A really sensitive topic, literally. I am talking about stuff like waxing, threading and most of all bikini and underarm waxing. Yeah, yeah don't be grossed out, you do it or your friend does it, or your mom.. Okay I must shut up.

Some people say it is hygienic, some claim they like it that way. But I think mostly we end up with our arms raised flinching in the parlor because of the society where even girls will mock you for having bodily hair. Sigh.

I think threading is the worst, it is like swords on your forehead and with hair like mine, the parlor women kept recommending to thread my eyebrows since I was 12. I never relented until my farewell in class 12th and that too because a bunch of cousins chased me to the parlor.

I think arm and leg waxing is relatively painless so I dont mind it much but underarm and nether region waxing! Oh God why!

So the question that keeps bugging me is, Should we bear horrible pain just for the sake of beauty?

I have decided not to for now. Have been taking pride in my underarm hair. Yeah, yeah dont make that face. I am not braiding them. Yet.

And ooh I love that uni-brow thing too. Maybe.
