Relentless, determined and resolute.. I am like a candle in the wind!
The human heart is indeed a dark place
Filled with despair, anguish, jealousy; not shown on the face.
Shadowing and enveloping every living being
Making lives full of suffering.
I sat in front of the Altar, silently
Thinking about this sadness, gloomy and sadly.
What can I do to dispel this darkness
And fill the world with joy and happiness.
I sat in solitude, yet brimming with confidence
Amidst all the agonizing disturbance.
I kept gazing at the candle shining so bright
Despite the wind trying to put out it’s light.
In a moment something struck my mind
Felt like the world’s best thing, I did find.
Candle in the wind, that’s what I would be
To enlighten the heart of humanity.
I may be put out by the storm, wind or rain
But I would light up again and again.
I would be a candle in the wind

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.
