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.
