One hour into this hushed affair, time lost its significance. She was no more a part of the room, but a part of the world inside his head.
She ran her fingers across his spine, and felt it arch, ever so slightly under her touch.
She took in his scent and cradled him in her arms, careful not to cross too many boundaries, not to betray too soon, too much.
They settled into a quiet corner of her bed,
Or was it that the noise died down the moment their eyes met;
Nobody would know. She let him in, without resistance; In return, he let her in, into his moments of silences, the doors he kept shut with all his might. His moments of vulnerability… his search for the right words, into that void in time between being awake and asleep, where defences just don’t work right.
Just like that, on an ordinary summer night, a reader fell in love again, She would hence forever be leading a double life; one in chaos, and the other, when she would hold him in her arms, waiting, into his story, to be led.

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.
