I loved the phrase, instantly. Being gutsy is not everyone’s cup of tea, but these veeres did it. Well, this is a film about four girls taking simple decisions that don’t adhere to societal norms.
They did one thing.. they made themselves happy, only after having tried hard to keep the ones around them happy. Well, the movie apart, isn’t life all about being happy? And believe me, it takes guts to be happy.
No Guts, No Glory is like No pain No gain, similar yet different. Courage is the little sister of guts where everyone encourages you to tread the well-known path. Being gutsy is more than taking the road less traveled as mentioned by Robert Frost in The Road not taken. Don’t you admire the woman who slapped the street harasser? Of course you do! But you don’t have the guts to do it. Why? Introspect and find out. Write down the reasons and overcome them one by one. Because if don’t do what you want to do, you will do everything for everyone. That brings no glory.
Small acts define you and make you gutsy. Learning a new dish is courage but trying it out for the first time is gutsy. Learning to drive a car is courageous but going to an unknown destination on a rainy day in an emergency takes guts. Standing up for yourself on a tired evening and not going to that party is arrogance to some, but gutsy for me.
I agree the trend is changing but we still have a long way to go. The movie Pink differed and made its mark, now comes along this movie glorifying womanhood in a novel fashion. Listen to your gut feeling and change yourself, everything around you will change.

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.
