#Poetry. A broken relationship does not mean that the fault is all mine - why must only I bend backward if the fault is also yours? An insightful poem.
#Poetry. A broken relationship does not mean that the fault is all mine – why must only I bend backward if the fault is also yours? An insightful poem.
I will never be what I was;
what is gone, I cannot get back.
I am deficient of my heyday beauty,
but warmth of past you too lack.
You are out of love for me I know;
it’s all right, not your fault.
But why must I bear the brunt,
of what you so sloppily lost?
Hell! But I will not sit here,
writing obituary to our twenty years.
I will show dignity to my age, unlike you;
shall not cheapen our bond with venomous spears.
Rather, I will gracefully pull the curtains,
on our show that has come to an end.
In giving to you all; I lost sight of self
but never again, will I backward bend.

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.
