Jassi or.... Jessica
Although people proclaim that looks do not matter , what they say is not what they believe. With the recent much debated Jassi makeover the fact has been strengthened beyond doubt that one is gauged by ones appearance. Jassi had become a lifeline to all those women who were constantly egged into believing that what beauty they do not possess was their shortcoming. The old Jassi in some way helped them believe in themselves and that nothing else matters as long as you have a sound character and you work hard. All their hopes were shattered when their own idol did a volte face on them. It is a fact that society has been biased with cindrella, the ugly duckling story and many Day-to-day instances like matrimonials for fair pretty girls being a proof of it, yet what comes forth as shocking is the recent survey that even parents are biased towards more attractive children. All said and done when one was getting the feeling that society as a wholewas coming of age, alas, one is sadly mistaken.

Well, it's just another quality, some parents would want their children to be intelligent, some would want them to be beautiful, it's just one of the disciminating factors that we posses.

Hey Guys musn't be commenting on this but I feel that beauty is related to being Attractive.
Like all animals, attraction is the force that allows us to "multiply" hence the bias toward attractiveness is biological and not social. The animal instinct in us makes us feel the more the attractive the partner is more are the chances of healthy offspring and carying on with the race.
The problem however lies in the meanness shown towards non-fair (saawla) people (girls especially). Its a pity, the girls that complain against this bias never say a word against fairness creams. Bottomline is that beauty liea in the eyes of the beholder n not creator
