BRANDING OF HOMO SAPIENS

Its an attire,a covering and a person’s countenance

But why is it fake, immodest and lacking any sense

Its deteriorated, pampered and held responsible

For the fashion,dignity and a pretense.

Fake world,Fake dresses and fake people to come

Do we need them for our defence or just to make us tense

Its an attire,a covering and a person’s countenance

  The first thing we see when we look at a person is the way they are dressed…Dressing show significance, esteem, persona and dignity of a person…Dressing represents half of the persons outlook. We call a person pretty, adorable, fashion icon, an average, a branded and a disaster by just looking at the attire one wears…Sometimes I wonder that, Will the next generation classify humans based on the dresses one wears…The higher class of branded Ed Hardy, Lee Cooper ,Puma ,Calvin Klein, the next class of Adidas,Allen Solly and then the lower class ( which I don’t want to mention otherwise they will kill me).The fact I want to mention here is that, has this changed our minds? I mean cant one just simply wear anything rather than get in troubles finding a branded one just to grab attention and confidence. Well let me say that depends on a person. How much that matters to him.That age was good when clothes represented just a way to safeguard from the bad weather conditions and not the class.I don't say dressing up good is bad but dressing up to extreme just to please people isn't good.

In Kashmir the trend has taken quite a pace. People are now conscious of the brands. The thing that I want to mention and the reason I came up to write is that I don’t understand why modernization came up here in terms of clothes and not in came up in terms of intellect. I am concerned of those guys and girls who have so much put fashion in their minds that they have lost the sense what is right and what is wrong and what our religion says. A state was there when girls wore salwar kameez , then another state came and the salwar kameez lost its length, then another state came and girls started wearing jeans, then an era of hijab came which got revolutionized to hijabs with styles and then see through hijab and flicks got promoted. Guys too had the same type of revolution,they started with kameez shalwar,then jeans that got first torn then got tight fitted and now got promoted to different shades apart from its being held at waist and now residing at the cliff of waist begging the owners to let them hold them, hair got fist trimmed then a new shade of style came that represented spikes like leaves on a pine and now long hair holds its trend.What are we turning into ? Fashion icons or comedy of errors. The thing is we are revolutionizing, yes we are, but we are turning back to being homo sapiens.If an ancient Australopithecus or Meganthropus Erectus stands up before us we will say a trendy person is standing before us.

The question that comes to my mind : Why is fashion a concern and not our education,why brands have a priority and not our deen. Why youth want to please people and not want to enhance their souls?

People let me tell…A person is successful if he satisfies his soul and not what people think,our life is determined whether we feed our body or feed our soul.The fake world is nourished by people's happiness, and also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's soul is a person's only real obligation. All things are one. And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it (Poelho Coelho) and for us the goal should be the Akhirah and not the fake duniya and the fashion world it has build up.Its just an illusion and it wont fulfill our soul neither it will do good to us...Rest Allah knows and let He give us Hidayah  ...Ameen
