A question: Why do women with curly hair invariably straighten it out?
So far, I know just one woman who has not. And I think she looks best the way she is.
Everywhere I look: at work, on the road, on the train, every single newsreader on television... women have straightened hair. For instance, someone I see everyday had really curly, short hair and she was really imaginative about the way she did it up. I thought it added a lot to her character - positively. She looked distinct. And then, one day, she straightened it out. And she looked like every other woman with straightened hair. Now why would she do that?
What makes it worse is the fact that no matter how good a job, it always looks artificial. You know that it is not naturally straight.

Well... guess it's just one of the unexplained reasons why women want to look like the next one.

I swear. Couldn't agree more.

Isn't it just similar to asking... why women with wonderfully straight hair curl it up? Guess character building isn't the first thing women in general look for... :). It would be interesting to find out how many women even today would go for distinct character vs. indistinct beauty...

I am sure it would be interesting. But eight months in Bombay has taught me that I seriously would need to "find out" these women... they must sure be a rarity.

Bombay or Bhatinda... does it really matter? :)
