Women may be trodden upon, beaten up, subdued. But there is collective spirit and strength in them that is indestructible!
You may silence her in the womb,
humiliate her behind closed doors,
For, she is the weaker sex,
She must meekly resign to her fate,
hand over her wishes and dreams,
embrace silence, her virtue supreme.
You may violate her rights
As you please,
No matter she is 2 or 81.
And kick her tattered body
When you are done,
in that dark alley,
in the darkness of your alien mind
You may try to confiscate her,
Soul and body,
Yet she smiles at your ignorance,
Even in her hour of death.
Your vain pride ,
Sure to beget your fall.
She knows,
Its only a matter of time.
Indeed, deep within her resides,
The true consciousness,
Of the universe you boast to reign .
She is the air you breathe,
The land beneath your feet,
The indispensable creator ,
SHE IS
The eternal, Indestructible Truth!

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.
