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.

Lost in Two Dimensions

  We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face. No scent of earth, no ocean's breeze, No velvet grass beneath our knees. No taste of rain, no fire’s glow, Just silent echoes, a hollow show. Are we alive, or just a view? A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

To my Dearest Grandmother....

                Cultivating habits like writing a dairy is not a cake walk anymore. Atleast not in this generation where we are all drowning in the ocean of technology. Infact Ayamachi once asked me “ Mole! Ee Phone il entha ullathu? Ellavarum ithu epozhum enthina pidichu kondu nadakunnathu? . Those words hit deep and I realised we are giving more importance to this nonliving man made thing than anything else. Are we carrying the Bible the same way everywhere we go?                     While we jot down our “To Do Lists” Ayammachi has it memorised. There used to be a time when landphones existed  in every house and when she memorised the telephone numbers of her near and dear ones. How many phone numbers can we tell by heart?                   She also has a “Kanaku Pusthakam” where she writes her daily expenses and calculations. She also ...
