chere de amake!

my mother and I are watching an old 80's Bengali movie on television. it is hilarious. the songs, the dialogue, the dramaticness.. Its funny how i love Indian (bollywood ) movies and find nothing wrong with them but when it comes to Bengali movies, i think its the worst thing ever. Well there is a huge difference, especially in the quality. But bangladeshi movies are like..really bad fake c-grade indian movies!
my favorite line tonight from this move was in a song 'meetha meetha prem kheno titha korecho! (why do you make sweet love so bitter)'. It just doesnt sound so nice in bengali..

hey there good-lookin...

I just read a 'note' a friend of mine wrote questioning if a smart, independent woman dumbs herself for men to fit what they want us to be. also, the age old question of if it only matters to men that we look good on the outside. Honestly, I do think that most people judge each other on first impressions ( i.e making your opinion on someone in the first 17 seconds), so to a point it does matter what you look like. But i do think that eventually people get past that and move on to your personality. Well most people do. I also think that sometimes, when someone so very physically attracted to you, they want very badly for you to also be a good person (meaning, maybe they overlook a lot of bad qualities. )
Also, i think most people have an 'ideal' image of what they consider good-looking and try to find that. That does change depending on who they end up with, because nobody really can be 'ideal' or perfect. I don't like the idea of anyone settling for me or telling me that if i changed something about myself i would be so much better, especially if they're talking about my body!
I refuse to change myself for a guy. fat skinny smart stupid, whatever i might be, i am me. If they don't like it, there are plenty of other women out there for them. Every woman is unique is in her own way, and i am sure there is some one out there to appreciate that woman's individuality.
I will wait until I meet the one who appreciates mine.
