What is in a hair? - Chennai Beauty

What is in a hair?

Why are women obsessed about maintaining their hair? What difference does it make if we make the hair straight or whatever they want to do?

If cinema heroines are doing straightening or a modelling person does the same, then there is a reason to it. Why do normal ladies want to do straightening by spending about Rs.10,000 in Chennai or in that case in India. I might be quoting less - it costs probably more than that.

What is the use out of making the hair straight? That makes it longer? Is that the reason you are trying to make it straightened? Don't we want to just grow, as we have been in doing in a traditional manner?

When someone is earning Rs.30,000 to Rs.50,000 a month, why would they spend Rs.10,000 for just a hair straightening? Don't you think it is completely idiotic to do that?

I am sorry, if I am not understanding - but please explain me what is the reason to spend that much money on a hair thing? There are lot better things that can be done when we can do with that same money.

Darker businesses of Chennai - Chennai Sex

I have written an article before relating to prostitution in Chennai.

When I was analyzing the keywords for which Chennai was being searched for in internet and what is the top most search about Chennai - I was surprised by a fact that "chennai sex" was one of the important keywords around it.

There are lot of folks searching for it and trying to find about Chennai 'Sex' in internet. There is definitely something fishy about this fact in Chennai, that is why people are searching for and trying to find how they can achieve this in chennai.

Is still Chennai being famous/notorious for prostitution? Are there many agents and functionaries functioning for prostitution in Chennai? Are even people (tourists) looking for sex tourism or massage in Chennai?

This is definitely a darker side of Chennai, given that Chennai is a night city and there is lot of floating population and not to forget it is a tourist destination for even people in India (that is other parts of the country).

I know this busienss feeds lot of families, and it is ok to some extent in a society, but this should not be too much and a flourishing business.

I came to know to this fact, only by the number of people searching for this particular fact in Internet.

Overall - the affected ones are youngsters and even girls are sexually abused, due to their poverty.

I am wishing this business does not flourish and the youngsters go in right path in life, especially the girl folks!

Chennai Culture Analysis : Working women or housewife is good?

In today's expensive lifestyle, it is very difficult to live, save and prosper into a wealthy family just by one income. Life demands for both husband and wife to earn, spend and save.

When I was looking for my wife(arranged marriage), I had this debate inside myself for whether I have to choose working woman or a housewife. May be this analysis would help anybody in the same boat.

Let us analyze what are the advantages and disadvantages of a housewife for a family.

Advantages of working women over housewives.
1) More money into the family finance.
2) Busy mind, is productive. Idle mind is devil's workshop
3) Career for both husband and wife is in good shape.
4) If there is an emergency or worst cases, woman member of the family should be able to take over and balance the financial stability in the family.
5) Whole family is productive, in terms of work.

Advantages of housewife over working woman:
1) If one person is working outside and another is taking care of the family. That is the best thing for the family. All the households are taken care.
2) Kids are well taken care. Ask any working woman about their kids - they would feel bad and guilty for not taking care of them to the full extent - whatever age it is.
3) Happy family, with whatever money is available.
4) Relations are maintained.
5) Provided the family lives economically(of whatever income), a happy family.

Disclaimer: Please note these are my personal views and not intended to hurt anyone.

You wanted to know - what I chose?
At last, I was lucky(arranged marriage) to get a mix of both of them. May be that is the best option for anyone. Opinions differ...

Chennai Beauty Parlour: Beauty Business

Based on 2004 statistics, there were 1500 beauty parlours in Chennai.
Can you believe it? Imagine, how many beauty parlors might be there in Chennai right now in 2008?

It is a human desire to maintain your body and skin. Since we lack both time and patience, most of us prefer that someone else does it for us as only then can we relax and enjoy.

It is estimated that there are over 1,500 beauty parlours in Chennai. This explosive growth has come about in less that a decade's time, says Indu whose family owns three parlours - one on Town Hall Road and two in Anna Nagar and is planning a fourth. She endorses that beauty business rakes in money if only you are able to give "superior and satisfying services" to your customer.

What scares the Jain family successfully running their salon in KK Nagar for almost two decades now is the mushrooming of beauty parlours.

"The problem is an unregulated business with no monitoring,'' says Mr.Rishabh Kumar Jain and shares that nearly 1,000 parlours in the temple town are run by either unqualified or inexperienced diploma holders from their homes.

"There are women who do not want to be seen visiting a parlour and are comfortable walking into the house of her friendly nextdoor neighbour or are known to enter a parlour after sunset to avoid being spotted easily,'' says Indu, who also feels that beauty clinics have undergone a sea change over the years. The big ones who can afford are fast converting into complete centers of fitness and personality enhancement than simply restricting themselves to beauty lifting services.

The low investment-high return feel good factor of beauty business lures young girls take up a career in beauty procedures and techniques. Chennai itself gets 60-odd students from the Women's Polytechnic besides an equal number from other crash courses every year. While some of them join the big parlours to acquire practical experience, many it seems start business straightaway from their homes and garages or even makeshift sheds investing as less as Rs.50,000.

Can you believe it takes Rs.6000 to Rs.10,000 for hair straightening in Chennai?

The history of Chennai will not be complete without mentioning the name of Rani Mangammal, the woman of great skill and sagacity.
