{Once upon a time there was a girl called Aliya. She lived in a city in Pakistan, and she had everything she could have ever wanted. Except, that is, for a fair complexion.}


...impossible...romair uncle told us that unlike indians, pakistanis are fair...:)

bina...very pitta hoa topic but i like the way u went about it..okay i got a confession to make..i use fair n lovely very very liberally on my feet..iv been doing so for almost 2 years now...the looks i get from shopkeepers when i ask for a barra tube is most amusing... its part smirking and part unbelieving..when i initially started off at university, the long walks at the campus caused my previously very pretty feet to turn into ugly orange and black striped claws..wearing chappals became an azaab as the pattis would be replicated on my skin and at the end of the first month at university, my feet loooked truly horrendous..so when a girl with very very pretty feet in chappals hanging outta the same point bus as me told me one fine sunny afternoon `fair n lovely lagao..bohat tight sunblock hae` i got a tube on way home and tried it..in exactly 2 weeks my zebra looking feet were transformed to their former glory...
smirk not those reading *dramatic eye blink* u can stand in the sun for two hours in slinky kolapuris, still, fair n lovely will protect you- not one mark, not ONE i swear...every other sun block i tried failed, no banana shanana boat, body wody shop worked...and now iv got some 15 to 20 girls in my class hooked onto the same..hang me :0)
