Rantings!!!

So cool we just had another Indian win the Miss Asia-Pacific. That takes India's medal tally to 5 miss worlds, 2 miss universe and 3 miss asia pacific. They have certainly changed India, made tall promises only to tell the women of india how ugly they look and how using the cosmetics they endorse would make them beautiful. Made some stupid films and in fact hardened our beliefs that women in a cinema are nothing more than a glamour object.

So what am i ranting about. It was May 14th, 1931 when a Albanian woman of the same age as the women who won the pageants decided to denounce the material world. It was the same woman clad in cotton sareewith blue border and armed with determination started serving the destitute. She made India her home and the sufferings as her own.Lepers from Calcutta, Siege of Beirut, Spitak Earthquake of Armenia, the droughts of Ethiopia and the woman proved how much strength she has.

True she did not have the beauty of a nymph but she had the heart of a God. True she does not live on the hoardings selling fairness creams but lives in our heart realising dreams.
