Experience the myriad of emotions though the author's words that you feel at the stage of self actualization.
A road to apocalypse
a sound of unshuttering waves
a rusted closed door
in the middle of high stone walls
like a dark deep well
I swallow my fear every inch every quarter
I reside in the pain and it is no longer unknown to me
I fear the known now
I have lived amidst chaos and beauty
lie and truth doesn’t excite me anymore
Right or wrong doesn’t serve any pertinence
I have raised my level higher
and I have freed myself of all the desire
I speak less
I observe more
I seek peace
I offer more
I pause, I breathe, I reflect and I godspeed.

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.
