About the book

Without knowing why we came to this earth, we grow up and get married, have children and raise them as 'man and woman' - this goes on for years and generations. Where did the character of assessing male-female friendships based on one's physique come from? Knowingly or unknowingly, directly or indirectly, why do we continue to impose moral values on others? Are we belittling ourselves by imposing on others?

Hunger, sleep, sex - everything depends on the body and how normal it is. Why do we refuse to see them in their original nature? Wherever we lost the connection, we go out of character. That is the place where the prime seed of the "morality" tree is sown! It is only in finding it, correcting it, or rooting it out that we can properly approach the differences in characteristics of gender in today's children; we can repair it. Without knowing the body and its nature, what is the justification for ruling it with the thoughts of centuries of micro-politics embedded in it? How ironic is this? What is the justification for intruding into India-Sri Lanka's climate and body politics while living somewhere in the coldest countries? The climate/weather of a place should give us the body and the moral rules, without conflicting with each other. This is what we need to talk about, what we need to tell and discuss with our younger generation. The little seed that tries to do that is 'Ask Human'. Ask anything.
