the look

have been greeted by screams of

'michael jackson, micheal jackson'

many a times

as people try hard

to box me within known parameters

yes he has had a lot of plastic surgery

in his quest to look like

the eternal boy, peter pan, krishna archetype

only to end up looking like a ghoul

i on the other hand have been

as i was born


those berefit of beauty

kid themselves with lines like

'beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder'

they cannot fathom the concept of

'absolute' in beauty

such beings are at unease

with the concept of

'absolute' in anything

no prizes for guessing why :)


but if one pays close attention

to all these external devices like

make-up & plastic surgery

which happen to be the biggest industry on the planet

they reveal the quest for

a very singular

'look'


there is a spoken & unspoken universal understanding of

how eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, jawline, nose

face/body symmetry, skin colour, skin texture etc. should be

and thats what makeup tries to

bring out in those who don't have it naturally

the more demonic go to the extent of plastic surgery to

get closer to that 'look'

it isn't without rhyme or reason

a particular race is continuosly

burning itself in the sun

to get to a certain shade/colour


a whole lot of frustration/depression

results from

not making it

no matter how hard they try


the fact that

'the look' is the result of internal functionings

& cannot be reached through externalities

is either not understood

or not faced
