Ugly, Why be Pagli?

The womankind is divided into 2 simple parts- those who look good, and those who WANT to look good. (Caution to the readers- if you belong to the latter category, don’t get disheartened read on. Also read my blog on women empowerment; that ought to make you happy!) Now the ones who are hot have it all-a good boyfriend, a great career, and above all, and they get a lot more attention from the humankind in general. If you observe their life closely, everything can be traced back to their looks. They pass in their exams thanks to their male teachers; they get promoted real fast, thanks to their male bosses; they get to break queues for a movie theater too, thanks to the men again. And they lament relentlessly about living in a man’s world. Had it not been a man’s world, these women would not have clambered the ladder of success with such ease!

Whereas on the other hand, the girls who want to look good are generally the slackers. I know this may sound harsh, but if you are a girl, not an ugly one, but just a plain-jane, have you gotten lesser attention even within your close-friend circle, than your other ‘fairer’ female-counterparts? So they start their efforts in ‘making-up’ for what the genes failed to do! These girls are the biggest consumers of cosmetics all around the world. If they are rich, then they are the most gullible of all fashion victims, and they think buying designer wear is a long-term investment. The war doesn’t end here! They are always in cahoots against the hot girls, and are constantly slandering those poor souls’ names. I mean how can all the hot girls be bi***es? If the gorgeous ones get a boyfriend, these unlucky ones call them sl**s; if they reduce weight in an extremely short span of time, the fat ones bicker about them going under the knife. They have excuses for everything and are generally dissatisfied souls. And I don’t blame these women-imagine being subjected to a lifetime of deprecation! They actually deserve to do a lot more derisive and diabolical things, but then life is not fair! In fact it is less than fair for these ugly bettys.

The real problem comes when these women from the lower rungs want to rise higher. Their first step towards achieving that-play hard to get with the guys; the second one-smother yourself in so much make-up that you resemble a porcelain geisha; the third and the ‘ugliest’-skin show. Now time for some veritaserum- 1^st don’t play hard-to-get, you will only get disappointed as no guy will come running after you, except for some loser (but if you are that desperate, then you go gal!). 2^nd make-up is like salt in food, it’s one of the ingredients (that too in a small amount), not the entire main course. 3^rd, well, it might just work sometime, I mean living in a male-dominated society, remember!

So here is the real deal. Watch Ugly Betty and learn from her that being in your skin at all times is important- whether you look good or bad (or plain ugly). Cleopatra wasn’t beautiful either, but she ruled the Nile. Kajol almost looked like Shahrukh, it was like 2 men acting together in Baazigar, but she touched the hearts of millions. Still not getting it? Well, the key is to remain true to yourself! So what if you are ugly, you will do just fine, even better. Just don’t be a Pagli, trying to be something that you are not!

What Sells?

I was wondering all day today (thanks to the unexpected response and I hope increases even more!) what should I do that could grab eyeballs. Had I belonged to the fairer sex (and more importantly had I been endowed graciously), it would have been a cakewalk. Had I been a charismatic marketing genius, I could have probably plagiarized something, could have made it look like mine and it would have sold like hot cakes. But the question still remained-WHAT SELLS?

Well, Neha Dhupia said “Sex and SRK”. I say “Sex, SRK and Sensationalism”. SRK might not be apt considering that he looks like an old hag these days and yet dons a spandex costume for his upcoming film.  Something still tells me that he will be around for a couple of more years thanks to his chocolate hero days.

Sex is for everyone. And yes, I do mean it. It was a thing of past to talk in hushed tones about sex. Now it is in vogue. If you are hot, if you are on top (Pun intended) then you propel yourself harder and climax with a greater success (pun intended). You see a deodorant add with has nothing to do with the fragrance but has everything to do with Sex Quotient. Everyone wants to be sexy these days. The ugliest chick and the dumbest guy too aspires to be someone’s object of lust (affection is 19^th century.)

Sensationalism is Rakhi Sawant, Sambhavana Seth, Dolly Bhindra, Mika Singh all rolled into one. They talk nonsense and do something that a normal person would shy away from doing in the confines of his living room. People love to watch others making fools out of themselves. And people deserve it-after a long day’s work you like to come home to Rakhi Sawant yelling someone to look into her eyes and not at her plunging neck line. Cleverly, Rakhi got the entire nation to look at everything except her eyes.

I hope that I will put all the 3 ingredients and dish out every post with the same jest. Good night for now. Had a very little time to write this. The challenge to write everyday is Challenging. But keep reading and be safe (yet again, pun intended :-P).
