Vintage Indian Advertisements 2.05

Very nice. Took me back to some old sportstar mags that I used to read as a kid. What does a dreamflower look like? Is there even such a flower? 🙂The lengths one goes to appear lighter skinned in India :).

hi…first time here…love this space..keep posting !

Hey… same anon. reader again…Those pics are cool! 😀BTW, how do you get the ‘Recent Comments’ thing on the side, if you don’t mind my asking, please?

<>Bharath<> I too wonder. Pond’s Dreamflower has been a favourite with Indians (female and male) since its launch in 1956. The love for the lighter skin is the great Indian passion. Some of my male friends used Fair & Lovely, now they even got a masculine fairness cream Fair & Handsome.<> Dwaipayan<> Yeah, me too.<> BVN<> I will. Thanks for the visit.

Hey…Thank you for that link, but it says:<>So, I sat down and wrote my own little JavaScript Blogger template hack to extend the Blogger comment functionality. Now there is a commenting form right on the comments page.<>I do not want a commenting form right on the comments page, but a section on the side where it says ‘Recent Comments’, and displays the recent comments made, like you had on here…?“The love for the lighter skin is the great Indian passion. ” – so true. It was once a passion in Britain too, in the Elizabethan times, if I remember any of my history from high school! The paintings of the high class people were all painted as having very bright skin… I don’t know why, personally I think a tan is as beautiful as you can get. But whatever, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder… 😉Thank you.

Yes, that is the one… thank you very much! Much appreciated…– o anonymous reader
