Beauty
--------------
“We have to go out in next few minutes? Not possible yaar. I am not done with my makeup yet.”
“You don’t need makeup.”
“Ok. Now why you say so?”
“Coz you are naturally beautiful. Nature’s Beauty and Natural Beauty need no make-up.”
She blushed and pushed me out of the room to get ready for the party. I
was laughing and happy seeing my love blushing. I tried to get into the
room again, but since she pushed that door hard right on my nose, I
couldn’t get in. Thank god, my nose didn’t get hit. Then I stood in the
gallery of our hotel room and started watching outside.
I was
speaking with myself, “Wow, what a wonderful phrase I just said
‘Nature’s Beauty and Natural Beauty need no make-up’. Does it really
mean? If it does so then why these women use cosmetics? Not only women,
men also use them nowadays like fair and handsome cream, why is it so?”
I tried searching for reasons of these questions. And climate
conditions, pollution, stress of work etc things started entering in my
mind. When we born we are always cute (I was not sure about myself until
I watched my first photo of being just 2 months old), but when we start
growing up, our food, volatile climate conditions, diseases, our
interests etc affect our body. When we start facing world after teen
age, and we travel for job or business, we visit many places. Pollution
and climate on those places affects our body.
Not only climate
or pollution should be considered, but also we need to see how much
care we take of ourselves. We focus on our job, our targets, and our
achievements in life and for that we are ready to stress for as much
time as we can. We are welcoming stress happily and adjusting much
needed sleep. At least 6 hours sleep is needed but do we sleep for 6
hours daily? We feel that we are fit and fine and are we so? The answer
varies person by person. We also need to see the quality of food we eat.
Homemade food is always good and recommended. But due to many reasons,
basically job and relocation, we got habit of eating outside, eating
junk food.
This was about human beauty and next comes
nature’s beauty. To spend good time, relax and enjoy weekends, we are
looking for resorts or we prefer being close to nature where there are
trees, birds, animals and fresh air. Looking for second home with all
amenities such as swimming pool, trees around in the society compound,
fresh air is also kind of being close to nature. I think pollution and
mismanagement of Jungles is the reason to affect the nature. This leads
to volatile climate conditions as well. If we are thinking of taking
care of ourselves then we should go ahead and start thinking about
nature. We should start thinking about planting trees, taking care of
them and try to avoid building concrete jungles as much we can. If we
will take care of nature, nature will take care of us.
I was
travelling with these thoughts and knocking sound on door disturbed my
thinking journey. I asked, “Yes?” She replied, “Door is open. You can
come in.”
I opened the door and she was standing in front of
me. I saw her and my eyes said “wow” after looking at her pretty face.
Earlier thoughts regarding effects of pollution, stress on beauty and
nature etc were out of my mind now and that was quite natural.
She smiled and asked, “How do I look?” I started singing Shaggy’s my
favorite composition “Angel”. She blushed again and we laughed. With
this happy moment, a beautiful evening had started.
