Selfies, mascara, crop tops and being beautiful is all the parameters that women around me are obsessed with. Wonder what happened to learning skills that could be educational and sustainable. It’s a man world out there for the very reason that they care more in life than vanity. No, I ain't an outcast nor am I a self-proclaimed teacher who is questioning your way of life. But, I do believe there is much more out there to add to a personality than painting it with chemicals in the name of winning ego wars under the belief of marketers who happen to be preying on fools like us; some of these smart marketers would never even wear any of those chemicals on their skin, thank you! You have been warned.
Obviously there is importance to beauty, or else the world would have been just testosterone war. But, beauty with brains are becoming as scarce as natural energy and depleting daily. Measures, you ask? Well, add some real skill below that skin of yours. Heard of Mary Kom? Yes, she didn't put on make-up but she can do that with equal ease and knock someone down with a straight too. Don’t start wielding a boxing glove, but with the situation we are in, I don’t mind you all gearing up for Judo or Kick-boxing classes. It will not only help you understand your body better but can be really helpful in building core strength and also opening the jar which is stuck. Also, apparently knowing numbers was a male thing. Really? Shakuntala Devi is my answer to that. I bet she knew nothing about the fad, but everything about calculus.
I am neither denouncing the mother who works and/or a homemaker or saying their skill is any less, but if we don’t make most of the opportunities or get inspired by these stories, I bet we have lost the saneness already. This also leads to the trivial problem which lies in clingy dating. Women become so dependent on the ‘other half’, they forget their own goals. When in a relationship, we tend to lose our individuality.
The point is, your first wrinkle would appear and life will happen, sooner than you think. Beauty fades when it’s on the skin. Develop the person within.
Elevate your achievements to such a height that they bow down with respect.
Truth be told, the female kind is the nicest among the lot. We give up too easily, sometimes for our parents and mostly for ‘4 log kya kahenge’. Fight! Nothing comes easy. You don’t necessarily have to be physically strong to stop a man from messing with you. True, we have to grab the inches for everything; yet stand and explain to re-validate ourselves.
Here’s a fun fact- Bullet proof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers & laser printers were all invented by women. Surprised much? So ladies, let’s go out there & make these accomplishments on a frequent basis. Be beautiful, be intelligent.
