Jumping right into the topic, are we following the Jealous 21 Jean concept in our society to view the ladies? Once upon a time, say 1873, Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss invented the blue pair of jeans. With a lot of evolution, we now have come to the age of precisely categorizing our ladies jeans into three vivid categories such as (brace yourselves) Hottie-slim hips, Hourglass-regular hips and Bootilicious-curvy hips!! That's just about jeans. But are we secretly being rated or categorized similarly by the men when they look at a certain gal?
Welcome to the age of sizes! One size fits all has been defied left,right and center. Its the age of mixed sizes. On one end of the spectrum, we have Kareena Kapoor endorsing the size "0" and on the other hand we have Vidya Balan, well, endorsing a voluptuous body. So, as average Indians what style do we adept to? We are anyway generously endowed but then some of us do manage to go on silly diets to look stick thin. Is all this necessary? Who are we trying to impress? There are some gals who believe in the myth that smoking helps you to lose weight. But what about your lungs baby?!
No matter what shape the men are, for all we care, they may look like bean bags themselves, but expect their gals to have a sauve figure!! Men invariably tend to categorize gals into certain slots. Such as, if a girl is stick thin, they will call her a plank coz she will be devoid of assets as such. Or if a girl is a lil plump, they will call her an aunty or a balloon!! Preposterous! Categorizing also extends to the style quotient or the type of clothes worn by her. If she is in Indian or ethnic wear, she will branded as a behenji. If she wears jeans or better still skirts, showing off her toned legs, she will branded as a "maal". Again, prejudicial branding on this would be that a behenji will be a "smartypant" and a "maal" will be a dumb bimbo!!
Why is all this grooming expected only out of a gal? I see very few guys who are utterly conscious about their looks. But I know for sure, that all girls are conscious about they way they look and carry themselves. Its ok to criticize a girl to a certain extent. But is it ok to criticize her to such an extent that she has to undergo a catastrophe of a change to make her likeable?! Looks after all are just momentary. Its the essence of a person that is long lasting. Instead of emphasizing just on looks and outward appearance, we need to inculcate the habit of accepting the people the way they are, unless they turn out to be complete jerks! :D
In short, eat healthy, stay fit and most importantly, wear good fitting jeans :D
