Are we celebrating ourselves? As I asked this question to myself, I realized that how easy it is for us to reject our own worthiness and hide behind the veil of our social conditioning.
Yes, I have worked vigorously to achieve my dream and when that dream has materialised and is no more a bubble of my desire…I need a celebration to honour my own self, I need to appreciate my hard work…I need to believe that I have fought with my demons and I really deserve those angelic hymns and musics.
When I am celebrating my self, I am showing my gratitude to the benevolent universe for its immense blessings…yes, I am blowing my own trumpet, but why should I not ..?
Do I underestimate myself? Do I believe that others might think I am overdoing it? Do I want to hide my light so that it doesn’t blind my near and dear ones?
The answer to all these questions is I am born to shine and celebrate my uniqueness and magnificence.
Celebrations are required for it is the path of living a fulfilled life..small joys or big joys, all need to be acknowledged and celebrated.
If I will not celebrate myself how can I expect others to do that…I have to light my own candle and the series of bright candle calls for a celebration.

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.
