As she is an arm’s distance away from him, she realizes he cannot see her as there is no vision in his eyes. He is blind. But she is in Love.
And as soon as she closed her eyes, she was taken into a world, she loved being in. A world she had created.
A huge hallway the walls of which are adorned with wallpapers with gigantic flower motifs. If you look closely enough, each stem of the flower leads you to a story. She passes the beautiful hallway and reaches a door that takes her to the outside. She is filled with excitement, fear, stress, joy, happiness, sadness and all the emotions that she could feel on leaving the hallway behind and going on the other side of the door.
She opens it and the other side hits her eyes with the shades of green she never imagined. She starts walking out. The breeze brushes her hair like the fingers of a lover she once knew, the smell all so familiar brings her memories of the days she lived in light, and the birds sing a familiar song that sounds familial. She walks and walks in to this large garden adorned by trees, freshly cut grass, flowers of all colors and the birds plucking on their fruits. And how could she miss those butterflies fluttering their wings in a symphony sweeter than ever.
She walks further and hears someone singing from faraway. She tries to get closer to the voice. As she gets closer she knows she is in love. Finally, she sees this man with his fiddle singing in a language she has never heard before but seems to understand it perfectly just by the emotions sung. As she is an arm’s distance away from him, she realizes he cannot see her as there is no vision in his eyes. He is blind. But she is in Love.
Just then a sound of falling coins brings her out of her slumber. She opens her eyes and she is back in darkness, but with a little music in her heart.

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.
