Written by Anuradha Chelliah
The dot
between the eyebrows
once black, now red
used to be forced
now it’s done with happiness
comes in different names
sometimes colourful to match the days
and moods
and clothes
great significance
unknown to many
the press of the point to activate the chakra
for you to feel the difference
it’s not for fashion
it’s not to show off
it’s for you
just for you
a small dot
that is not
just a dot.
