Sridevi in Bollywood was a powerful force to reckon with - her drama, her hysterics, her comedy, it was a powerful concoction.
Sridevi in Bollywood was a powerful force to reckon with – her drama, her hysterics, her comedy, her subtlety and not to forget her heavy Tamilian accent! It was a powerful concoction; and it all contributed to the amazing actress that she was.
Her death was a blow to me as it was to tons of her other ardent fans.
A poem dedicated to her on the last movie she left us with – MOM and to the mom she would have been…
Mother
Life without a Mother what would it be…
The sole corner of comfort in a room of darkness…no more…
The strong shoulder for tears and the warm hug of solace…no more…
A room full of laughter made just by you and her…no more…
Wanted and unwanted advice galore…no more…
Bundles of selflessness wrapped in love, anger or despair…no more…
One and only to endure all judgment and misjudgment…no more…
Warehouse of strength when none could be found…no more…
The guiding light in a world full of choices…no more…
True love, as true as it can be…no more…
The reason and core of one’s existence…no more…
When all seems to crumble under the weight of her loss
A sliver of her in us might pull us through
Where we thought we just could not…
Image is a still from the movie MOM

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.
