All of us heard of second childhood. I
thought I’ll tell you a story of a person in her second teenage. We’ll stick to
the same old heroine, Padma.
********************
Padma turned off the TV after her
channel- surfing habit showed her the commercial of “No Pimples- Softy Skin”
cream for the umpteenth time. The advertisement featured a fair complexioned girl
with red eruptions all over her face, looking eagerly at boys of her college, wondering
if any one of them, who were busy with other girls, would throw a second glance
at her. Suddenly another girl pops up from nowhere and gives her a bottle of
the “No Pimples- Softy Skin” cream and lo and behold, the indifferent girls of the
previous scene are now trying desperately to hold the attention of their boys, even
as the latter are unable to take their eyes off this “No Pimples- Softy Skin”
girl.
