Fairness is spoken about everywhere and everyday in India- some are obsessed with it, and some slam it. Well, whatever the case may be, the West is obsessed with tan.
On my recent visit to Europe I was quite surprised to see 'self-tanning' lotions and creams, something I'd never heard of! (Of course, what I did know was that they love to sunbathe, but probably because the sun hardly shines in some countries). And these tanning lotions sell like hot cakes.
What a contrast to our best-selling products, huh?
OK, so what do we do? Buy tanning lotion or fairness cream?
The answer is quite obvious. But you can put your foot down.
Mom's friend had come to sell make-up. Lipsticks, eyepencils, etc. and fairness cream. She recommended the latter. I refused. Mom said, "Why not?" But a no meant a no. We didn't buy it finally.
Bah to fairness creams!
Tehelka!
Tehelka.com is known for putting big-shots in trouble. Now the tables are turned. Call it political motivation, or trying to cover up one's sins, the bottomline is that Tarun Tejpal is now on the political hitlist. First, being accused tampering with the tapes (no one except them is sure about the tapes), then having a CBI raid, and now, being accused of bribing people to cover up their unethical acts.
I wonder if the Tehelka guys will be summoned now for having one passport.
