WAKE UP GALS!!!!!!!!!!







Gudmorning gals wake up….just when I was thinking about adding something to this blog I happened to flip through the TV for a few minutes. I noticed a very strange pattern among the shows on all channels developed recently..Be it the so called ‘reality shows’ or regular soaps or any music videos. All of them are ‘decorated’ with the skimpily clad model like girls. Practically these girls do not seem to be exposing their acting potential but rather something else…

I am a girl of the next century not a granny from the 80’s..... I am an admirer of modern clothing myself but the point to put on focus is ‘stop selling yourself girls realize your strength , realize your true worth and bring it before the world to see..

People want recognition and fame. Media whets their appetite for it. Then follows the vicious circle of desiring more and more. So media goes on providing the same. The girls in some videos merely stand and smile while the hero goes on and on with the dialogues and dancing and everything to be the next superstar. Why can’t girls have their share unless they become some big name? Leaving a few exceptions all are treated the same. Why can’t married heroines be acceptable and married stars like Hritik and SRK rule the industry?

Through aggressive advertising the beauty industry has been very successful in convincing women of the ‘Ideal Woman’ myth. It has made the woman’s body into a commodity which should meet a standard i.e. of queen’s. Every woman desires to look beautiful, sensuous and she feels insecure if she does not meet this standard. Perhaps this insecurity persuades women to buy beauty aids with often false claims of "removing wrinkles", "changing skin complexion" or "making one fair". But there is the other side of the woman, the true woman in picture.

Hard earned money that could have been spent on nourishing food to bring on a natural healthy look is used for buying artificial blushes and skin nourishers. These artificial aids only worsen the condition if a woman’s general health is bad. Women’s groups and activists are objecting mainly to the ‘commodification’ of women as sex objects. "Women should be free to decide which beauty products to use. They should not be conditioned by advertising and a beauty contest culture.
Women is beautiful when she is the successful entrepreneur, the hardworking teacher, the simple housewife,the maid,the sweet school girls..all are the examples of unparallel beauty as their true worth and beauty lies in the everyday things they do..

So its time to stand up and tell everyone “kudiyon jaisi koi nahi…………….

  1. Hope we have more people like you .. unless the 50% of Indian people ie. Womens aren't aware of their rights, it would be very difficult for India to regain its past glory and to move beyond it
