Beautiful

You are beautiful. You the Indian woman looking at the computer screen, lost for a moment, your mind away from your conscious self judgement, yes, you are beautiful! And when you just smiled at my sentence, you take my breath away!

Contrary to what the fairness cream and age spot ads say, you are beautiful. You make the world a better place. Your presence alone is enough to make a dry drab place a home. You bring in warmth and sweetness and love and everything that the world needs.

When you see the mirror, you probably see the flab or the dark complexion and you decide you're not pretty. Ask me, or ask the men who take the effort to see the beauty in you. To them you're gorgeous. Isn't that what matters?

Don't compare your life to your neighbours. See the slim looking beauty across the road - she has mood swings and eating disorders. Her sense of importance is weighed by the weighing scale in her bathroom every morning.

See the woman with all the jwellery in the high class restaurant? Her husband is cheating on her and makes up for it by buying her things and giving her financial rewards. Do you believe she is truly happy?

Don't believe what the world says. It doesn't know a damn thing about you. Does the world know how cute you look when you make the duck face? Does the world know about how much you care for the homeless? Does the world know how much you have sacrificed for your brother?

The world sees beauty in a very narrow and hypocritical way. Ever see how the newspaper tabloids talk about the beautiful celebrity and also takes immense pleasure in trashing the very same celebrity with sleaze? That should ring a bell.

If there is ever a person you should convince about your beauty - it is yourself. Give yourself the credit you deserve. Take pride in yourself. The secret to being beautiful is simple. It requires you to wear a smile, carry a confidence that looks like you own the world and have faith in yourself.

Be yourself - you are beautiful.
