Ever since I started following the protests happening around the country against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register for Citizens of India, I had been having a little trouble going to sleep at night.

The parallels between what happened back in Germany during Hitler’s reign and what’s happening currently in India made it near impossible for me to sleep without getting up crying every few hours.

Then I saw a Tweet, that led me to an article, that led me to a YouTube video where Priyanka Chopra gave a tutorial on a DIY beauty face mask that will help your skin glow and make you forget the constant threat to your identity and fundamental rights within a few minutes.

“This mask has helped generations in our family to get flawlessly smooth skin and the ability to go to sleep, even with a glaring unclear conscience,” says Priyanka in that video. I, too, needed to go to sleep peacefully, and I needed flawlessly smooth skin because my regular skin has large pores and everyone knows that the large pores are a sign of giving up on life.

Knowing that Priyanka has managed to go to sleep everyday without tossing and turning, thinking about her responsibility as, perhaps, the most influential Bollywood celebrity in the world right now and a UNICEF ambassador, made me believe that she might have a solution to my problem.

In the video, Priyanka instructed the viewers to mix some yoghurt with a spoonful of lemon juice and add a bit of turmeric for bonus glow.

“The yoghurt helps get smoother skin, the lemon juice helps exfoliate the dead skin on your face. But don’t rub it too hard on your face, or the mask you put on to fool everyone into thinking how accepting and woke you are will come off too,” says Priyanka.

She also advises viewers to, additionally, bury their heads in the sand to increase the chances of ignoring what’s going on around you. She says this will help you sleep better at night.

I must say that her hacks truly worked. I now barely give any damns about politics and I have better skin too. I don’t know if the mask will work for you, it does help if you have weak morals and are essentially opportunistic by nature, but you can give it a try. We’re all here for love.
