My First BLog

This is the my first blog and it goes like this. Many people often try things first hand, they wanna try it on the first go as it comes in the market and on the other hand there are people like me who after hearing about the product so much that it excites them then think about the prospects of purchasing the product. When the product is already at the end of its life cycle. Here I’m in Gurgoan  rather than calling it fortune 500 company head quarter I would like to call it ‘Bay Of Pigs’. Pigs and Companies are competing for the same space and it very funny to see. Many Interesting things have lined up starting with my promise of not smoking more than 1 cigarette today. Still pondering how to spend the whole day.


Nivea “re-civilize man” is creating a buzz in the market. All US black community is stunned by Nivea add, which directly by any means looked at as a derogatory remark. Cosmetic companies have long been practicing this kind of cajoled practices to get their product sold in the market. What makes me feel is ‘Are they being racist’? Or is the “black” market simply not big enough to invest money in “black” makeup? Really funny far South India, sale of fair and lovely is far too much than other product, which makes me feel. Are the people really themselves responsible for this racial attacks or is it the companies exploiting our frame of mind. People’s perception “White” is more attractive would ultimately lead us nowhere it’s a curse of Europe and we are doomed to suffer from this.
Recent L’Oreal  was up in the news because of the tagline “You're Worth it - if you're white”. Come face to face with another form of racial discrimination. The pressure to alter one’s features and body is endemic in every group and ethnic community. But the number of minorities getting plastic surgery is apparently on a steep rise. The totalizing and dismissive assumption that Asian women who elect such surgery obviously desire to look like Western has seemed too readily to essentialize Asians as degraded imitations and mimics”. Not simply matters of personal self-esteem, facial alterations can mark changes of social status, such as graduation, coming of age, or first full-time employment in western countries.
