hii there!!
Thou i am not much of a T.V person.........but then sometimes i do catch up on some movies and ofcourse the newz.
But then.................................................................................................
Yesterday during lunch time......while i was busy lunching.........( god!!our t.v is near the dining table......so irritating!!!!!!!!!)............... and my mom was busy with her daily soaps........ i noticed that the RECOVA , Ageing Cream ad, appeared in almost all the commercial breaks............... and then followed the FAIR and LOVELY ........... the Mens Fairness Cream ad..........................
and so a thot struck me...............guess!! thats why i am here writing this blog............
...................... do we find Ageing Cream ads for MEN on T.V?????????????????????????........................... i don't think so........... atlest i havent seen one......... so why, its alwayz, the eve, who has to look sexy , fair, beautiful and young even if she's in her 40's........????????????????????????????
i am not against looking good and feeling sexy............. but r looks the most important thing in a women............. hey!!u men out there......... give her some air to breathe....................
u want the women to be a super women or what??????????????? u want her to work(obviously she shud be professionally and financially independent)....., take care of u, ur home, ur kids, cook for u, ur friends, ur relatives, be absolutely rocking when it comes to ur personal life (u know what i mean)...............and at the same time, look gorgeous, sexy............................. which she tries to be to............ her level best
Why do these ads ,.......... picture....... that the husbands start looking elsewhere once their wives reach the age of 30............ and then assure that such miracle creams would revive back the romance in their relationship??????????
Do u really think romance revives back by just looking.... good, fair, beautiful, sexy?????????........ then what about the other qualities guyz????????????????
god!!! give me a break...................................
i guess............. we shud tell , those ad directors.......... that it can happen even in the case of women too.......... and its high time............. they find a remedy for the men too.............
Wonder why are the creams meant only for women................?????????? Where r the men in this segment?????????
Why do the women have to spend thousands and thousands to take those BOTOX Injections ( r they painful???????? got no idea on that.......... actually i havn't reached that age to get them......................and i won't too.........) just to look great............
Today women r at par with men in every field............... infact i think they r better than their counterparts........... i guess...................... thats why............
there r products like the Fairness Creams exclusively for MEN that have been launched in the market............... coz i guess men too have started feeling insecure..................... what do u think guyz........?????????
Infact i seriously appreciate................ an ad of some fairness cream where they show ........a typical indian before marriage background............where the girl (wishing to be a bride soon) visiting the boy's (preferred to be the apt groom) house and the boy entertains her with his music................ and only after listening to him,........... she agrees to be his wife..........
where normally in the indian culture its alwayz the other way round..................... but then i guess.............. that day is not far off...........
when the above ad will become a reality.................
but then this will only happen if only ladies like us............. STOP............. doing things according to the wishes of our husbands and boyfriends......... just to win them back........by looking good ha!! ha!! ha!!............... and more importantly by using those creams............ instead why not make them use it..................
what say ladies?????????

was i really reading that!!!
hopefully not i think that was juss a human rights activist's yelling on y those things are prevailing in dis society...
i shud have had commited a suicide if i was dere in the recova ad campaign n read ur blog (but thank god am not out dere n i dun wanna die so fast)
but literally after some time reading that I really felt like we guys were humiliated the most in it !!!
it may sound harsh but lemme ask ya 1 thing has ur boyfriend ever called you up before a date n tell ya that
“Darling can you please put on those trickly mickly pink lipsticks it matches with your newly colored burgundy hair and don’t forget to put up that extra make up coz we r going to ginger and there gonna be too many girls so chk out tht I don’t get distracted n there iz new cream in the market named recova try it also ok juss saw on a new add that age spots are visble as low as 25 so plz chk tht out ok… cya den bye”
Oh god horrible!!!!
Never!!!
Coz guyz never care a damn for it den y shud they put recova by the way!!!
To look good I wud say that girls are runnin too fast…. not because of their husband or boyfriend or crush (what ever u call) wants it.. but to look better than other girls..
Hez ur bf or ur hubby dude he has loved you not signed a contract or deed!!
“Here by I take this oath that as long thy look good ur maah gf” ----Bullshit----
You wrote
“doing things according to the wishes of our husbands and boyfriends......... just to win them back........by looking good” (from the blog)
Win your husband and boyfriend back!! Plz being a guyz I have never thought of getting both maah girlfriend and maah wife back at same time juss by applying creams… thank god dere r no such creams in the market for the guyz!!
See the probs is the feeling of being inferior if u feel such apply those if not then give a damn to them!!!
Felt like writing some more but thought tht let it be just a comment not a blog…
Newayz gr8 bolg!!
Write some more dude I juss love writing comments!!
