These quotes on change tell us both that change is constant, and that we have within us the power to embrace change. Take heart from these!
When I left home at the age of 18 to move to a new city, my life underwent an immense change. The environment, the people, the place and more importantly me, everything changed, and it was hard to keep up with it.
I needed inspiration, I needed motivation and assurance, that change is not always bad, that change is evident and without it, I wouldn’t be moving forward. It is a hard process, but, eventually, we need to make changes to grow and develop.
Remembering the past is good, but sticking by it could hold you back in the course of life; that’s why we need to evaluate the present and reflect on the past to move forward and improve constantly.
For me, reading books and inspiring quotes about change helped me focus on accepting the newness of my life, and now, even though change still scares me, I am more open to the idea of it all.
There would have been no development without these positive changes in life, ideologies, or actions; we are where we are because of this cycle of questioning and thereby always changing and moving ahead.

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.
