Let me tell you a little secret – Inner beauty is the Santa Claus of motivation. It doesn’t exist.

Women spend their entire lives believing in alien concept which is supposed to bring them happiness. But the truth is it never existed. It was created by this world to soften a universal truth – no place for imperfect women.

As soon as she hits puberty, a girl is made aware of the physical appearance. Hair removal, exercise, diets – important but come with an underlying truth – get pretty, quick. 

Its funny. Really. This same girl grows up in a magical world full of so many wonderful things to see and learn. She grows up strong, smart, well-mannered and fun. She learns through experience and media-fuelled campaigns that one must give a chance beyond the superficial. Beauty never lasts. Indeed, a real friend or companion sees you at your ugliest and you at theirs.

But then suddenly she’s thrown into a world where she is a commodity judged solely on the exterior. The height and the weight and the hair and the skin. Nobody honestly cares that she can speak five languages. That she takes one Youtube video tutorial to master a meal. That she is content buried in a book as well as in her lover’s arms. That she will never leave a man’s side because she knows, everyone grows old and slightly mad. She has learnt never to judge a book by its cover. What she didn’t know is, the opposite sex was never taught that. 

This is not a vendetta against the men. We love you, need you and want you always. What we simply find it bewildering is this insistence you have of having a certain kind of looks on a woman. Indeed there are some of you who are wonderful and we give you credit when due. However your brothers still treat us this way, and that’s an ugly fact. 

Why is it so difficult to realise the temporary nature of beauty? Here’s a thought – If something can be created by expensive surgeries today, it can’t possibly be that valuable, can it? When you are 60 and unable to walk, beauty is not going to make your days happier. 

There is unfortunately no revolution which will bring this change. This girl will stop being confused and hurt. She will accept things, be herself and continue living, eventually finding her happiness with what or whom she decides.

Ladies, tell yourself one thing: once they read some more, they will realise – the cover is the least interesting part of any book.
