My blogger and FB friend Bhavesh Chhatbar, probably didn't realize, the significance of the photograph he clicked, on a trek to Purandar Fort , near Pune, sometime in 2009.
It is impossible to decide whether the goat is pretty , or the background flowers.
And somewhere therein. I feel, lies a message .... (for all those who swear by "Fair and Lovely" etc...)
with our obsession
for minimal melanin
will never learn,
that
beauty is not
about your own color.
It is about
the color
of your thoughts,
how the darkest
beautiful eyes
see the yellow and the orange
and bring a
happy smile to a white face,
as it contemplates
a great gamboling
amidst the green.
Will those who chant
"Fair and Lovely"
learn from the little goat
who knows it all ?
