Colour and Criticism



"Dark complexion,
doesn't need any explanation."

Nobody will decide your charm, nobody will give you any grant for your
unnecessary seamless endurance of taking every shit that spoken by this so called society for you, so stop it.
Nobody should be the reason of destroying your confidence level, it's you only who will decide your solidity NOONE else.

Why would everyoneone have the right to rate your looks, your appearance, your persona ?

Who the hell will judge your beauty by the complexion and tell you whether you are pretty or not ?

Give this right of yours to whom you want, to whom you trust, to whom you love, to whom you consider as soulmate, your companion as the one is the only who can beautify your beauty NOONE else.
And what you are you are
To hell with the society and to hell with its rotten mentality...
If you are dark you are dark
And you are real...

"BE IN YOUR TRUE COLOUR"

Females are criticised by the complexion in our society mostly .The very first step which needs to be taken towards the eradication of this ill mentality is that we must
stop telling daughters all those crap like
she is as beautiful as moon or
as delicate as flower etc. etc. etc.

Just Let her be born first;
let her be herself; Let her know herself with her inner strengths n capabilities only; Let her make believe that noone can destroy her dignity and respect anyhow
; let her make feel that she is also as normal as others with all the same human features (eyes nose mouth ears hands n legs that's it NOTHING ELSE).

Don't treat her distinctively treat equally; don't make her feel different biologically; don't try to prove her ever scientifically; dont manipulate emotionally; stop treating her like a burden economically.
If really someone would like to do anything then just let her be unbound; Just make her able to differentiate between good n bad and leave her unconfined.

If it is said by this so called society that sons and daughters are equal then apply the sayings in deeds. No need to make her goddesses like Durga Kali Sarswati Lakshmi n so on.
Just give her a name by birth and respect that only the whole life.

It'll be very much enough for all of us.
