Having Nandita Das as your profile pic. That is just unfair (pun intended)
Oh and I hate the word Wheatish. Bet you 10 bucks it is a word invented by Indians to say 'not dark'

Could be.
But i love the golden color that Indian gals have.I dont know of any other word which comes close to describing their color...so wheatish it is.
Nope dusky is not the word.

a person who have good manners is what count.

black/white/brown it does not matter. Skin is to perish one day your deeds wont. thats what i believe and what my religion teaches me.

I always feel its time for us desis to retain our skin color with pride. We dont need to hide behind excuses.

Tauba tauba! Itni munafiqat?

Wheatish with some sweat on the body ,after some physical work and a look at him will make Girl hormone levels rise and touch the maximum ...... .

 

[hadoken]

lol hate to break it to the "wheatish" brothas out there ... but that still falls under "brown"

Do you guys think he lightened up significantly? I would love to read about his experience on how people percieved him before and after the "makeover"

@levina Peter O'Toole's looking rather pretty.

Oh yaar....I am supposed to be protesting against the obsession for fairness creams that ppl have.And Nandita das's pic is what came to mind then.

I guess I should change my pic now....let me think of something better.

How about Devyani Khobragade?

No not Devyani......
Nandita Das started a campaign called "stay UNfair...stay beautiful" against the fairness creams.So my profile pic had to be her..

And i have not undesrtood why ppl (not just in india...but world over )love fairer skin???
Look at Chitrangada Singh,Deepika Padukone....hmm Freida Pinto...Biapsha Basu...they all look pretty without the added fairness.

And I guess lord Krishna and Rama were also supposed to be dark.

I think the associated connotations of white as symbol of cleanliness and black/brown as symbol of dirt is what extends into the aspect of beauty too. To me, a darker guy just has higher melanin in his skin, that's it!
Personally, to me skin colour is never an issue...but I prefer facial symmetry, as in I can't normally picture a wide-nosed, large eyed, square jawed Woman as beautiful. (pardon me on this)
