With the people around starting from slum lower down to middle class, people are trying to be young when they are old.

It does not mean, you cant be a better version of yourself – to be creative, to be innovative, to nurture sustainability is the TRUTH. We will grow old and it is natural but that does not mean research should stop. Research and innovation are for people to make life better.

These days old people are dying to look younger, and young people are dying to look thinner to be accepatable in the eyes of the other. When you try to be what you are not, it will affect you negativeley.

I rolled with laughter, to see a already married women trying to look attractive and making her defects so public which could have been escaped. But people’s craving to draw attention is limitless and mostly the ones who want to project what they dont have.

There is dignity in durability, glamour in creativity. But it is jokes which makes us feel good, and it is nice to see such jokers who undergo plastic surgery, the old wearing clothes that fit young people and make us go splits. We need such people and even for blog writers like me.

Money can’t buy many things: a) looks – because it is skin-deep. You can wear a lot of cosmetics, undergo surgery but you wont have those beautiful looks unless genetically implemented. b) creativity – very hard to achieve. Requires emotional and intellectual investment c) honesty – difficult to practice – because of stiff competition, and jealousy.

At 55, if one wants to pass for young, will look like a joker only. With ex-husband and ex-wives, it is a show indeed to be dressed as “bride and groom” which serves as information to many, gossips for a lot more. Her looks remind me of Jocely Wilderstein, who ruined her looks to look more attractive.

It is nice to have such clients who are hankering for something every time and it is the creators’ market. Mediocre writers can produce trash, people with trashy mindset will gobble up the same and the trashy minded business people will become tycoons.

However, it is fun to make an ugly duckling look good and the satisfaction that the ugly person gets out of the surgery and feels confident is an arena of market that will keep growing.
