Here is a piece of my thoughts that tackle the concept of never giving up on things even if life throws a stone at you.
One day you will reflect and see how stupid your choices were,
And how powerful things could have been only if you had more courage, integrity and spine for no one but Yourself.
I was blindsided at the time and got pushed through a cliff from behind.
I got badly injured, almost died but survived.
My scars have made me much stronger than I ever was.
Today I have no regrets and I stand tall & proud,
With all my capacity and capability
To love and care, to commit, to nurture and sacrifice my own dreams for the sake of others,
Yes, I lost myself for a bit there but the loss has only been yours.
I close my eyes, smile and tell your conscience, “if you couldn’t destroy me despite your best efforts — nothing ever will”.
I will Never Give Up!

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.
