      1pm Spoke to supervisor. Now I know. Remember I told you about that scam thing? That annual daru party in Goa? Well, that time of the year has come. And it seems the chicklets are preparing for it in advance. Arre wahi waxing-shaxing, parlour-varlour. Weirdos hai na. That is why.

      Even after I shave my legs are never perfectly smooth. I always see little black dots. When I see other women's legs they always look so smooth and shiny. How do they get that? And I'm deciding if I should just get them waxed this season. I did it once before and it was such torture I promised myself I would never ever go back to it. But I don't know. Shaxing hurts too.

      ‘Only go out for emergencies,’ he said. So I told him that my hair is now an emergency. And don’t even ask about my nails. I’m so desperate for a many-paddy kay poochho na. Suna hai massage vaalis are quietly coming to houses to do waxing shaxing but majaal hai Janoo will let their shadow even fall on our house. It’s so bad I can’t even take part in zoom sessions. In case they notice my hair. I did our last coffee party Zoom with my hair wrapped in a towel and me in my towelling robe and I pretended I’d forgotten about the Zoom session and just rushed out of shower but they asked why my make up was full on and I said kay no, no my face tau is naturally like this and they said: ‘Acchha? Allah gave you maroon lips and turquoise eyelids?’ I hate my friends. I hate Covit. But most of all I hate Janoo.

      Having pubic hair means, much like the scalp, the vulvar skin can get dry and irritated. Shaving or waxing - aka shaxing - the follicles can make them clogged and inflamed.
