Grooming vs Hypocrisy
9:25 AM Edit This 0 Comments »by Debashri Banerjee
Fashion and aesthetics has always symbolized youth. It has dominated society for ages and ages and still manages to be at the pinnacle. At this point, I recall a friend who was diagnosed with high power in eyes. Even one foot of vision was blurry; she went to the optical shop asking, “Please, get me the latest models of spectacles which have come into the market.”
Had I known such heights of fashion to this length, I would have been one in the queue (no doubt, i am in).Though, no hierarchy is ever seen in terms of fashion among people. Still, one cannot go completely with the thought as today many people follow fashion which they cannot afford. I know many people who spend more than half of their MNC salary on grooming and styling. The process of grooming, over the years has become an inevitable part of one's life. People at forties are easily seen visiting parlours and consulting stylists. Inspirations can be taken from Shobhaa De who can easily give inferiority complex to twenty year olds. And not to forget the legend, Amitabh Bacchan, who has set benchmarks for the generations coming. Over the years, a revolution circles around attiring, accessorizing, hair styling and many more. This styling mania has encouraged old people especially to be more concerned for their grooming. But on the flipside, it has negative aspects too, such as size zero, stressfulness, gadget madness and thus, the list never ends. This thought of grooming has brought in a high standard of living, but on the other hand has made people become more and more dependent.
On that note, I am reminded of a common joke on heights of fashion when a baby goes to a 'Huggies' outlet and demands low hip nappy. Such heights can be seen among adults as well. Come to Delhi, you shake your hands with shivering ones of daring baring women. Sleeveless blouses, translucent sarees, hide and seek, make up and Madhuri Dikshit hair (i mean wavvy) is common trend at five degree Celsius. It seems hypocrisy is defeating self realization and grooming. Being presentable is the objective but not killing the purity inside. Grooming irrespective of natural looks is not bad but crossing margins is a threat calling. This grooming VS hypocrisy fight is victimizing the finest creation of god and that the creation is human being. Not to mention, the human himself is the referee.
