The other day I had left my home early and was on my way to work.I saw this puerile damsel a pillion rider carrying stuff which included laptop and rucksack on her back.It was monday morning.Must be she was on her way to office directly.It was sure that she was working girl.We drove side by side for almost 4 kms and then bike zoomed somewhere into oblivion.The noveau riche lass epitomizing to be an ambassador of best of the cosmetics brands was so carefree about the pollutants and dust on the road.These cosmetic companies with their campaigns which has creeped into the minds of young ones that they do all to prevent their skin from pollution(Loreal's mineral to match any skin type),sunlight(Garnier to prevent those shades of black beneath your eyes).So much care of skin,body!!a divine attribute of complete perfection.Sometimes its supererogate and gives a feeling of mortification of beauty.A trenchancy to the quote of philospher Lao-tzu:
"When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty,
There arises the recognition of ugliness.
When they all know the good as good,
There arises the recognition of evil."
Love this quote! Has so many implications to ponder on.
