Hope is that something which gives us the strength to fight and move on life. One should always cling on to this 'hope' and try leading a better life.

The mist curled up like the vapid vapours of a dragon’s breathe,
Swallowing the hills, and leaving a chilling wetness in its wake.
The path in front of her was no longer there, and all she felt was a growing numbness.
Icy vines rose from the earth and gripped her in a fatal clasp!
She struggled to breathe through the blanket of mist that shrouded her like a mausoleum.
Her heart thumped against her chest urging her to fight back once more –
Yet she was rooted – paralysed with dread, knowing not what lay ahead!
Her fears fed the monster which gained strength with each passing breath,
And loomed like a rabid beast from which there is no escape!
Knowing not what to do, she slipped further into the abyss of nothingness.
Her breath was now a choked whisper.
Just when all seemed lost, laughter like the tinkling of bells sounded out from somewhere ahead!
It renewed hope and awakened her spirits.
The bonds frittered away –
As she soared towards the light, she could hear the mellifluous voice of the angels!
The fog lifted, as the sunlight scattered into myriad shades of hope.

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.
