The person coming to pick her up would see through the deceptions and would want her to be the bubbly charming self that she usually is.
Her plane was about to land. She quickly took out her hairbrush and combed her hair into a neat but stylish high knot. She had to look ravishing as she stepped out of the airport because she knew her whole look would be scrutinised and she wanted to look her best.
Ripped jeans, fitted black fiercely-opinionated-quotation-tee and sneakers was her trademark look. But how she was feeling as a person, mattered the most. The person coming to pick her up would see through the deceptions and would want her to be the bubbly charming self that she usually is.
She picked up her luggage, adjusted her denims by pulling them up a bit (she hated wearing belts ) and took out her favourite pair of wayfarer sunglasses.
Stepping out of the exit, she saw the person who came to receive her looking at her with a smile. To her relief, the person had a satisfied smile on their face.
“Mission accomplished”, she thought happily and hugged the person. Her person.
“Missed you Ma” she said as they both made their way to the waiting car.

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.
