Kiran77ji, I appreciate your comments.We are poles apart in our views it seems.I see beauty contest as not as much productive and creative compared to academia for example.You see it the other way.I dont take sajha posts as serious at all and dont regard it a public forum in truest sense that holds a merit and warrants my opinion to be counted as an archive of public discussion.So for me it's just a venue of writing whatever I deem right and provoke discussion and debates,albeit invisible,from people like you who might hold differing views. So it's a personal forum for me and I write whatever I want to. To be fixated in my views is what I am and will always be,you can argue for the merits of beauty contests and I can argue agaisnt it and for something else that I think is right. How do you measure beauty by the way? what are the standards/formulae? If the beauty lies in the eyes of beholders,then why there be a need of it to show it off? My question rather wanted a little bit of delving into the philosophical discourse of needing a beauty show or not,but you made it of as meritorious as an academic pusuit is.And the utmost important who are these corporate executives who have the right to either qualify or disqualify someone as miss nepal/usa/universe? My question to seek the integrity and the consistency of their judgement. But since you seem to be such an ardent supporter of such shows I do have some questions just because of curiousity. You said being able to win and participate in beauty contest needs as hard a work as studying is. You didnt write why a beauty queen needs to walk in a feline fashion? is it because the viewers and judges of her movement have some banalistic aura that sparks some deeply enlightening meter that qualifies her as the best cat walk? Or may be the ramification of walk takes them into some sort of Eucladian theory of geometry from where only she is fitted into the right shape and size that fits into the mathematical equation of beauty? I have not seen a single Miss Nepal cross the corridors of Nepali airlines cabin,let alone them impacting the lives of Nepalese people. By the way Tyra Banks doesnt sound like a Nepali name to me,is it the case? And a final note: No I dont need to fight for Mr Pokhara and Mr Dharan. My views are clear on these things,rather you might want to consider it for yourself
