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".
