A beautiful and evocative write-up about finding your soulmate.
Fish markets turn them on.
Churches calm them down.
They love mushrooms, and loathe papayas. Especially, if ripe.
They put on and shed quite easily. Weight, that is.
Love to walk. And, to sleep.
Hate to party.
Get aroused by good food talks. For example, A vivid graphic discussion of a well made non-veg dish makes them feel like making love, almost. (Take that.)
Sapiosexual, otherwise!
Hate working. Like earning, though. (Ah, that must be common.)
Better at written communication than verbal.
Catch cold if they don’t cover up their skulls. Even if it’s say, September.
Love rains. And the smell it creates when it touches the soil, or the leaves on a tree.
Love human smell. Better than perfumes.
Actually, their noses work better than others. Can spot seasonal flowers, fruits at times, from real far. Can tell the season from its smell. And, can distinguish seas, mountains and forests just by their noses, eyes closed.
When they read a book or watch a movie, they become part of it.
They always save the egg yolk for the end of the meal.
And, ask for extra fat when purchasing mutton. Unfailingly.
Can’t care less about how they look.
Nevertheless, care a hell of a lot about what people think of them. (And, don’t admit that, even to themselves.)
Don’t let others speak.
Jump to conclusion.
Decide first and reason later; and then, deceptively claim otherwise.
Can fight and win on either side of the motion, in most debates. Other than the ones they personally feel strongly about.
Opinionated. Pretend to be flexible, though.
Preach, a lot. Unsolicitedly, mostly.
Practice? Well, only if pushed against the wall.
Someone, it seems, made a few carbon copies and released them at different points in time on the face of earth. And left them to fend, and find, for themselves. Cruel!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
