The PCPs Monomania!!






“Brush your teeth and bath twice a day!.. “
 “Wash your bowl first thing in the morning and use soap to clean your hands every time you use toilets… Keep your nails trim and tidy. ..” 
“Go, Cut your hair Messy!.. “
“Y are your cloths this shabby?! Did you roll on the ground even today!?..”

In every normal household, the little ones get to listen to these mantras on a regular basis. These basic lessons of cleanliness are no more lectured in wealthy schools, because even the new born there, knows all this well.
Human race has greatly evolved and so is the legacy of cleanliness in the minds of people. “Dent has advised to brush at least twice. So I will brush with gun care in the morning and with the super sensitive before bed. And for safer side, will brush third time with the salt, clove and neem combo during the day. But I need extra care during my nightouts na?, teeth will be the much more visible in the dark right. So then an extra visible white plus is obviously a must!” Ooof!.. Watchout darling! You Brush and brush and there is hardly any enamel left in there. And after this there is mouth wash and handy mouth spray. But why?? May be because, it must smell good even when you spit!


They roll out meters of tissues daily just to crush and throw into the bin because everyone is doing it. If food is to be taken by hands, then it must be flavored with hand sanitizer these days. Every day after bath there is that rising mist fog, deo and spray all over the room. It’s a restless feel, if that suffocating scent bottle is empty and there isn’t any stock at home. And yaeh now everyone is a celebrity.  It’s not signature anymore, fans ask for selfies boss!! So your normal skin will need oil balance, dryness check, and milk and moisture control at regular intervals. When your granny runs behind to oil your hair shrub. There is a shrill!! ”Oh stop it Granny! My head is no engine! :-p. I am maintaining it with beer shampoo, cream, gel, spray and serum. Don’t touch and spoil it, pleeese” OMG! It’s after all Hair buddy!

You have cream for your nails, balm, glue, stick and paste for your lips, special talc for face, nose, chin and each body part separate! Eyes, the most beautiful part of your face has got an exclusive list for the lashes, lid, and the dark circles around. And if you think am talking about the all-girls stuff, sorry you have got it wrong. All the above mentioned list holds brands for men too. If this craze for personal care products (PCPs) continues, the great Ganges and every other water stream will soon run foaming with  sweet alluring aromas! But unfortunately the fishes aren’t used to these cosmetic brands yet. So is the case with every other land and entire aquatic community.


 It’s weird and contradictory that this same country is well known for open defecation. We still have thousands of school dropouts because those schools doesn’t have a proper toilet. These two contradictory issues concerning the environment and society, should be viewed with a broad and deep perspective. Please guys, Get your cleanliness and beauty legacy right!
