I never thought it would happen to us. I sincerely wish that it happen to no one else. Here is what I learnt from surviving a serious car accident on the highway.
Unfortunately it happened, happened to us. We were returning from a wedding in a car. Our 7 months old daughter was in my husband’s lap and I was sitting next to him in the back seat. A close relative was in the driver’s seat with his wife next to him. As the wedding ended, we were travelling back with two other cars early in the morning when our car met with the accident.
I was thrown out of the car due to the jolt and ended with a collar bone fracture. Luckily, our daughter had a miraculous escape and my better half ended with a minor nose injury. Lying in the national highway, when I saw our car I thought everything had ended.
Fighting the pain, I slowly limped towards the car. On hearing my husband’s voice, I learned he was safe. He slowly handed over our daughter to me. With trembling hands, I took her in my lap and checked her heartbeat and pulse. Thank God, she was safe and still asleep. The other two persons in the front seats luckily escaped unhurt.
We had the toughest time managing all alone with my one hand, and the phase finally ended leaving a scar.
Behind every bad day, there’s a lesson. Here I am sharing my lessons so that no one repeats the mistakes that we did. Miracles do happen but we should always be careful and cautious.
If my experience will be helpful to anyone, I am grateful. This awareness about travel safety indeed changes one’s life for better.

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.
