Words reflecting "love" and yearning voiced by women.
Words reflecting “love” and yearning voiced by women.
If I could hold your thoughts and tie them to mine,
If I could make you see through my unwritten verse,
If I could make you believe what I spoke in your absence,
And make you feel what you had never felt.
If I could convince you that I had never lied,
In the presence of your memory or even beyond,
I never aspire to drift to an alternate pace,
And never demand for you to revert this touch.
It appears as a crossroad or a puzzle at every step,
In spite of the books we read or the visions we seek,
If I could make you travel with me to an endless path,
And never return in search of a perfect end.
I sometimes wish to dedicate you a verse,
In fact every word I write or every art I draw,
If I could make you read me through my works,
And build a literature just for you to judge.
In the freedom of my choice or a closing tie,
I would have chosen you over every life,
If I could make you choose me in return as well,
And reverse the fate that prohibits such turn.

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.