Rana ........... firstly thanks a ton for reading my blog......... and ya!! double thanks for ur comments.......... i must admit "amazing thinking"........
as u said that none of the guyz ask their galz to apply any of those creams..???? or put on that new branded lipstick launched recently....etc...
well!! then i must say "guyz do ask their galz"to wear outfits which according to them make their galz look smart and sexy,.........outfits.... which can be compared to the sexy outfits of the other galz..........
ha!! ha!! rana.... tell me something.... can u take ur girlfriend in a salwar kameez to a disc...... ??????? plzzzzzz be true to urself and answer...............
okay.... i kinda agree with u..... that somewhere we galz compete with other galz..... in terms of beauty and clothing..... but then do u realise.... why.................. its JUS AND JUS coz of ........... OUR HUSBANDS, BOYFRIENDS... coz they r the ones who start looking here and there when they get bored of seeing the same face everyday......... disgusting!!!!!! and thats why... those creams, those marketing strategies......and those sales.......... U AND U GUYZ R THE ONLY REASON ......... think abt it rana..........
Firstly lemme thank you for reading maah crap, and finding time to react to it!
yup I agree to your “no salwar suit at disc” tag but I think u were angry at the recova cream team…
has ne member of their team called you up or what????
Juss kidding!!!!!!!!!
It seems like you took out all heart out against guyz in that comment… but plz guyz are never so bad ,it looks different on the other side but u no in the midst of a big crowd ur guy might not be staring at u constantly, coz he will be busy chking other guyz who are staring at his girl!!!! And keeping his account so that he shouldn’t repeat that again…
Juss ask ur heart y ur guy does that?
I think the answer won’t be recova ne way!! What do you say???
hmmm...cudntagree wit u more supi whoever said in the last commnent [was unable 2 communicate directly ] tht the boyfriends don ask their gals 2 dress up...sir u need some soul check..wud u marry one gal who is dark,plump,short never visited beauty parlour etc etc coz these are not considered [unfairly and unfortunatly] as benchmarks for beauty....u might not ask her 2 PUT on this makeup but u wudn;t notice this gal if she wasn't wearing one or wasn't pretty!!!
for a gal the most imp thing as demanded is being beautful...her life marriage depends on tht...and the emphasis is on remaining
pretty
so tht the husband shall not stray
have u everseen
wives
checking
out guys on
s on road when their husbands get a pot belly or get bald....unlikely....but men will be men...young,ol,bald,fat,ugly,rich poor....for them women is a tool of conveneince...to clean cook be their punching bag....and so on....and all this treatment of being a second class citizen goes on such unconcious levels tht ur not even aware of it
THIS IS THE TRUTH and REALITY
u wnna say that things are chnaging mightbe ...but for a very small section of women....
so show some empathy....don dub nething related 2 women as a feminist or a human rights movt.....
very true!!!
hey chanduuuuu ...... god i shudve read it long back
hahahahahhahahahahahahahhaahhaa
Seemed to be an extremely funny topic to start off wid, and ended up
being quite interesting actually
I do understand it nw tht how sum chintu mintu topics take up and shape
up things diverting it not completely but sum where down the line to
sum social issues.
hope sum news channel read this stuff and put on a discussion to pile up their ever declining TRP's
I mean sumone wanted to do sell some pimple cream or wht (god knws wht
recova's for frankly), employed a few ppl, opened up an industry, made
an ad wid a gorgeous model (wheeeeew ..... ok back to the topic), ppl
who loved it bought it, while the others are happy with face mask and
all their sticky stuff.
But the CEO of those companies (for Recova and Fair n lvly) wud hve never
imagined tht supi bhaduri summday frm the blues
will sakshat prakatofy in front of the idiot box and will view their ad's,
which were nt at all made for the super pretty sups.
Firstly, the channel ppl are gonna be spanked for displaying this ad
when dear chandulal was munching stuff down the food pipe sitting in fornt of the TV.
Then the mgmt board of these companies are gonna be cursed for not
makin mens cream some 20yrs frm now, when darling supi was not born..... i
mean if she wud have seen the mens cream already 20yrs back (the cream
wud have been in existence i.e.) along wid the ads of johnson baby soap
and lux and stuff, this blog wud have never cum up. heheehehehehehee
I knw my comments are full of crap, but the point i wanna make is,
where are we leading to ..... is a cream gonna decide whether women are
given enuf air to breath, or is it time for men to put up their oxygen
masks.
well the important thin is, if u want to put on sum cream or kiwi shoe polish on ur face, there are
more than 12754 reasons for tht (thts an approx. no. :)).
u know its ur choice to take up things wht u see depending on ur understnding of rt an wrng.
The thing i want to put across is tht its very much ur personal choice whether u wanna use sumthing or not.
Like the way i choose to comment it like a few more, while many read and went ahead.......its ur choice wht u do
each one havin (1/log 1) ..... (yes dear its maths) reasons to chose sumthin.
like u urself commented dear tht u do agree to use cosmetics to compete wid ur frenz....a gud point and no probs wid tht.
BUt wht does recova cream has to do wid WOMEN's Liberation and their empowerment.
