How are you, Confidant?

It's a Saturday afternoon, but feels like just another day when you have been quarantined for 5 weeks. Things have randomly sorted their own schedule and there isn't anything actually to not feel okay. Or maybe there isn't anything to feel, you don't know. Then suddenly you receive a text from a friend who is not (feeling) fine and there you are listening and helping them through it. And again, you forget how were you feeling.

She scanned through the magazine for girls who looked like her with deeper hues, flat nose, and thick hair. The day she turned fifteen she scrubbed herself with bleach while screaming for God, whispering over and over again "the darker the skin, the deeper the struggle" releasing a sigh that made her soul shake.” ―  Ijeoma Umebinyuo India and her obsession with the white/fair skin tone is not new. Being colonized for centuries, the post-colonial hangover hasn’t got any better. Walking through the lanes and streets of any big or small city, beauty parlours are adorned with the newspaper and magazine cut-outs of unbelievably beautiful fair-skinned Indian actors. These cutouts attract both men and women and make the beautician inside an unsung hero for the dark-skinned humans. Old household methods of making skin ‘fair’ have been in use since ages and sadly in 2020 are still being used. From scrubbing the paste of gram and curd to ‘brighten the skin’ ...
