"Cry for a better world to live, cry for a space for every child to live, with dignity, honour, smile on the face"
“Cry for a better world to live, cry for a space for every child to live, with dignity, honour, smile on the face”
I heard a cry, Deep there in my heart, That longed to say something. Hiding my face in false smiles.
I have walked along, Never knowing how to tell the truth. Somewhere I hear a deep cry.
Hoping to see someone to stand by me Console me, Pat me, Enthuse me, Hug me, And say, Stand up dear- For you are not alone, Raise your voice today, To see your sisters Live a better tomorrow!
Your cries and sorrow shouldn’t go in vain, For you carried so long the pain.
Let it die today, no longer shall you cry and shed tears. In the years to come. After all its not the way you want to live.
Cry for a better world to live, Cry for a space for every child to live with dignity, honour, smile on the face. Neither denied of her rights, Nor succumbed to situations Or being harassed for Being a girl! Let all of us raise our Hands to say #No means No!

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.
