Beauty - The Aditi Way

beauty-and-me
Being beautiful is a state of mind. Frankly speaking I have never really felt beautiful looking myself in the mirror. It is actually when I see myself with my eyes closed that I find myself beautiful. What else would I call my state of being which has neither extra baggage of guilt, nor the self-checked in luggage of grief and sorrows. It has been beautiful in every part of it, from each and every corner that I have routed in my life. Beautiful friends and family around me has rubbed off their beauty in me. With years and age passing by, people tell me that I have become more beautiful. I know for sure it is not a factor of cosmetics painted on the face nor the trendy wardrobe to complement. Many a times we fail to believe that it is not the masking that beautifies; rather the plain, simplicity that comes out as the foundation of beauty. Simply put, white is the colour of purity, so is the case with beauty.

On the contrary, I do not understand why such an obsession to look beautiful? Beauty is rather an abstract form, which can take shape and dimensions as per an individualist perception. How else you explain the sudden and gradual fascination for a tanned complexion. In the growing up years, globally it was the WHITE that marked the basic criteria for BEAUTY. Luckily with times passing by, definition of beauty has broadened and included bronze complexion as the very entrant in the beauty circles.

Clarity of heart and earnest intentions do have a way to work up on the overall human body structure. Even the toughest and unnoticed body parts like the elbows glow with happiness and beauty when you strive to make your thoughts and mind beautiful.
wake up to the internal scrub that sloughs off the impurities and invigorates each and every bit of you.

Loving life in the process of living it, gifts the boundless beauty as a gift. Cherish it in your heart and soul; it is bound to catch up all over you!!