So if there is no mens cream, it is an extremely serious issue in a way
and its hampering and questioning the existence of women in the society and stuff..... wow
y not take this point to the parliament and shout out loud for mahila andolan
"milke bolo ek hain...saare bolo ek hain..... recova cream zindabad......" (i knw its milke bolo...jia mata di....saare bolo ... jai mata di...but still)
amazingggggggggggggggg ........ 2moro we will be having kids liberation also, stating........
y no pizza's for us when my dad's having cholestrol and still he doesnt mind dipping into a whole 12" pizza margaretta, and we have to live on Farex
Well i guess i do very much agree wid da second set of comments of ur mail friend.............believe it or not chandu ... its quite true.
well gals put on sum recova cream, and we guys turn into undercover agents checking out whos tryin to check his gal......wht abt tht .......
i knw it doesnt make sense, but nor do the other things wid this topic
I guess fair and handsome was made for guys who wanna luk fair. if sumone wants to, they will go ahead and the others wont.
please understand these are marketing strategies, to make u see tht the world doesnt like u the way u are..... u r not accepted unless u use our cream
if tomorrow, all guys cum to knw tht gals do have more affinity towards tall dark and handsome guys :) (i knw y supi's smilin), who wud go for fair and handsome.
may be a new cream will be launched then............ natural skin tann for men......or get naturally dark..........hahahaahahahahhahaahhahaaha
the way u pull and influence the masses is how the whole thing works...... i guess sups knws it better than me.... u r a retail mgmt student now.
also, one of ur frenz just made a point tht girls have to be pretty to be chosen. i do agree to some extent as it actually is a social blockage
but does tht mean the ones who dont look pretty dont get married, and if they do, their husbands are not gud, for them.
Do u all think the person who marries solely on the criteria of amazin Gul panag kind sweet smile and dimples and stuff is goin to be a great guy....i dnt think so
I do agree ... gud looks do attract ppl, but to be frank .... gud looks ka kya achaar dalna hai zindagi bhar,
if ur mate doesnt gel wid u well..its meaningless
very simpl but true from my POV
the trend has changed quite rapidly now, and i guess men are more insecure abt wht women used to be 10 yrs back.
yes, the trend is truly changing for a small section of females in the society, but atleast it is.....thts the catch
it may change completely in da yrs to cum......who knws.
the beauty of this blog was................ tht supi.......u write bahut bhari stuff.......
i mean no one can traverse a beauty cream towards sumthin like this
even i ended up clarifying social isssues, where as i had started off wid sumthin else :):):):):):)
keep i writin up more stuff........and do let me knw.............it was fun......cheers
Graciez ....ciao
Accidentally stumbled upon this blog... and had some quality time reading the post and the comments...
Wondered why girls dislike Ash but identify a lot with the most disturbingly mediocre Rani Mukherjee...
It seems Supi, you have taken the onus of speaking for the whole of womenkind, whereas, subjects as flaming as this, should always be spoken from the perspective of oneself. You seem to be furious at the beauty products that perhaps all the women you know and adore and look up to, use. Why? Have you ever asked them about it? Do you ever think that the sole purpose of a person to keep her wife looking young is to imbibe a sense of attraction going?
I guess people forget that aeging is a natural process when they love someone intensely... they want to keep their loved ones the way they were just as you would like to water a bouqet of roses to keep their vitality and splendor. I see nothing wrong with it. Neither should you feel angry about it. Be glad that there are products to revitalize your looks, for, the bottomline is, everyone likes to be loved... and for women to win it, looks are the primary and most effective tools.
WELL SUPI........IT WAS REALLY A GREAT BLOG.....BUT THERE IS SOME MISUNDERSTANDING...ALTHOUGH I RESPECT YOUR FEELING....THERE IS A HUGE MARKETING STRATEGY BEHIND THESE ADVERTISEMENTS....FAIR AND HANDSOME TO ACTIVE MEN ARE SOME OF THE NEWLY LAUNCHED PRODUCTS IN THE MARKET....THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT MENS FEELING INSECURE...EVERYONE HAVE RIGHT TO LOOK GOOD IN THEIR SEXY OUTFITS.....
ISN'T IT?
IF YOU'RE COMPARING THE STUPID ADVERTISEMENT WITH ANYONE PERSONAL LIFE.......THEN ITS REALLY HORRIBLE......
YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR PHILIP KOTLER ONCE MORE.....
JOKING........
IT ALL ABOUT INNOVATION...
THANK GOD YOU HAD NOT SEEN THE SHAHRUKH KHAN IN LUX INTERNATIONAL SOAP WITH MANY ACCTRESS
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SHAHRUKH IS MORE SMARTER OR SEXY( AS PER YOUR VIEW........) THAN RANI MUKHERJEE OR SHRIDEVI OR AISHWARYA.....MY DEAR SUPI....TREND IS CHANGING....INNOVATION IN ADVERTISEMENT IS CHANGING...ITS ALL ABOUT TO ATTRACT LARGE ATTENTIONS....THATS ALL...
SSSSSSuperb.......! Mindblowing......!
Outstanding......!
Simply amazing comments. What an exchange of words. I never thought that a stupid beauty cream add could create such a flaming and hilarious argument. What a creative thought. <('_')>
Hi Sups,
It was nice to read your part of the agitation and the responses on such an out of the box topic.
Have you ever thought that naturally men and women are different and obviously their preferences will be different. For women its beauty, for men its physique that matters. They prefer keeping their ever increasing tummies and waistlines in check. Men work harder on that to remain adorable by their wife(ves) and/or girlfriend(s).
