Having spent last 5 years of my life in Sub-Metros and Videsh and being a congenital B-tier city girl; I finally gather my bits of courage to chalk down my thoughts. A trend turned into “Matter of Fact” today suggests lookism appeals for greater footage. Agreed! Before putting up my final draft, I did exchange few articulations with "The Webster"
Donning a tang top, using slangs like fillers, beautifying my ankle with a dragon tattoo, carrying the latest handset in my Baggit – fetch me “Cool Chic” tag. Wearing a Biba salwar , Soch kurti, Kolhapurislip-ons or getting home by 9ish (that’s early: punn intended ) gets me the “Simple Girl” crown! Ironical is the fact that getaways from being insipid just cost me a few clothes and easily attained slangs.
An age old debate on Women Liberalization has been sidelined by the new era of personification by the very species itself. Am I not de-touring my own 22 years of life? Unlearning the up-bringing? Yes, I am a human being who gets easily wide-eyed by the sparkling limelight. It does account for a part of my modernization. How does it substitute for the very substance in me?
I can be opinionated, but, do I need to decorate my lingo with ‘f* and a*’s to keep my stance against the uncalled-for society acts. How can the attitude of “being someone else” get me “My Identity”??? While drafting this, I did take some opinions and I was advised to complete the article. Should I add more to it or should I leave it up to you to ponder? If I do, I might sound a prejudiced chunk of flaunted lines. Then I realized that if the article is deprived of my thinking, it will not be fair enough with the readers who will miss the chance of judging me. So here I go!
Yes, I am a techno savvy modern Indian Woman who likes to dress in her best black dress for a party. Who is still aspiring to own a smart phone (wise enough to buy the latest one whenever she does:)..Who still plans to wear an Indian Saree on a traditional day (despite of the fact that she still doesn’t know how to)…Has taken a step out of her little homeland and dared to be an alien in the land of white skins. Who still is jealous of not being able to wear a 28” waist jean…Who still waits for her husband to decide on her smallest piece of shopping…Who still fear to preserve her identity amidst the urbanization!
