hi everyone

thankyou for reading this article and thanks to those who have left comments. It would be nice to hear from more of you......and more importantly hear what you have to say about the topic. I dont mean which complexion is better....but rather what you think about the deeply ingrained idea that being darker skinned is perceived as a negative attribute in asian culture.

Please be open and feel free to leave your views on this. Thanks.

Fair girls are `pheeki`. ``Sanwali` girls are `Namkeen`. Fair girls are boring and uptight. Sanwali girls are intelligent and fun friends. Dark complexioned girls are much superior to Goro Gori girls.
