A beautiful rhyme about the fleeting nature of time
It flies from morn to eve
For the precious moments lost, I grieve
I hear the hours ticking by
My heart gives a silent cry
Oh! Please, oh! Please, pause I plead
But, Time, it does not head
Oh! I need a moment to feel alive
Pushed to the edge of precipice I just survive
Oh! Time, give me a moment
To catch my breath
A moment to feel the dew
Beneath my feet
Oh time let me heel with
The soft caress of the wind
Oh time I say be kind
I want to hear the rustle of the leaves
I want to watch the mesmerising dance
Of the tiny raindrops on my window pane

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.
