you writing more? I like what you write.

OH my this is a bit complex...well, perhaps it's not so much a matter of "sticking the chest out as dropping the shoulders back and down in a relaxed way...sticking the chest out could give the appearance of arrogance (makes me think of obnoxious men)...and definitely forget about pulling your belly tight..if your shoulders are back and relaxed the rest of your spine will follow in an easy comfortable way. Your back will feel better and you can still be soft and "demure"....and really at our age, who cares about that!!! Well, then again I do live in a different society, but still.

Very interesting view point...no wonder people think I am arrogant!...it must be my posture and my character that refuses to stoop!

WOW wonderful post.. 2 points which I loved are:
1)In such an environment expenses such as sanitary napkins and brassieres are deemed as unnecessary and the bewildered girl child usually embraces her puberty not with a sense of pride at being at the thresh hold of womanhood but with a sense of shame.---- So true!!

2)The last paragraph---- I can see the difference between the women here in Europe and and in India and there are so much difference. Even I am trying to get used to the right posture..

Its also better to go for body massage-- and this is also not very common in India becasue its not "Indian culture" tp show off your body to a "stranger"..

Our posture tells a lot about our social conditioning. Very well written!

Improving posture is very important. I say this, as I am suffering from slip disk. It is not a good state to be in.

interesting perspective.
