Aesthetically challenged?

By Vijay Kumar

In the early days, the last rung of government employees was called Class IV staff. Later they were called Group D officers. Now the Pay Commission wants to study whether this name needs a change.

You remember India was once called a poor country, then we were called an un developed country, which was also not very appealing. So we got the tag of under devolved country and were later promoted as developing country. For all the changes only the language had to be changed not the economy.

First there used to be a mad fellow, later he became mentally deranged and then mentally handicapped and finally mentally challenged, with absolutely no change in his sanity.

Once upon a time they used to call a bad looking girl a witch; later they changed it to ugly. Now it is a crime to think of a girl as ugly; you can call her aesthetically challenged?
