My back hurts, and no it's not because I've been lying on it having some fun. It's because ARANI ISSA! articles happened to grow from a 35 to 40. But I have met the deadline. It's all done now, oh and I've backed it up for safety's sake. I feel like hitting my twin for putting me through so much misery, but I won't because I gladly do it and every year his requests are getting bolder and bolder. He actually told me it would be 25 articles, which grew to 30, then to 35, and finally to 40. I have written so much about medical stuff that I think I can call myself a doctor, or at the very least a skilled plastic surgeon.
But I don't like gore and blood. And to be honest, sometimes I think people do not need plastic surgery but a full-time shrink. Body Dysmporphia runs high in ARANI ISSA! applicants. On interviewing them, a lot see what isn't there. How can a 55kg young woman think of herself as fat?? And why do they all use the nastiest of words to describe themselves? And is ARANI ISSA! really fixing things?
The world seems obsessed about image. But how did my Nanna Ginnie and my Nanna Karm survive without plastic surgery? They went on about life and aged gracefully, and nobody ever thought they were ugly. They liked wearing jewellery on occasions (that's were my jewellery gene comes from), they dressed up during the village feast, on weddings. But apart from that, they did not make a fuss when the first grey hair popped out. And they were loved people who were kind, who smiled and who didn't have it easy.
And about ARANI ISSA! That translates to Watch Me Now! Hmmmm it sounds rather as if someone has a bone to pick with the world. As if hey world, I've had enough of you treating me like shit.... watch me now! The poignant truth is that we are treated the way we allow ourselves to be treated. I have gone through so many stares and giggles, and tears. Not now. Now I stare back, hold the stare and make whoever it is actually take a step back. Because yes, sometimes you do have to throw your weight around. I could have an ARANI ISSA! makeover in a snap And people actually ask.... why don't you get yourself on TV? Because as a complete opposite to my twin I hate TV, there is no way on earth I am letting a camera and a boom mike onto my personal life. That stops with me. And why does ARANI ISSA! grow stronger each year? Because we are a nation of speculative, nosey people who love to know what's going on with this one and that. It is the same as if flicking venitian blinds to see what is going on with the family opposite us. But this time, it's all right to do it because you just switch the channel on. Because opening the door to another one's suffering makes us feel we are not alone. And that makes it all easier to live with.
