A Time For Nothing
Sunday 20 November 2011
How far can you go
How wild can you dream
How high can you jump
How deep can you dive
How fast can you run
How long can you sleep
How much can you eat
How happy can you be
The list will never cease to grow.
There is a time and place for everything.
But do I really need to know?
That there ain’t a time for nothing.
Indians Are Obsessed With Fairness
Thursday 10 November 2011
One fine morning, curiosity inspired me to waste some time
by scanning the advertisements in the Weddings section of the newspaper. After
5 minutes, I found a not-so-surprising similarity in all the adverts. Everyone
wanted a ‘fair’, ‘good-looking’, ‘good-complexion’ woman. There wasn’t a single
advert without a specification of that kind.
And I wondered…
What about all the women who are not ‘fair’, do not have a ‘good
complexion’, and hence, cannot be classified as ‘good-looking’ by the confused Indian
multicultural society.
Questions flooded my mind – Is fairness a primary and
necessary trait for a beautiful woman? If someone is fair, but not good
looking, is she considered good looking? If someone is good looking, but not
fair, is she considered good looking?

Yeah I know the above line doesn’t make any meaning. Never
mind. Let us move on.
So what was I talking about?
Yeah.
