My fair lady?????

Poetry’s taken a back seat as of now…(sad)
This novel idea of writing a piece that comments on one of the ongoing advertisements on television is courtesy ‘doc’ (thanks for being so inspirational!)

It’s about this fairness cream called…
Leave that...(They all sound the same)!!
I haven’t seen it a hundred times to quote it exactly but here’s a gist of it-
The girl and her family visit the guy’s house to see if he is worth getting married to…(surprise, surprise!)
In reality it’s the opposite-the boy along with his parents go and see the girl, she brings in the tea and other eatables (to show her culinary skills!!), they chat about each others likes and dislikes and God knows what else… (This knowledge is courtesy our TV soaps and Hindi films)

Well, the ad then proceeds to the guy bringing in the tea (more surprise); he then plays the Sitar (music lover!) And finally shows his dancing talent as well (Kathak!!)
The girl is impressed (wow!!) and she says “yes”.
The ad thus concludes and the voice says “fairever lagane se ye toh hona hi tha”…something like that!!(Fairever…that’s the name of the cream)

So what did it imply??
You could reject or select a guy after seeing his abilities (of course).
This was my interpretation of the ad!!

A few months back there was a lot of hue and cry over these so-called fairness cream commercials…they encouraged women folk to use them and look more 'beautiful' (*yawn*) and 'fair' (*a bigger yawn*)
i never paid much attention to it all...what was the big deal??

Then this ad came and made me think...
Besides I saw some matrimonial ads in the newspaper as well(no raised eyebrows, pleeease!!)
And then I understood it all….
Everyone wants a "fair, slim, beautiful girl"; you see beauty comes before brains
everywhere!!(I never knew that)
Hmmm…
So where does it leave all those who are not that fair?? (Normal Indian complexion is as such whitish)…
Don’t they get good jobs or good-looking guys (if that’s so very important) and cant they fulfill all their dreams??

I couldn’t answer that!!
ANSWERS ANYONE???????
