Posted on the 08 April 2020 by Sampathkumar Sampath

Life is mostly about perceptions and stereotypes !!sometime back I got interested in a news item, primarily   because I misread the heading ! – it was: ‘ You can be 5'1" and still win the Miss World contest – I misread it as ‘you can be 51 and still win the Miss World contest’ – realized my folly only in the end.   Beauty Pageants !  ~ Miss England 2019 returns for service ! Miss Universe, Miss World .. .. … can you identify the person here ! ~ and would you be rated high if you can or would people feel happy in telling I know not ! ? – this post is aboutMiss England 2019 The title "Miss Universe" was first used by the International Pageant of Pulchritude in 1926. This contest was held annually until 1935, when the Great Depression and other events preceding World War II led to its demise. The current Miss Universe pageant was founded in 1952 by Pacific Knitting Mills, a California-based clothing company and manufacturer of Catalina Swimwear. Beauty Pageants ! – some hold the view that they are held to promote so calledbeauty products and promote their merchandise in third world countries – fairness creams now sell well in remote villages too – is one view .. .. .. another often criticized one is the Q & A of the top contestants.   In this beautiful World, many actions are carefully mimicked ….. the announcement goes …. ‘and the winner is’ ……….. the predictable reaction of the winner is display of emotions writ large in face trying to say that one does not believe it as tears roll in cheeks …. Aped from cinema Award winning ceremonies ….   Beauty queensare not exactly noted for their brains as judges tend to be more impressed with their looks and long legs.Some reports put it that unusually, entrantsatMiss France pageantweretested on their general knowledge to show they were not just a pretty face. The test reportedly caused 'panic' among the 33 contestants who took part at the televised competition on the French-speaking island of Mauritius.Not that the questions were too tough. They included: 'What's the average price of a baguette?' 'Who is Usain Bolt'? 'Complete the squence: A, E, I ....' and 'Who is the Prime Minister of France'? The perceived notion is that – When asked – who is the most influential person in life ……… most participants would say Mother Teresa and she would try to emulate.   Because she liked to help poor and I like to help poor too !;I want to change this world by my social cause…. Or some would say it is own mother, who fought odds to bring her up to such a big position in life !!... ~ and most of the winners would say that they would like to render social service with the money earned … !But resist the temptation to join the bandwagon to say ‘ beauty often has no brains’ - Kara McCullough, who represented USA in Miss Universe isa scientist working for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. .. .. and the post is about Miss England Winner, an Indian at that, returning to UK to assist the Nation’s health workers amidst the corona virus outbreak.
