This little poem was written when a close friend was diagnosed with cancer. She fought her way out like a brave warrior.
She smiled, smiled through all her troubles. And boy, let me tell you, her troubles weren’t just one or two, but endless bubbles.
For her, life was all pain and tragic; Nonetheless she called it a sweet magic. She never dared grumble or mumble for, she believed in life’s soft rumble.
Living her life just this way, Though she kept falling down; She looked forward to each new day, With a smile as majestic as a crown.
Finally when it was time to go, She wanted the entire world to know, “No matter what you undergo, A smile can thaw the perennial snow”.
Authors Note: There are many people and stories around us that inspire us to keep going, despite the turmoils.

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.
