So beautifully expressed and written! I love the way you also talk about your own face without describing it ... the way the stare into your own eyes brings out feelings that maybe even you didn't know existed. Loved it's lyrical quality, the prose poem that it is.

Very interesting! It dismayed me when you started with hair (which I lack, ha ha) but the other points are spot on and very perceptive

A wonderful read. Reminds me of a verse from Sri Aurobindo 's Savitri:

"A look, a touch, the meaning of a face"

Incredibly interesting essay, Kamalini. Engaging, raising many questions in my mind. I too am a sucker for faces and the stories they hold. This is fascinating 👏

👍. What a great write up on one’s distinctive facial features.
