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.

  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...

                                         It was another day at middle school. I still had not made any friends. Well , the truth is I really tried but no one  wanted to be my friend. It was lunch time and I was looking for a place to sit in the cafeteria. This is one thing I dread the most. Everyone had a group of friends of their own. The popular group sat in the corner. They were the cheerleaders, basketball players, kids with good looks (most of them wore makeup so cannot really tell if they were really good looking) and then there were the rich kids who only wore only branded clothes , shoes.  I certainly did not belong there because I didn’t have the skinny body type which those cheerleaders had. Forget sports. I cannot even do ten push-ups straight. I wore clothes which I got on sale from JCpenny and not Ar...
