The new generation kids are much more advanced, fashionable and Smart in comparison to their parents, at their age. In sharp contrast to their mother’s greased hair, girls now have shiny hair in cut to suite their personality. As for their skin, it is clean and flawless due to the use of protective sunscreens and timely treatment in case of some problem arises. They are conscious to protect themselves from harmful ultraviolet rays. They also understand that enhancing someone’s beauty doesn’t mean Just to get facially made up. Today’s youth are much aware to clean Their fingers, nails, arms, necks knees, elbows and toes too. These Parts are mentioned and emphasized here because in the process of beautification, these used to be neglected in their mother’s days.

Youngsters of these days get shiny, good set of teeth due to appropriate dental treatments. This was an alien concept to their parents. Their closet consists of clothes in various color, textile and design. In most cases, their dresses are quite comfortable, nicely fitting and perfectly suited to their busy lifestyles. A complete contrast to that of a generation ago who had at most a couple of spare clothes. The untidy and lousy look of a generation ago has vanished to be replaced by smart confident kids.

All this does not mean their fashion sense is faultless either. At least I can’t agree to it whole heartedly. Those too loose for comfort trousers, hanging below their waist are an eye shore. Why they prefer it to creased pant and shirt is beyond me, for I believe they would look a lot smarter in it than those muddy, large sandals they seem to prefer to shiny, polished leather shoes or clean fitting snickers!

Then there are some who believe it’s cool to wear haphazard long hair in aid of some ridiculous gel. No amount of explaining can convince them that they would they look better in neatly combed hair. They would definitely look smarter in well fitting trousers instead they prefer to look ridiculous in looses jeans, crumpled at bottom designed to cleans the floor.

And then there are girls in jeans and vests with large black tika on her forehead and “kajol” in her naturally beautiful black eyes? My advices leave those to your moms.

Girls too wear those low waist trousers and skirts. They are somewhat unaware or carefree about their body part and undergarments being revealed during their movements. I could not understand are they willingly revealing it at any time, any circumstances, any places and to anybody? Aren’t they aware of people around them who are bothered by unwanted and unexpected scene? Some of those girls have slim, spotless skin and nice body structure which may cool someone’s eyesight. But some of them have out of shape bulging belly. Yes, it may be matter of pride to expose beauty but isn’t it giving negative result in opposite case? If so, isn’t it better to hide it in latter case? When I see them, I remember elder women in saris; repelling others eyesight by exposed big, protruding belly with stretched marks.

Easily said “beauty lies in beholder’s eyes” as if you’ll be found beautiful in whatever style you stick too. But, the true fact is, beauty is obtained by keeping oneself clean, proper maintenance, loveliness and charm to attract beholder’s eyes.

Proper definition of beauty is to be healthy and clean physically and mentally as well. Moreover, one should have good moral character, broad knowledge, politeness and down to earth behavior and of course, pleasant smile.

The new generation kids will definitely look better if they pay attention to these inner qualities as well.
