Pooja Mehra, 28 believe the net is a valuable source of information. "Yes, chat is great I am addicted to chat. I have my chat friends and its exhilirating talking to them. I flirt a lot but I find porn disgusting. The worst thing is that every cyber room you enter, you'll find these ghastly 'porn' conversations. I find it very uncomfortable.

However Anju R. on grounds of anonymity claimed very honestly "I enjoy cyber sex especially with younger guys in their twenties. It revitalizes me. Gets me out of the horrible humdrum life. I'm in. I actually look forward to talking to my partners. I feel great and also, physically I've been faithful to my husband so I feel I haven't done anything wrong." She argues vehemently that cyber sex is not cheating on her husband at all.

I enjoy non-veg jokes or soft sexual talk. But when it gets too much then I click off, claims Ruby Fernandez. What is soft sex? We queried?" You know flirting and all that. We ask her to elaborate on … all that, which she blushingly refuses.

Indians, we believe, do not like talking about sex. Untrue, many Indians comprising of both men and women indulge in cyber sex. What reassures them is the cloak of anonymity that they can wear around them. It makes them feel invincible, almost as if they can do anything or say or make any promises, with no one to judge.

"Come on its just time pass. Its not meant to be made an issue of. It's just plain fun between consenting people. So what's all this hueand cry about? Does it make any difference that its flirting, soft sex, porn whatever … its just plain unadulterated enjoyment," argues Shilpa Bose, a lawyer (?) whose a frequent 'net browser'.

The net has made the world a global village. Information on any thing is in the open and so is sex. Nor more a taboo but something that is flaunted openly and provocatively … for all to see.

"Who wants to marry a millionaire" this season, Americans top grosser in television was more other than the hit serial 'Who wants to marry a millionaire' produced by fox. This programme had a unique formula; they had a millionaire 'Rick Rockwell and they advertised for women of all kinds, shapes and sizes to be the ideal woman for the 'millionaire' to marry. The show went on day after day with women taking part in a contest to marry Mr. Rockwell. It ended with a grand final in which 34 years old Delearoh Kendor, a gulf nurse marries the millionaire. However that's not exactly the finale… the marriage ended unconsummated. The couple is to be divorced albeit Ms Rockwell a bad weathier.

So how many Indian women would go in for a show like this. Would women apply for 'future Mrs. Millionaires' post keeping in view of Indian traditions and culture. Would the show run or would it be a flop?

"I don't know, may be a show with such a unique formula would click. It's definitely unusual. And you say women won gifts and prizes worth lakhs. I don't think we have a show worth that much. See I am actually analyzing clearly from the point of view of a producer," claims Ms. Uma Sinha a top television producer belonging to a production house. "We may not get sponsors".

Okay, I think it may work in India but no I won't enter any show like this. Look I don't watch television as I find it very frivolous. The idea seems unique but no I won't enter any such show, "claims Seema Kapoor, a housewife.

"A real live millionaire. Wow yeah sure I'd go in for it. I mean winning gifts etc and to top it all, the icing on the cake, getting a millionaire," enthuse Reema Vaidya, a student. But she hastily adds "I don't think my mom would like it."

"See we take marriages pretty seriously here. The concept of the programme seems very frivolous. It's like making a mockery of our values. We are modern enough but I don't think we've reached a point where we make a mockery of marriage, analyses Pinky Mistry, an advertising copywriter.

'Who wants to marry a millionaire?' looks like in India most women would forgo the pleasure. So Rick Reekwell, the millionaire can forget the idea of having an Indian wife from India… for some time at least.
