    I could not agree with you more. I remember I was once offered in market such a product to become gori! When I told the saleslady, I am fine he way I am, she modified her theme and said it would improve my skin tone or something. I thanked her and moved on.

    oh, and fair and lovely is now being marketed as a vitamin cream, and a ‘beauty parlour at home’ treatment… UGH.

    Thanks Gangadhar, please read the English version here…

    Mridula, because “fairnes” is becoming politically incorrect, marketers now try passing these off as skin care products.. terrible idea though!

    Uma :) beauty parlour at home!

    SK, great idea - you can use this one that I have posted…
