They say only unsuccessful are the ones who delve into spiritual stuff,

For they are too busy doing what they are good at,

True?

Well, let us look at the likes of Amitabh Bacchan, Shahrukh Khan, Sachin Tendulkar,

Yes,

They did what they were good at or became good at,

But haven’t they followed certain religious and spiritual fundamentals in their life,

Be it taking the first shot at a particular time on a movie set,

To

Wearing the right or the left pad first as a batsman in a cricket match,

No matter what S stands for in your life,

I guess spiritually forms such a core part of our lives,

Be it the successful or the not so successful ones,

That we all tend to delve or seek refuge in the same!

So, what does S stand for in your lives?

Aashiqui!

There was a time when movies like Darr, Anjaam and Baazigar saw Shahrukh Khan in a negative role,

Desperately seeking love from a particular girl,

Going to extreme extents,

Resorting to hideous ways,

and

Guess what,

It used to be a rage among youngsters,

Many getting influenced,

Few even adopting behaviors and ways of the man who would do anything to get his girl,

Possibly resulting in increased delinquency,

Movies have always had a big influence in many a lives,

Both in our conscience and subconscious,

Especially,

In the minds of the kids who happen to get exposed to such,

Aashiqui, as it is, is not such a bad thing,

If both the parties involved share the same emotions,

Though one needs to learn when to back off,

In case either party involved has different priorities,

Guess,

With increased influence of social media, movies and video games,

There is a dire need to make the foundations of this society even stronger,

To enable one to do aashiqui in the right manner!

“Oh! the boys in our house don’t really cook!”

You must have heard this somewhere around you,

May be in movies

or

Some tv soap opera depicting the kind of Indian society we live in,

What if the household work was taught to each and every kid,

Be it a son or a daughter,

As if it were a part of daily life,

Similar to let’s say brushing your teeth,

If it were to happen,

Don’t you think the very issue about who does what in a household would be sorted?

After all, relationships have come down to give and take,

Don’t you think it would take care of the give and take?

and

Maybe one could go beyond this and focus upon other aspects of what a relation could end up meaning!

Whether it was done for our generation or not is a topic for another day,

But what we can do, we should do,

And someone once told me:

Everyday is a good day to start! So what are you waiting for? Oh, by the way if you are wondering what that L represents, it’s love!

Cosmetic Surgery: Is it Ethical to do so?

Posted on by

Yesterday, I was having this conversation with a very gorgeous friend of mine, and she was telling me about the various surgeries that have been done by actresses in Bollywood, which have made them look quite beautiful. According to her, it was a totally inappropriate thing to do not only because it might have certain side effects but also because she considered it totally unethical on the part of actresses to show audiences something which is not true or natural.

After she left, I tried mulling over the same. My first thought was that, girls can be jealous, so may be she was just being a girl. But on second thoughts, she talked about being ethical and non-ethical, and I had to solve this mystery behind ethics.

The analysis started from the thought as to why girls would want to be beautiful? May be because it is quite cherished in our society and people like meeting and seeing beautiful people. Guys get attracted to girls in big time if the girl is gorgeous and sensuous, so that seems like quite a logical reason as to why girls would want to look sexy and hot.

In case of actresses, who are also girls and are in the business not only because they can act but also because they add tremendous glamor quotient to a movie. In fact, in lot of movies we have seen that actresses have very little role and what they end up doing is either performing a really sensuous song or just making the movie glamorous. This indeed gives some of the actresses, who are not very beautiful naturally or do not have a well-toned body/curves, a reason to go for Cosmetic surgeries or for Botox etc.

Now whether this is ethical or not depends on how you perceive it to be. Does it amount to giving audiences a fake show of what is not real? After all make-up does the same thing to a woman and when that is not considered unethical then why should a thing like cosmetic surgery should be considered unethical?

As far as the Bollywood business is concerned, they are there to make money and as they say “Sex Sells“, so they make sure that the actress in their movie look as pretty as possible. So, indeed the act of an actress going for cosmetic surgery is a reflection of the demands of our society towards film makers and this demand is passed on to the actresses who, in order to be popular and successful, find solace in the cosmetic surgery. After all, it’s about the demands of a society.

Do you think actresses should go for cosmetic surgery in order to enhance their beauty on and off-screen? (Let us know)
