Makeups and Makeovers..

Nowadays, we have become more sensitive and cautious towards our reel life. We are keen in talks and chats in digital platform than meeting our well-wishers. On one hand where the Internet has proven to be a boon to the society, but on the other hand it has also become major cause for social distancing. Digitisation was never bad, in fact; it has tremendously changed the society. Its true that every invention has its own pros and cons but it’s we, who have to restrict technology to master our lives. 

With evolution of technology, software applications (apps) gained its popularity. It has penetrated in our lives like a pathogen, resulting in diminished IQ levels. We have stopped acknowledging the beauty we are surrounded in, have stopped living those beautiful moments. In this era of technology, those special moments are confined only to mobiles and laptops. We are gradually losing our originality and ethics.

We are not only bluffing with the society but also with ourselves. We are least patient and want everything to happen in the blink of our eyes. And I really feel that women are the most influenced ones. They click pictures and spend three-hours editing to look perfect. Instead, if we spend time in grooming ourselves and work for enhancing our inner beauty with yoga, exercise or self-introspection, then it will be much more beneficial for our personal as well as professional life. Nevertheless, we are very much pleased with our edited pics and enhanced skin tone. 

Women alone are not to be blamed, but the real mastermind is the fashion industry. They are selling fancy, unreal dreams. It has been ingrained in our mindset in such a way that the quality of a person is judged only by their looks and skin tone. It's not that I am against fashion or makeovers, but things are to be done sensibly. If beauty and skin tone is the only quality to be judged with, then Zoribini Tunzi from South Africa would never have been crowed Miss Universe 2019. It is rightly said"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." We are the best creations of God, and we should respect his beautiful creativity. Criticising someone’s looks or body shaming is like finding mistakes in the creation of the almighty. Just for self-assessment, scroll down your Facebook page. What did you observe? Saree challenge...getting viral among women. All of them are looking pretty and beautiful draped in that 5 meter cloth. Women of every shape and size, of different caste and creed, of various skin tones. All are beautiful in their own way. We have to change our perception for development and betterment of oneself and the society.

...I don't intend to offend anyone, it's just my opinion.

  1. Yes, aditi. You aptly analysed the psychofancies of flaunting human race. There is beauty in the eyes of admirer and not the objects. All these are hijacked by technological newbies. We should rebalance, otherwise something else will happen and nature will automatically claim its space in its new domain.
