Women, Beauty...

-
One one-side, we talk about women empowerment, about not objectifying women, about not considering women only the basis of their looks but also as intelligent, smart and successful beings equal to men, and yet we celebrate beauty pageant of women of all ages, sizes and shapes!

And what are these women - Rocket scientists? Surgeons? Accomplished academicians? Diplomats?

What do they do after winning in these 'beauty' competitions other than trying their luck in cinema, getting involved in 'social' and 'charity' works and launching their own line of fashion boutiques, and (lately) even getting into politics and become our ministers?

What's the actual message here?

Confusing!

I never thought Chickenpox was this bad. I'm having blisters even in my throat and that makes it too difficult to swallow... let alone anything solid, not even my own saliva. And there's this almost killing back pain and an altogether funny pain in my tummy that makes it almost impossible for me to sit upright and do just anything. The doctor has asked me to get hospitalised 'coz that way they can get some food in me through tubes and stuff. Ah! I think I'm gon'a get a hundred things to talk about in my blog. So, dear friends, I bid you all a goodbye till I'm back. I'll miss you all...

First of all, let me apologise for disappearing without any announcements. No. It was not my engagement or honeymoon. My internet connectivity was having her PMS or something, I guess, throwing tantrums and going on occasional mood trips and finally she shut down for good. And I think I don't have to tell you (women) more about how it is when you go through a PMS period, do I? Well, even if I had to, I wouldn't be able to 'coz I'm a guy and never had experienced such a thing in my 26 long years in this world. But someone has a different opinion! Guess, what? I was having a mailing session with a fellow blogger and after the customary "Hi! How are you?" mails, we got into a bit of personal details of our life. It's amazing how I'm making friends easily now-a days considering the very serious and faking-maturity-kind of a person that I used to be. Ever since I started blogging seriously since June of this year, I've made at least 3 or 4 friends wi

Hi All, I'm trying to make this post look like a personal mail to you all. This has been one of the most happiest days of all and since I cannot be sending a mail to all of you personally, I'd rather revert to this space where I can get you all together. I was feeling very blue today and decided to spend my evening at a bar where I can see real human beings around me. Now I don't mean to discredit the support that any of you have rendered me. But... Hope you can understand. I mean, how long can a person be happy with just virtual companions? So with the soul purpose of seeing real-life human beings, I walked into a bar and ordered a Haywards 5000 beer. That's my personal favourite since it is a strong one. I don't take any hard drinks unless the occasion is such. And I don't like to get drunk at any moment in my life. It really scares me to get drunk. I'd shamelessly confess this to you all. A couple of beers is enough to make me feel high and anything
