New 'falsies' are dangerously false

           Not only false, but dangerous too-this is the stark reality reported by penny from the United Kingdom, in a write -up on 'implant scandal' published in a local English -language daily on 12th January. It brings out the tragedy of false hopes and promises, and the despair of countless French women's failed attempt to glamorise.
          The history of woman's figure augmenting started with the age-old 'falsies' and today it has become a high tech , surgical procedure needing full anaesthesia and risks, all undergone in search of figure upgrading, that is transformed to 'glamour at first glance'. However the latest craze of French women via 'surgical implants' has led to large-scale medical tragedy. Their folly has added burden to the social cost of surgical rectification and cure , including spill-over to dangerous medical after-effect. The surgical implant, by choice, cost per person was reportedly $5000.00 which comes to around Tk 5 lakh. The amount is enough to provide basic feeding for a poor Bangladeshi family of five for about eight years.
        If this be the price of luxury (?) for the well to do west, then let us be poor and content within our limitations , without further trying to enhance what nature has gifted. After all, lest we forget,'pride precedes tha fall.'
