Fair complexioned people fair in feelings/misconception or truth…

A general conception often we bear in mind that people with sharp and regular features and fair complexion, are always fraught with serene, limpid and tender feelings. Their heart, always brimming with high class positive thoughts. This conception somehow inducted in our mind from time immemorial Even our old scriptures and texts played a great role to evolve this conception. With the advancement of civilization, and induction of science and Technics, multitude of books along with cinematic world too helped to propagate and spread the same theory.

                 The “apartheid” is inscribed in our mind

 The reality is, we are born with the genetic code of “apartheid.” This is a complex matrix, which can be described by a simple instance. Every one loves the rose flower, in comparison to another lesser beautiful and lesser aromatic flower. A dogma that a charming person in all probabilities, is destined to be blessed with a heart, full of sweet feelings. This conception is a part and parcel of our long old tradition.

We easily can support this view, with the help of citations mentioned in our scriptures and texts of old Hindu culture. Our almost all gods and goddess, saints and seers are depicted with charming persona, with an Ora of its own kind. Whilst the class, proclaimed as antagonist to them (demons) depicted as clumsy, flabby, grotesque, dark skinned with horns and full of vices. Both have had the vast difference in their dietary chart. The class with charming persona is vegetarian, and another non-vegetarian one.

                                           Fixed parameters

 Again when we focus ourselves, upon the aggrandizement of element of beauty in context to cinema. Cinema as visuals, has got more direct and sharp effects on our thinking and molding of the thoughts. In cinematography, a prefixed principle is, “hero and heroine” as the lead character of the story, are bound to be extra ordinarily beautiful and full of grace, And often they are as such.

In contrast to them, the looks of villain is supposed to be clumsy and cruel,(Though in fact, he may be the person with charming features) and repulsive in looks. His apparel and other wears and gears, should be awkward, so as to generate hatred only. All this is because his depiction is of a man with negative thinking.

                                                Cinematic misconception

A parameter is already fixed, though he looks like a man, but in fact, he is devoid of any human feeling. Whilst, hero and heroine as lead character are entitled to be depicted as man and woman saturated with amorous and tender feelings. Added with a privilege to express their good feelings. In a cine story, a villain since being devoid of all human feelings, is not befitted to make a love with heroine. Villain always depicted as a creature, mad after her. In a juxtapose, heroine is mad after the hero . So the villain is doomed to be depicted as rapist, who conveys the ill feelings towards heroine.

Dear sir, if the same was bound to happen in real life, and haply so called villain would have succeeded marrying heroine. Then it was less or more expected on the part of villain, as a husband to foster some tender feelings for his wife. Isn’t it?

Now we come to another frame of movie. As per formula of movie making, hero and heroine are handsome and cute one. They are shown, confronting with so and so depicted dreaded villain and his gang. In case, if villain or his gang member hurts hero or heroine physically; their pain is felt by audience in the hall. Though in the same sequence, when hero takes out his pistol and guns down villain and his gang members. The same audience applaud this heroic deed with clapping and shouts. Why sir? Whether this does not amount to display of cruelty, on the death of villain and his gang members. They were killed like insects, and audience felt no pity for them. Isn’t a strange thing?

                                                        Causes 

What is the reason behind all this? SIMPLE!  Any thing, that does not look soothing, don’t arrest our attention. In other words any thing depicted badly, be it a portrait or sculptor,  we with a biased sense, begin to foster a negative view for that. It,s a reflective action, meaning there by, we generally don’t have control over our display ,of feelings in such cases. Likewise, when we mock at the love affair of some boy and girl with ordinary features and dark skin. We don’t grant them a space of acceptance, with the same grandeur and depth as we grant it to a charming couple.

What it connotes? Somewhere at some niche of our heart, we are not eager to grant them a space as human being. And this is, on account of their being not handsome,cute or charming one. They are at par animal to us. And this is a debacle, in this kind of circumstantial cases. The big irony is, the majority of number of people, disgracefully persecute, torment and deride the ordinary features people. Though in fact, they too in by themselves, belong to the same ordinary features looking category.This is the horrific side of the psychology of man kind.

                                   A psychological complexity

 Whether this all is an “Inferiority feeling complex.” In that, oneself backward in one’s own eyes. Having an inveterate perception that ordinary featured people like me, never can obtain this privileged class category’s status. The another miraculous outcome is there! Some people in common category described above, successfully break through this barrier of backwardness and succeed to “excel” them.

Every one, can ably cross this “imaginary barrier” of ” I am not worth doing this.” Just think of this imaginary preposition! If a handsome, charming person does not take bath for continuous one week, and also does not brush his teeth. He too will stink like a pig, so that, you being a person with ordinary features but with a tidy habit won’t with stand his company. You won’t go near him.

The reality of beauty lies inside our heart and that is portrayed by our behaviour with rest of people in our diurnal business of life. In contrast, we make up an image about beautiful and handsome people, they are supposed to be affable, practical and good entrepreneur. Whilst it,s not true in majority of cases. Inside their heart, you will find them indecent, arrogant and in fact they are as such. Penned by– Vinay Pharasi…..
