It'a all about YOU.

By. Medha Gupta, Prateek Vatash, Radhika Mantri, Tanushree Agarwal





Dear Reader/Viewer,

It is a great honour for us to present to you this work of art, which is a collaboration of thoughts on YOU. Or so the magazines say to YOU.

After a great deal of thought, research and reading we have come to a general consensus about YOU. YOU are fat, even if YOU are a bag of bones and YOU need to loose weight. YOUR skin colour is all wrong and YOU really ought to do something about those dark circles and wrinkles that don’t exist yet. Plastic surgery and botox will give YOU the new YOU, that we all desire to see YOU as. YOU need to spend more time in the salon and YOU definitely need to indulge in the beauty products because we feel YOU are worth it, even if YOU don’t. YOU see, we really care. About YOU. If YOU are a woman, YOU are not womanly enough and if YOU are a man, YOU really gotta work at it dude! YOU may be a victim to a lot of other imperfections as yet undiscovered; but rest assured, YOU will be informed in time.

If you really believed all that, we just YOU-ed you!

We just gave you a taste of what the media is doing today on a much larger scale. Psyching you into believing that you are imperfect as you are and no matter how hard you try, you are never quite there. In this day and age of knowledge and technology, we ought to realize that we are beautiful the way we were created. Our individuality is what separates us from being mere creatures , and to have a standard dictated to us by the Media is destroying the ability for us to be unlike and special in our own way. As the smartest creatures on the planet, it is only our duty to do so.

The REAL YOU, is greater than the media propagated ‘YOU’. Following the latter makes you a part of ‘THEM’, and not you at all. What we need you to do , is stop following articles and advertisements mindlessly. Rejoice in the self and the individuality that you have been blessed with.

Yours sincerely,

Worried about YOU.
