When things go wrong, do not despair... it is time to rise up again!
A frozen moment that suddenly melts, Wrapped in a cloak of despair or disgust, There comes a time in everyone’s life, When things just refuse to fall in line. Whenever the light dims and fortune wanes, There are many to tell you why you have failed, Not many to stop and offer a reassuring pat, But to point out one by one your innumerable mistakes, When the going gets tough, And you feel a tightness in your chest, When sadness embraces you, And you feel lost in a maze, The tear in your eye melts, And courses down your cheek. It’s time to face the gale against your chest, To stand up erect and give your best, Never once the nightingale stopped her chant, It sang blithely be it rain or hail, Never once has she stopped and asked, “Why should I sing when I am in despair?” The frozen moments with it retain, The memories of the lonesome phase, The mighty banyan does crumble, The Earth does shake and break, But the one who bears it and yet stand erect, IS THE ONE WHO BEARS IT WITH GRACE…

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.
