I enjoy my me time alone...my pictures come super duper happy because for a change I cater to my needs.
I am a mom, a wife and a dedicated housewife….driver to my kid…tuition teacher, project maker.., the bill payer on apps..the store manager…ordering grocery on the app..the substitute if the maid is absent…officially. My schedule is never ending….preparing breakfasts, lunch tiffins evening snacks and dinner catering to my 11year old son’s taste, my corporate hubby and my in laws with completely different tastes.
Where is the M.Com. postgraduate, the fitness freak, the passionate solo traveller (so that I escape the rigmarole of packing and unpacking travel bags which will be my responsibility and I have been termed completely insane to want to keep travelling without my hubby and my child) ….the movie buff…(Oh! how I love my me time in the theatre),….my solo lunch buffets….my me time.
Where is this person? I am here and no one can see me… I keep on trying these little events ….solo jockey morning parties, solo veena world travel trips, solo theatre trips to watch a play and Anup Jalota kirtans (such a vivacious personality but does anyone admire him now?).
I guess I am my only favourite person and I am glad about it. I enjoy my me time alone. My pictures come super duper happy because for a change I cater to my needs. I am in charge of my happiness despite the chaos going around.
Frankly, I don’t even want anybody to accompany me… I wonder sometimes why I am so….I send my proof of happiness in all my groups and get even happier when cheered, liked and admired.
I hope I never change this person who is inside me ever. I believe in creating happiness for myself without waiting for company.

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.
