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. Cut away your long pretty nails. Nails are a harbor for dirt and infections.
5. Stop touching your face all the time
6. Quit washing your face always (you are indirectly getting rid of the natural oil in your skin causing your face to produce more oil to compensate the loss )
7. Don't use any face wash- !!! Yeah you heard me right ! use only plain water to wash your face
8. Discontinue using any makeup products or creams which you are currently using
9. Discontinue using harsh shampoos -go mild and herbal
10. Avoid junk food
11. Avoid any food from outside - stick to home cooked meals only
12. Egg will not cause acne that's a myth (unless you are allergic to eggs)
13. Consume your multivitamins
14.Drink loads of water .When I say loads I literally mean loads!!!

15.Wash your face immediately after you return from outside.
16. Use a non greasy sunscreen.

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...
