There was a girl in my Class. When she joined the batch she was a breath of fresh air. Full of smile, cheerful and with beautiful eyes. She was the epitome of energy and enthu. 2 months down the lane, she didn't come for a week.After a week when she entered the class everyone had a shock looking at her. Dark circles under the eyes, cheerful look turned into a skeleton looking dull face with bones sticking out and no smile. I couldn't hold myself and went and asked her.
Her answer shocked everyone in the class,'My boyfriend wants me to reduce weight'. He wants me to look like Kareena,'Size Zero'. What nonsense? How much of hardwork would have gone into making a kareena of size zero. But everyone thinks it can be obtained in a day. Myth or real but doesn't an average girl sans make up or artificiality look much better than the hot heroine with all the make-up. If a girl puts on little weight, immediate questions start coming on, what happened you seem to have put on weight? After childbirth its common girls put on weight but then again our neighbors and so called well wishers, 'when are you planning to reduce?' you look very fat. Who are these people to comment. What about all those beautiful flawless complexion and faces with beautiful features. Does that even count?
All the knowledge which these people are blessed with is not even taken into consideration. Kareena is not even a graduate. Do we allow our girls to stop education after high school and allow them to wear a bikini and roam? No way even that thought sends shivers down the spine. Then why these double standards... Grow up People. Learn to live and let live.
Lets break from this hipocracy and start accepting people the way they are and love them unconditionally.
