Now that one's self-esteem is boosted by this new skin tone, it is time to push it down once again. Your face is alright, but oh dear! What about the rest of the body. Even in deep winter some parts might show. Summer may be far away , but you have to prepare for it. So here is this fluid which can be poured all over your body to get it to that same brightness. The marketeers have now managed to get you to hold the tiger by its tail. There is perhaps a solution. If one stops using that skin deep fairness cream which got you into this mess, you have a cheap and natural remedy.

Neither fair nor lovely
I was always put off by the concept of a fairness cream. There was nothing very fair about that whole idea. Not even the gender balancing act of a fairness cream for men could change my opinion. But it is a multi-billion rupee industry. That could now become a trillion one. This is how. I recently saw an advertisement by a brand which I trust a lot and which is to the best of my knowledge new to this category.

Nobel for Obama
The Nobel"peace Prize " has been awarded to Mr Obama. I am racking my brain and the newspapers to find that one bit of information which will convince me that he more than anyone else deserves this award in this year itself.
I admire Mr Obama greatly and was thrilled to bits when he won the Presidency. (Not being a US citizen, I could not vote...) Even now I support him in his efforts. If he manages to bring health care to all or makes progress in the Palestine-Israel cause, he would be a deserving candidate.
The Afghan war if anything shows no sign of stopping. Mr Obama politely refused to meet the Dalai Lama, the first US President in 20 years to do so. These factors are not a crime . However his eye is on the economics of the US and not on peace. I wish the Nobel Peace Prize committee or whoever decides such prizes gives us a break and finds substantial men, women or organisations dedicated to Peace for bestowing this wonderful award.
Considering George W Bush was on the shortened shortlist many times in the past few years, I guess the Committee has often just stopped short of embarrassing itself.
