finally back to bloggin ...and basically I could'nt really think of a good title...Anyways many things  have happened through this week that kinda got me thinking about the  whole good looks debate...You know I have written off people depending  on how theie looks are, but then again being the kindof ugly Betty that I  am, i have absolutly no right doing so...I mean is it anybody's fault  that they look a particular way or the kindof complexion they have  ...and I dont really remember being given a choice when I was "up above  the world so high", about how i wanted to look or the shade I wanted as  my complexion, although a Penelope Cruz look would have made al the  difference in my life...so anyways getting on with the ethical debate,  I'd like to ask "doesnt your nature and your intrinsic worth that is for  stays in the long run..For Pete's sake people one gory accident in your  life and you can see the whole course of your life changing making all  your foolish pride break into pieces...I mean atleast try and see things  from the other side as well... i don't think a lighter complexion or a  higher cheek bone or a roman nose would make a trifle difference to the  company you've been enjoying, okey at the first instant probably it does  but after you start talking probably you become oblivious to all flaws.  All of this probably is just euphemism on my part and my way of saying  the grapes are sour..but what the heck it keeps my life going. By  discriminating against people depending on their skin tone our we not in  a way propounding strains of Apartheid? Fairness creams continue to be  an instant sell out, while the western nations (whoes trends we so  hopelessly try and emulate) go in for the tanned look. I sometimes look  into the mirror and wonder, whether my being a lil more fairer or darker  complexioned (if thers a word) would make so much of a difference to my  life, I don't think so inspite of whatever shade my skin tone falls  into, I will continue to have the best set of friends I could have ever  asked for, the best parents, a whole and healthy body...What more on  earth can I ask for??? Probably its easy on my part to say looks dont  matter and everything but when you actually are involved in such a  imbroglio, my stance would probably change and I'd probably see all such  ideals shaking...but all in all the trick lies in accepting yourself  the way you are, although at times it does become a horrendous  task....In the end always remember
"you are always more than what meets the blinking eyes"
