Sometimes, most of us feel trapped - in our surroundings or in ourselves. Maybe, it's time we stop limiting ourselves and step out of the boundaries we are stuck in.
Sometimes, most of us feel trapped – in our surroundings or in ourselves. We have things we want to say, do and know but we stop ourselves for a million reasons, sometimes known or unknown. But maybe, it’s time we stop limiting ourselves and step out of the boundaries we are stuck in.
Don’t bound my freedom Don’t define my boundary
Let me fly high in the limitless sky The body feels so light floating in the air
Let me dive deep in the vast blue sea The corals at the bottom are so enchanting
Let me climb to the highest peak of the mountain The view from the top is breath-taking
Let me venture out in the wild There is a freshness in its vicinity
Let me sing as if no one is listening The lyrics of the song adds peace to my soul
Let me dance to my favourite music The beats empower my inner core
Let me laugh like a child The roar of laughter keeps the child in me alive
Let me cry my heart out The tears relieve me from the grief and pain
Let me spend a day in solitude The quietude calms my mind
Let me shout at the top of my voice The lungs open up to breathe easy
Let me explore the hidden beauty of the world The treasure in its bosom is mesmerising
Let me live this life to the fullest The journey is more beautiful than the destination

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.
