Remember that particular
scene from the movie “Devil wears Prada”, when Andrea (Anna Hathaway) suddenly
realizes that she does NOT want to be a part of “that” world? And that she chooses
not to follow Miranda (Meryl Streep)?
Well, I am happy to
announce… that I too had a somewhat similar “Eureka-Moment” only a couple of
minutes back!
I realized that
after behaving like an idiot for god knows how many months, running after my
dream of becoming “thin” and finally fit into a nice, sexy 1 piece, I was just
trying to be someone else!
I am surrounded by
females who are thin, show off to the T and can easily slip into a 1, 2 or how
many ever pieces dress they wish to!!! But for someone who has always been on
the border line of being slim & heavy, the choices are limited. And I am
sure, that a lot of girls must be nodding their head in agreement!
I am not saying, “Being
skinny or thin is not right!”… But all I am saying is that, “Don’t let it get
into your head.” Because once it gets in, you only start harming your body.
I have seen models
go anorexic… for obvious reasons! But this whole “fashion clad” society leaves
no stone unturned in endorsing “thin-ism”. Even pregnant women are not spared!
Actress Aishwarya Rai had only given birth to a new life and after months of
carrying the baby girl, it takes time for the body to get back to normal shape.
But people didn’t leave any chance of criticizing her when she made her public appearance.
The media went crazy about her weight and behaved as if “gaining weight” was a hideous
crime!!
So ya, I accept. I accept
I got carried away for a while. But now, I am back on track and my aim is to
stay fit and healthy! I am unique, and the qualities that I possess can never
be found in the same proportion in any human being. So it’s time I start
valuing what I have, rather than crying over something I am not!
P.S. I am proud of
what I am. And someone has rightly said, “Haddiyon pe toh kutte marte hain!”
