00:00As a girl, I feel like the standards of beauty have been much higher for us, us generation, than for our mothers.

00:08Living ugly does not give us confidence.

00:10I don't like to do waxing or eyebrows or anything, but I am looked down upon the society because of this.

00:16Why are you continuously so sensitive to the whole society?

00:23Because I am living in it.

00:24No, no, no, no, no. One chooses her society.

00:27Are you living among 800 billion people?

00:28No, sir.

00:30So this society that you say is some 80 or 100 people you have chosen to allot your mind space.

00:35But very little people are like me.

00:37Most of the people are...

00:39You may say their density is lower, but millions of people will be like you.

00:46And in this virtual age, why can't you have a society of your own?

00:52How does beauty lie in cosmetics, please tell me?

00:56It doesn't.

00:56If you are unseemly and fat and bulging at all places, it doesn't matter how much you apply those cosmetics on yourself.

01:08Right?

01:08On the other hand, if you have a fit and strong body, why will you not have good skin naturally?

01:16Why will you not have decent hair?

01:18Why will you need to apply lip gloss?

01:22Thank you, sir.

01:23Thank you for your time.
