THE CART FULL OF HUSK

50 shades of "WHITE"

Similarities Spotted? Everyone requires beautiful, FAIR/VERY FAIR bride. How about marrying a well decorated Tube Light, very convenient idea..Right?! I had never been "fair" and hence was always teased for NOT being "One of Them" both in school and locality. I started building complex and was ashamed of myself. I was so desperate that I was ready to take up anything to be fair, so that people won't shove my off, so that I would become "One of Them". Ranging from home remedies to all possible cosmetics, from parlor to fairness creams, I literally followed all possible  QUICK FAIRNESS TRICKS  and end up looking like Dissembler. As years passed, I realized looks,complexion and external beauty are the phenomena that are vital exclusively air-headed people.

Last night’s event shook me from within. “Who bought her here?”-Shouted a women shrieking voice, enough to make people near-by go deaf. Pitch high enough to give complex to an Opera singer. “I am here to attend my best friend’s marriage. She invited me.” Said the girl in low defensive voice. By now, people gathered around the two. “Don’t you understand my daughter invited you out of courtesy? You yourself should not have come here. You have Lung Cancer and it is highly communicable, especially for those who breathe in same air.” I saw people covering their nose and stepping back muttering among themselves that how insensitive and careless she is towards other member of society.
