You violate your soul when you put up with people who devalue and disrespect you, when you say yes even if you want to shout out NO!
Do you think violation is only of the mind and body? Trust me when I say that you violate your soul, When you refuse to just be, And set it free.
You violate your soul When you repress your desires, And accept to be within the societal confines.
You violate your soul When you put up with people who devalue and disrespect you, Because the norms dictate, IF you are decent that’s what you do.
You violate your soul when your whole being says no, But you say yes anyway, Because you are expected to say so. You violate your soul when you trade the sanctity of your being, With a lack of self love and being genuine. When you cover your truth with layers of facade, Believing this is the shield to protect your heart.
Funny you think violation is only of the mind and body? When you intuitively know you violate your soul, When you refuse to just be, And set your wild soul be free.

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.
