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 facial hairs become golden. Microdermabrasion and Botox are the trend nowadays .In microdermabrasion a layer of your skin is scraped off and in Botox your wrinkles are hidden! You end up looking like an expressionless doll! It started with Hollywood catching it's way to Bollywood and now it's a trend among the common people both young and old especially the brides to be !! Anything you do against your natural body is going to harm you in the long run! It might give you a temporary glow but never a permanent solution ! You will age faster, become highly sensitive to sunlight, have uncontrollable acne eruptions and lots more ! At that point of time you can only wish to get your old skin back!. Putting on makeup is understandable it can boost a person's self esteem. Splashing water will take off the makeup so you can call it temporary But these things like Botox and microdermabrasion are irreversible. I hope someday this colourism ends and people will respect each other based on their character,talents & personality! Beauty is in the eyes of the owner not the beholder. Mind is beauty. How can we talk about the racism we face abroad if we are discriminating within our own country to our own people?

His Final Message to the World: Don’t Give Up on Your Dream”

My father’s brother — our dearest Lalu Uncle — went to be with the Lord in October 2025. He had travelled to Delhi to deliver this TEDx talk, but sadly, he never got the chance. He passed away before he could step onto that stage. If he had delivered this speech, it would have been one of the most inspiring and viral talks of all time. Take just 2 minutes to read through his incredible testimony — a journey of failure, faith, resilience, and destiny. The last speech Abraham Zachariah prepared – to deliver at TEDx I didn’t go to school. I was sent to school. Hence, for 10th standard, marks were very low and I could get admission only for Commerce group, as no one wanted (is 55 years ago) in my home state Kerala. My mother was very upset as my cousins and friends got into Science groups and she pushed me into Commerce Group. I was used to tell everyone that “Useless fellow, useless fellow, useless fellow are in Commerce Group and all the useless ones are in commerce group.” She was...

“When Love Becomes a Language”

 It has been 9 years since I married Rohit and became a part of this beautiful family, and in that time I came to know Amma as an all-rounder.  I remember once asking Appa about the collection of awards in the showcase, and he told me that most of them belonged to Amma. From writing to creative thinking, to receiving “Best Employee” awards at Cochin Refinery.. ( thats wher she worked) —she was always at the top in everything she did. I even came across her handwritten recipe book, filled with recipes for many dishes including doughnuts which was uncommon back then. Every page was written with neat handwriting and exact measurements. Rohit often told me how Saturdays at home were almost like a feast when Amma would prepare a variety of new dishes for the family. Food was her love language and she found joy in serving the family.  Amma had a way of finding cute coincidences. Amma told me soemthig she had figured out. she told that all the daughter in laws of the house....

Follow your Passion, It will lead you to Success!

  Name: Bittu Jacob Owner of Baked for you by Bittu   1. Why did you pursue baking as career?   During my school days I enjoyed baking with my ‘Amma’. After getting married I used to bake occasionally at home and when we had guests at home.   On my son’s 5 th   birthday, I decided to make a fire truck shaped fondant cake. It was my very first attempt baking a fondant cake from scratch. When my family saw the cake they were quite impressed. To be honest the cake tasted lovely but it was not like those very neat fondant cakes . My family encouraged me to level up my skill by attending cake décor classes.       So I attended a class and learned the basics of cake decoration. Even at that point of time I never thought of taking this up professionally. That same year (2016) in the month of December my Appa asked me to bake 10 cakes to gift his friends. I was nervous about this but my Appa had full confidence in me. He convinced...
