The journey of a woman from bondage to liberation once she makes up her mind to set herself free.
Deep in the corridors of her mind,
She saw herself crippled, hands tied behind.
Fearing the thousand eyes watching,
Hiding herself, behind the curtains, crouching.
Will they know her truth, the ugly one,
Won’t she be rebuked, at her cost all the fun?
Tears rolling down, grief and hurt,
Her body in pain,
Her soul stuck in between death and birth.
Heart in despair, she screamed out her lung,
Hearing her own self, a blissful realization stung.
Suffocating in silence was no more a choice,
She untied the ropes that murdered her voice.
Bathed in the blood that came from her scar,
She rose like a phoenix, in the skies like a star!
From victim to victory, each battle she fought,
Took off like a free bird,
From the cage of her own thought!

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.
