He tried to destroy her self with the acid attack, but he had not accounted for her inner strength that made her find the beauty inside.
He thought he could wipe out her beauty
And break her courage
By throwing acid on her pretty face
But he is ignorant of the fact
That her beauty lied in her heart and courage in her soul.
She slept silently in pain they said.
She was just in the process of making her heart and soul stronger than before
Because she knew that the world would show her pity and disgust
For the melted face now she bore
She knew she has to face them all with a smile
And fight with the world for justice.
Yes, she needed to make her heart and soul stronger than ever before
For, the monster had to be destroyed
And faith in humanity had to be restored
Victim they said she is, with a grim on their face.
Survivor she emerged as, with a grin on her face.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
