No matter what life doles out, and how you are today, a smile is what you need to wear, along with anything else you may.
After you’re done with your make-up, Wear your smile today. A smile that doesn’t fail to reach your eyes, And make them shine brighter Than your exquisite diamond studs.
After you’re done with draping your silk saree, Wear your smile today. A smile that makes you look resplendent, A smile that is more flamboyant Than your Kanjeevaram saree.
Smile and thank Almighty For all the blessings That He has strewn along your path, And be blissful for receiving This marvellous gift called ‘Life’.
And when life doesn’t give you any reason to smile- Laugh hard. A laughter that makes your stomach ache And your eyes teary.
Life may not be a bed of roses, For every rose comes with its own share of thorns, But whatever you come across- roses or thorns, Do not forget to wear your smile today.

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.
