The pimple ate my confidence!

Like the rising dough overnight, When I glance into the mirror, They stare back at me mockingly, Away goes my day with a bad start. I don't want anyone pointing at them today. The one on my chin bore a son, Even my bangs fail to hide the one on my forehead, The oozing pus leave people staring, Even Rudolph will laugh at me. The urge to squeeze it is crazy, Some vanish leaving a trace, As a token I dare not forget. I'm 24 kindly stop following me, Kindly Invade a teen nearing puberty. Ok so if you guys still didn't get what I was talking about in my poem --- it's PIMPLES For the past 4 years I have been in a close relationship with acne but now I'm so happy to say that I broke free from its clutches.We were as inseparable like dosa and chutney! Not anymore. So when it comes to pimples I have taken PHD in it. Here is what I have learnt! 1.Change your pillow cover 2. Clean your phone screen 3.If your hair has dandruff.Get rid of it 4.

India vs. Dusky skin

We are not dark because we dipped ourselves in cow-dung. We are the naturally tanned habitat. So be jealous. But don't discriminate. We are very much human like you ! We eat ,love and live just like you .Then Why are we looked upon with disgust? If you can fall in love with dark chocolate, black tees, black hair, black coffee &black shoes then why not dark skin?  In India if you are a kali (black/dark) bride be ready to be mocked by your in-laws, relatives and just basically everyone you meet. Suppose you bore a dark child then darling it's better you hang yourself !  If not ,be ready to be killed inch by inch by the loving society's sarcastic remarks every second of your life . The westerners love our sand brown colour so much that they go to tanning parlors to achieve this skin tone .Eventually ending up with skin cancer. This skin tone is the most mimicked in the makeup industry. We on the other hand scrub our faces with steroid creams and bleach till only our facia...

Hugging with letters

Gone are the days when we recieved or sent cards. Birthday,christmas,diwali...even friendship day cards. I use to fall in love with them. I used to even hang the cards from one end to the other with a thread in my room! I have kept all those safe with me. My most treasured possessions . Yeah I know it sounds kiddish! But I cannot explain how much I love cards & letters !!  It also serves as an historical record ! Imagine your great grandchildren finding these cards. They will be able to travel back to your world. They get a peek into your creative side. You are indirectly passing on a message to them.....' How to value relationships' !!!  .Nothing more satisfying than seeing a greeting card addressed in your name in the mailbox when your eyes are tired of seeing the bills &magazines !  Sending a message on whatsapp or  fb might be easier ( anyone can do that) but the joy in a person's face when they get a card or a letter just cannot be masked. Just the ...
