The ideation for this post was from a conversation I couldn’t help overhearing in the bathrooms. With four generation of actresses trying to help shahrukh khan get out of the bathtub, the metrosexual man is on the way to be transformed into a ubersexual man who will later be transformed to ribersexual man(whatever that means) if this ad’s theme is continued into the next two decades. One of my batchmates was describing exfoliation to someone who just cannot believe that there is no relation between foliage and exfoliation(the language never ceases to surprise). The conversation made me realize the earthy nature of the homosapien and his long-lasting relation with snakes. If we integrate the scientific theories along with the religious ones, we kinda get a unified theory that leads me to believe that we are in the midst of a change that might never end. It starts of with the evolution of the sea creatures from a single-celled organism. Then came reptiles like snakes, then the mammals and then man. After this, god made woman and while this adam and eve lived happily in paradise, the snake tempted them to have apple. God took the snakes legs and banished man. But with the vagaries of life, man has to resort to different ways of exfoliating. While the snakes can have a heavy lunch, drink lot of water, lay still with eyes open for days together man cannot afford to do this(the bschools say that if u stay still, the competition will run you down and I have been running ever since). And this is where you cosmetic companies come in. You are provided with pastes, creams and applications that perform complex activities which only the best scientists can discern(they attempt to explain it with diagrams which results in ppl who do not want the product ending up buying it-I have lost 20 pounds ever since). And during this time,you need not drink lot of water to moult yourself. And thus, the modern man is able to rip off a layer regularly(ofcourse there are layers and layers) thus enabling the companies to reverse the old adage to “Infront of every woman lies a man”
