Palkeet

Palkeet is a term originating from the Punjabi language that refers to the eyelashes. Eyelashes are the fine hairs that grow along the edge of the eyelids, serving a protective function for the eyes. They help to prevent dust, debris, and other small particles from entering the eye by acting as a barrier. Additionally, eyelashes can help to reduce the amount of sunlight that enters the eyes, providing a degree of shade. The movement of blinking also causes the eyelashes to sweep away any irritants that may have landed on the eye surface. In some cultures, including those where Punjabi is spoken, long and thick eyelashes are often considered a desirable aesthetic feature. This can lead to the use of cosmetic products designed to enhance the appearance of eyelashes, such as mascara. The term "palkeet" encompasses both the upper and lower eyelashes.
