When is this perception going to change, I hope in this lifetime (nahi toh main kunwari hi reh jaoongi) I don’t want to go through few more reincarnations only to be born again in India to find that I still do not qualify as beautiful. Mommy tells me, you meet so many guys, why don’t you find somebody (to get married that is, nobody is lost here). I say but mommy I am not beautiful cause I am not fair, she will never agree to this according to her I am the prettiest girl in the world, love her for that. Alright lets not sidetrack lest this post becomes a melodramatic mother daughter love saga.
I tell mom but mom nobody likes a dark girl, haven’t you seen the Fair & lovely, FairGlow, Fairever, Freschia, Vicco Turmeric ads and the latest entry from Shehnaz Hussian’s kitty. (she i.e Shehnaz Hussain desperately needs a makeover, how long can somebody go around looking like a henna haired bear) Mom will argue but you were born fair. Mum it’s been decades since I was born thanks to the exposure to the harmful rays of the sun I am now melanin challenged. If only you had barred me from stepping out of the house and not allowed me to hop around like a tomboy today I would be pale as death, but at least fair and beautiful. Even if a guy would like me his mother will reject me outright, what if her pota-potis are born dark, nopes she cannot take such a risk. Aakhir aane wali generations ka sawaal hai.
In the face of such conclusive proof that only fair is beautiful mom doesn’t argue anymore.

Awwww.... c'mere... lemme give you a hug
whoever said fair is beautiful hasn't seen Bipasha Basu, Nandita Sen, Rani Mukherjee... and your favorite Kajol... Oh, c'mon, times have changed... you don't need a guy who is hung on to his mummy's pallu and wants to marry a "Fair and beautiful" girl. Ask him to go suck a lemon, then tie a stone to his neck and take a dip in the ganges.
You deserve better my dear.
Reserve your hugs for Dim, and u think something like my post will happen with me.
And whoever said fair is beautiful hasn't seen Bipasha Basu, Nandita Sen, Rani Mukherjee and Bhagyalaxmi :D
Yoo Hoo... he he he... there are only two stunning women in the world.... you and me he he he
what a self complimenting pair I should say ;-)
if all they are interested is the outer package, they belong in a mall not in a home.. and least of all worth a thought from our end..
ehhy bhgya.. i remember sometime back.. ur introduction on ur blog read.. ..with brownish brown eyes, brownish black hair and brownish brown skin. bananewale ne bhi kya cheez banaayi hai.. waah..!! or something on these lines.. i dont recall the words exactly.. but i must say i liked the girl who was ((and i hope still is..)) in love with herself.. but then one fine day i noticed that this line had disappeared.. well i wondered but did not delve further into it.. and then again somedays later.. today.. u come up with this post..!!
anyways.. honestly speaking.. our society still has to evolve into mindsets even now.. but whatever, for Me.. the most beautiful lady in hollywood is salma hayek.. and no blonde and aapro bollywood mein no one rules the eyesights as ((madhubala remains a forever love..)) but now sonali kulkarni..!!
cheers.. re.. and id like to see that banaanewale ne bhi kya khub banaaya hai.. back there..!! :-)
@Me.. - I had mentioned Hats Off to the creator. Lol I never thot anybody had even noticed it. Sonali Kulkarni I like too. Agreed Salma Hayek is very pretty.
And this post is just a spoof on all those fairness cream ads only I have made myself the central character. See I just love myself. :-)Me and my mother in reality will never argue about such things. My mom is one cool dudette.
@Dreams - thats a very innovative idea, such ppl. do deserve to live in a mall or more precisely put there for entertainment.
@Pulse - Well when nobody else compliments us we have to resort to such self complimenting methods.
While its true that many people are still hung up on 'fair' skin, infact there are a lot of people to whom it really doesnt matter.
@A Chrysanthemum by any other name... - yes thats true.
ehh rock re ladki..!! :-)
Come on...You cant say that...Skin color is so not important....And any guy or Mother-in-law (to be) who thinks that only fair skin is good...should get their heads examined...!
Marketing Created hype...
this post hit me hard..ah cmon bhagya..fair skin hypes are yester years..havent u heard beauty is skin deep and is nothing related to fairness and stuff!!
and only a guy must like u and not his mother..if the guys goes by his mother's words..then he is spineless! he doesnt deserve a marriage!!
arre i thot 'saanwali saloni' was the in thing :P
is bhagya not in office today..??
Bhagya is very much in office. She is busy racking her brains over "The mystery of the missing book that disappeared from my table" (too long a title, I know!)
@rusty - It was just a funny take on the ads. And one of the most loved scripts in this ads is always abt. how a girl is rejected by a prospective groom and then she uses the magical cream and becomes fair. And I have seen some such ppl. though no personal experiences, they are not worth thinking about.
AakASH!!! - tell me about it and even in this age they are still stuck with the same idea, time they grow up.
godolphin - Hey godolphin dont take it to ur heart, its just a joke and such ppl. donot cross my path. And checkout the reply to @rusty's comment.
phew...
good bhagya...
u must have put a disclaimer..he he he.
