Have you ever imagined how it would have been if sheila would have shaken her belly button with a piercing or your own munni with a pierced eye-brow heart-rending in Madhuri Dixit’s “hum pe ye kisne hara rang dala” style? The spectators would have felt more seductive and “jhandu baam” Right? Its high time guys…Airhostesses are now bored of the same old white-transparent French manicure, they need some flying high colours.
Colours, designs, patterns are in our cultural roots, just the forms and ways of presenting has changed. From the miniature paintings of 17th century, which even today is worldwide renowned for its beauty and impeccable detailing, has the idea of conveying reality that existed beyond specific vantage point. They are counted as one of the many things that make a country proud of its cultural heritage. Those miniature paintings followed till 20th century with trivial change in the colours and shapes of Lords and Gods. And over the centuries, their effect has diminished a lot and today...In 21st century, if you ask the youth about “miniature paintings”, they will probably ask you to come again, stare at you for a couple of minutes with wide opened eyes and say “what s that?”
Today’s generation isn’t concerned about the country’s heritage as much as they are about if they got their chipped nail diluted or their appointments at the saloon for the manicure and pedicure. Yes! It’s about body piercing, nail arts, tattoos, and your makeover! You name it and they’ll love it, because it’s trendy and funky, but the roots are still in the 17th century. Body piercing, is the practice of puncturing or cutting a part of the human body, creating an opening in which jewellery may be worn. The oldest mummified remains ever discovered were sporting earrings, attesting to the existence of the practice more than 5,000 years ago, while nose piercing has been very common since 1500 B.C. Nail art is a very specialized cosmetic field. Nail lacquering, nail painting, nail decoration and nail piercing are some different nail art ideas, which are popular all over the world. Nail art was popular in ancient India in the form of henna painting and application of fragrances. Ancient Indian tribes were also very adept at spectacular nail decorations. Today nail art has been a profession, a way to represent your beautiful art on nails. Also, several degree and diploma programmes have been started by different institutes for aspiring nailists.
Coming up to the body tattoos which were used in earlier centuries by the women to decorate themselves for some occasion. Also, it was a tradition to wear face tattoos for warriors. Tattoos were also used on animals for branding or identification. And today tattoos are used to express love, by guys and girls by getting their girl’s/guy’s, sister’s, brother’s name pigmented in their skins as if they are “ghajini’s Amir khan” to forget them…
Ultimately, the basics of English will remain “A-Z”, in order to form “A-Apple”. In the same way, even today somehow we are interlinked to our ancestors and older centuries, the fragrance of this soil will always remain in our bodies and will die with us.
