I am surely not BEAUTIFUL. !!!

DISCLAIMER:IT'S JUST AN ARTICLE. IT MIGHT BE RELEVANT TO MANY.

HAPPY READING.

The statement made by an adult to a teenager who was barely 14-15 years old at that time, did hunt her for some years.

Adult : "Tmro ghar kata ho?"

Teenager :"Ktm" 

Adult: "saxxai hora?, teii pani esto kaali ?"

 

The born and brought-up in Kathmandu was stereotyped being ugly just because she has dusky complexion. Adding to it one of her friend said, “Why didn’t you say that you are from Dharan.". 

 

The very turmoil had started back then.

 

Not just that teenager, but many of us must have been stereotyped by some man-made beauty standards.

At least i had been, i still am actually. I used to get affected by it, but no more. Some very common lines most of us must have been through are "ramri nai xe,tara ali kali ho","Ali goro vayeko vaye kati ramri hunthi"," Kali Kali hissi pareki xe". Why is ramri being synonym to not being kaali?, Why are they constantly reminding that teen that, she would have been beautiful if she had been fair!!!. Why is it so? 

 

Due to such husky mentality, many teenagers were affected then, are affected now and will always be affected. Their constant chase to meet the so called beauty standard will not only ruin their childhood memories but also will tend them towards being little more insecure about themselves. And it will surely take them some years to overcome it and to realize how beautiful they are.

 

Every individual is beautiful. So am i, so are you. I might be the most beautiful for some and ugliest to many but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is, was i beautiful beyond the stereotyped beauty standards? 

 

I surely was/am and will be!!

 

Stop being insecure by some man made assumptions. Nothing deserves your energy if it's draining you. 

 

You are beautiful,

with dusky skin,

with pimpled face,

with padded skin,

with a beautiful heart,

You are beautiful,

No matter what they say.

Hope within a hope

Hope that a student pass his upcoming exam, hope that a son gets promoted, hope that his angry girlfriend gets pleased,hope that a beggar gets food to eat, hope that a child will not get scolded . The world itself survives with a hope that it will sustain more ages happily.            Martin Luther king JR. had once said he had a hope that civil right movement will come to an end and blacks will get their life back. Similarly every person here have some hopes, some mission in their life. everyone is born, or at least i can say are growing with a plan, mission. Hope is something that makes  us more determined ,more confident and gives us some pathway. Boasting around i will do this i will do that doesn't guarantee your success. Actually success is never guaranteed nor its permanent . The one who is successful today may not be tomorrow. Everything then lies within eternal happiness. How satisfies are you  rather that measuring your success with the materialistic goods you own,
