To all the women I know (or don’t know) who are in a similar place as I am. Believe in yourself and Be REAL. That’s what matters.
Just me and my thoughts- Unfiltered
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the strongest of them all.. People, Situations have made me fall, One day with my grit I will rise above all…
They said you ought to behave like a girl, don’t wear this- not safe, don’t say that- you are too loud, You have opinions? Haaah! Living in your own cloud?
Making a meal for 20 guests at home seems daunting, So what I don’t know cooking? Well.. you ought bear the relatives’ taunting
Expected to babysit my husband/mama’s boy and make him happy in ‘every’ way If I talk about equal treatment then called ‘unsanskari’ by the people who believe in dowry Won’t adhere to such stupid norms of the society- Sorry but Not sorry!
Leading a team at work brings me under a weird scanner, Getting a raise and promoted at work calls for sleeping with the boss and such useless banter.
Despite all the odds I choose to rise and say F#%€ you all Mirror mirror on the wall, Yes! The woman I see in the mirror is STRONGEST of them ALL! …………………….

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.
