We go through lives trying to understand who we are and what we stand for. It remains a deeply puzzling and even spiritual question for some people.
I am the boundless sky, And that shooting star- That does not shine but illuminates; To heal your open scars!
My eyes are lit up by the holy spirits, This makes me attractive and sublime- My laughter is like a distilled poem; That the world still tries to rhyme!
I talk of universes; I break the spell of your generational curses- I reverse your pain pattern; And wipe out seals of melancholy created by Saturn!
I am that spark of divinity; While the scientific truth is marvellous! I undo piercing betrayals and infidelity, You are a part of my whole that is stupendous!
My smile is like the winter sun, Before the blizzard hurled- My beauty is like the unforecasted spring- Through the rest of you; let it unfurl!

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.
