A poem which talks about the enigmatic powers of women. Read on.
We are not made for customary lives, my sisters,
We are made of the shimmers and sparkles of the heavens and the lost worlds!
We have a thirst for spectacular moments each day, those enough to fill our insides with wonder.
We chase our dreams daily as the life is not easy.
The right questions are to be asked and the answers to be soaked in by your soul.
This is how we breathe, my love.
The mundanity of life is shattering.
It smashes against our sparkly soul as a glass breaks on the pavement.
As the glass breaks into smithereens, our spirit is pounded daily.
Now you see my sisters, we are made of the stardust and fashioned after the fays,
we run by the moon and draw our powers from the Universe.
Sadly so, we are encircled by those who love to snap our spirits.
They are drawing life from us! But, we are boundless…
Don’t we love snipping the barbed wires with which they tried to bind us?
With this, I ask for peace for us, a sky full of sparkles, a bed full of roses and arms full of love-
This is what I want, this is my wish.

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.
