It is said that Success doesn't come to you......you go to it. Quite true and somehow the way to Success goes through "Fair and Lovely" cream if you happen to be a girl...and worst of all with a dark complexion. Atleast that's what the ad claims.
Whether you want to be an Air-Hostess or a Pilot or a Dancer or a top-shot Executive you have to be Fair to be there. Unfortunate but quite true. We Indians are so obsessed and enchanted with the fair skin (this applies to me as well) that somehow our brain automatically refuses to accept dusky complexion to be "good enough".
Good Lord, as if that was not enough...now we also have "Fair and Handsome" for the men. Very Soon....we'll have all the Fair and Handsome men roaming around every street and corner...with finely tweaked eyebrows and Salon sparkling faces. And guess what would be the conversation b/w two guys:
Guy 1: Hey dude...where have you been all this time?
Guy 2: Arre yaar...I was in this salon the other day. I had an appointment for manicure and pedicure .

think I look prettier than her. Thanks to that new cream my Mom got for me.
Why can't guys be like guys....as if they are less annoying already , now they even want to compete women in the beauty business.

Oh come on guys back off. Go back being your orignal self. Afterall, thanks to the genetic constitution men are quite adept at annoying women in most of the age-old ways like : Never asking for help, especially when they really need it. Ditto for directions when they are lost . Scratching , spitting , belching and adjusting themself in public and at the same time being proud of their unique abilities. Remember that they are men. Therefore, no matter what, it wasn’t their fault.
Long Live our Fair and Handome men!!!
