There was a saying not long ago that, ` Girls should be seen
not heard!’ Well that has been relegated to the recycle bin literally. Most
homes now boast of a PC as it has become an essential gadget for communication
and for data processing. But more than its utility for business and knowledge
it is being used by the youth as a gizmo of peer pressure and expression.
The girls of today
are assertive and go-getters. They are logging on to the net and giving vent to
their ideas and expressions. Girl Power is here to stay!
A new website with a catchy name, https://sunsilkgangofgirls.com has
become the target of teenage girls. It is a site for young girls that have
almost a pride of over 24, 000 members who express themselves freely on any
subject. They form gangs with particular interests, where they jot down their
thoughts and get to interact with other members from all over India. There are different sections
for girlie things like beauty and fashion and also the creamiest jobs
available, forums about family and blogs to vent their fundas.
There are some lip-smacking recipes too shared by Tashu,
games, a chat site and prizes are given to the winners of the Gang Wars too.
The Gen X is here with a bang and they just wanna be heard,
nothing and no one can hold them down anymore. For the narcissistic divas there
is a forum called B for Beauty, Beauty Buzz, Body Beautiful and surprisingly
check your Beauty IQ.A separate section is devoted for hair care, hair styles,
products, an agony aunt as a hair Guru and the cherry on the cake is the
Makeover Machine wherein you can post your picture and check out which hair
style suits your face-long or short. Braided or loose! Without becoming a guinea pig at the hands of
your beautician it helps you to define your look, the make up that suits you
best and the accessories that go with it too. One can check out if one looks
good in pink streaked hair or an elegant chignon! Another forum is for Fashion
Fundas, Stylometer and Style File.
If these sound
frivolous then there are the ones on Family, Relationships, Heart to Heart
where we can find our young girls really discussing about family and it is a
revelation to know that they do still believe that family is a solid foundation
and blood is always thicker than water! Love Quest is to do with small time
crushed to big time love affairs that are a success or gone awry.
We have to match the new generation
step to step, so if you can’t leave them then join them!
