#Poetry. According to the author of this short poem, this has been inspired by the unresolved Aarushi murder case. Heartrending.
That dark night, had I known There would not be another dawn I would have laughed a little longer And danced a lot harder.
That dark night, had I known I would lose all my own I would have loved them a little more And hugged them a lot tighter.
That dark night, had I known How bad this world could turn? I would have hidden a little better And made my guards a lot taller.
That dark night, had I known Justice evades the silent one I would have lived a little longer And shouted my truth a lot louder.
Author’s note: A short poem inspired by the unresolved Aarushi murder case.

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.
