| While passing through the streets and market places of the city I usually find a good number rather a crowed of the males and females in the beauty salons and parlors for hair dressing, make up and cosmetic treatments. The clientele of these parlors include both the adults and the teenagers from both the sexes.
It is the aesthetic sense which differentiates human beings from the world of animals because man is beauty conscious, prefers beautiful look, contours and cuts of the body and face which can fascinate others at the first glance. Not to talk of the present generation which has got immense means of exalting their facial and bodily beauty, the ancient and tribal people used such techniques, pastes and materials as could attract the attention of the opposite sex. They used colored stone beads and feathers for decoration of the bodies and the hair, they made bracelets from th delicate vines and wild flowers to tie around braids and the buns of the women ilk. The women ilk used wax in the place of modern gels to set their hair for long durations, lamp black i.e soot to decorate their eyes in the place of kajal and yellow clay as facial for enhancing the beauty of the face.
Every small or adult, with homely or cute complexion, irrespective of the sex is beauty conscious and tries to maintain it either by natural, artificial ways or by cosmetic techniques. It is the desire of every woman to acquire proportionate body with parameters related to busts, waist and buttocks. Almond shaped Smokey eyes, bow like eye brows, long eyelashes, broad forehead, petal like lips, cute nose and facial cuts are the first choice of every young or an adult mature women.
Women ilk is very conscious and particular about their colour and complexion. Their weakness for the beauty takes the shape of passion whenever they have to attend any social congregation or any ceremony in the family or relations. It is often said that Jewelers, tailors and parlors are three destinations where the women ilk get final touch to their appearance from tip to top at very exorbitant costs which only upper or upper middle class women can afford.
It is an old saying 'When the old cock crows the young one's follow. Like elders the teenagers are also swayed easily by their exposure with the outer world through the social and print media, fashion magazines, through the advertisements of creams, lotions powders and other beauty related material on the television and hoardings portraying beautiful celebrities. Every teenager have the hero or heroine of their liking with the result they indulge in hero worship and identify themselves with them in daily life. In order to look like them and impress the opposite sex they start giving more attention towards the maintenance of their complexion than any other important assignment. A large number of school going girls and boys are seen in the beauty salons or parlors for hair style, hair dressing, make up, cosmetic treatment, threading, facial, shaping of eyebrows matching with the celebrities of their choice. The school going children especially the girls start applying dark and light shades of lipsticks from primary classes these days. The ideal place of the children is library and play ground not the tailor or the parlor. DIL KO DEKHO CHEHRA NA DEKHO-CHEHRE NE LAKHON KO LOOTA, DIL SACHHA AUR CHEHRA ZOOTHA. |
