So what if a girl is dark??

Hey Arabian Doll,

I agree there is this mad fixation with most Indians about fair skin. Though I honestly feel that its high time we came out of it.
But the hard fact is that it seems to be here for some more time ,so you need to see the brighter side of it.
The winners of the Miss. India contests over the past few years has been girls with a tanned or dark skin, like Sushmita Sen,Lara Dutta, Diana Hayden (who went on to win the Miss. World and the Miss. Universe titles ) and the very recent Sarah . The people of the west are absolutely floored by our Indian skin. The recent spate of marriages of West taking a bride from India (mostly girls with a tanned complexion) has proved it further.
Dont let these mindless people bog your confidence down . Please have faith in what God has gifted you. External appearances can be made pleasant not by whitening creams and bleaches but with a golden heart. Be happy ,it will make you more radiant than any fair skinned girl.

All the very best to you in Life . I am sure you will definitely find someone who loves you for who you are and not what you look like , and that will make the relation last a lifetime!!

Regards,
Devika

Hi AD,

a good point dear....we are wheatish in colour and yet are termed dark and all that...and the ponnu parkara padalam is hell on any girl...i had to undergo the trial from when i was 18 thanks to mom's effort on trying to get me married soon...but i think she supported my choice and i got married in my late 20's to a sensitive man who loves me just as i am.....i think you will get someone who loves you as you are....just wait....as for colour...if a person is not marrying you for colour reasons...then girl you are really rid of him...he is just a shallow person who would just be cribbing away his life......

warm wishes,

aqua.

Thankyou for uplifting my spirits and giving such a positive response.To be open,Iam normally a optimistic person who stand against all odds in my male dominated society.I neve felt myself inferior,but when this issue comes,i used to feel frustrated not because allainces are getting rejected(thank God ) but because of why to be married with such taunts and remarks...but now after hearing all ur meaningful words...i feel like i have drunk bottles of boost!
