Beauty and Brains

The Beauty Pageant, Femina Miss India has created history many a times before. When the ads of the pageant used to flash on the screen , we already started preparing from the side of a spectator. From Pramila to Parvathy Omanakuttan a long chain of beauties have left behind their mark as the world's most beautiful women. But the journey , as I have witnessed from the transformation of a pretty woman to one with brains have also brought in a lot of changes in the system. The kind of questions asked and the kind of answers given in the pageant nowadays has nothing exclusive to offer. I am sure India has'nt run out of intelligent beauties. This time's pageant , not a single one did I find appealing. All of them wrote like hardly two sentences , that too vague, in the final round. Having shopped goodies from Big Bazaar.. some new Orio wafers, all of us had great plans to enjoy the evening only to be disappointed. All the answers were so blunt . Half the time went answering that 'western culture hasn't influenced the increasing rates of divorces'.. and before they even try reading out the rest, they thank and shut up. Well according to me , one reason as to why divorces in India have been increasing is cos women are growing as per education and career.. and this leads to ego clashes cos men are not too happy with their partners enjoying their success. Besides most of the men , however broad minded ,do want their children to be put to sleep by mommy and to be fed and to be cooked by them. Anyways my thoughts are not at all relevant here... only if I were given an oppurtunity.. *sigh* .. so much for beauty!

Glamour = money?

Too bad! Nowdays, the glamour field is booming up perhaps more than the IT sector!! Why not? The income, fame, recognition got out of this is something majority would not dare to reject.From anchoring to reality shows, it's all showbiz. Attractive sets, tuned comperers to almost priceless prize vouchers. It's as though someone has kept a spicy big Mc right under my nose in the midst of my fast. Temptations and anxiety to know more about stalwarts and their doings are one of the symptoms.

Today, rather than breaking your head over the entrance exams for getting through some professional course..try your hand in the glamour world. Trust me ..even if you can't sing you never know if you are probably be a blabbermouth you might even end up winning the 'best VJ' award. Or if not that then being a spectator will also do. It's the matter of venturing into the magical world and minting money will be on your finger tips. I sometimes wonder how the Confidential group are able to sponser reality shows which amount to 50 lakhs and so on. Money can even buy talent! And I guess everything.
