This poem explores the unsaid parts of love and healing! Much more than just expressive love.
Let’s Lie down, next to each other Straight with our backs facing upwards
Naked, bare I will let you feel my spine, It bruises and bumps, everything in between From my neck till your back Connected, like puzzle pieces And see the dimples it creates on the bottom of your back
Let’s, Look at each other And count the light in our eyes The tip of your fingers Tracing down my neck Soothing my scars out of illusion
So, let’s, Lie down, next to each other With our backs facing upwards Neither side showing the offense And slowly burden each other with Your freckles and my bruises One above the other Laidback, feel the weight build up Of emotions and weapons
Till you’re no longer soothing the scars down my neck This isn’t about love This is about delusional competition And trust me, you’re not the only one With hold of my thoughts I’ve got my back (and yours too)

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.
