When you try to kiss me, my eyes shall be wet with tears. When you come near me, my whole body shall be shivering. But I shall carefully hide all my emotions.
The thought of your coming
Makes me feel so awkward now,
I really don’t know
What will I talk to you-
I can’t even say
If I can share the same bed!
Well, I know that you are coming
Either to meet your gen next
Or to keep up the farce
That we are still a couple,
But I can’t help the dryness
In all my limbs
Which once used to be flowing with blood
And huge doses of enthusiasm
Just on hearing your footsteps,
Even if you had gone for a few minutes!
Maybe, I shall keep on the farce
For I don’t wish the gen next
To face any disturbances,
But as far as you are concerned,
I am dead, completely dead.
When you try to kiss me,
My eyes shall be wet with tears,
When you come near me,
My whole body shall be shivering,
But I shall carefully hide all my emotions
In the bucket of my heart,
For I don’t want you to see
Any of my vulnerabilities any more.
Yes,
I refuse to be judged,
And our togetherness is over.
It’s a farce, and I will play along,
Till the game gets finally over!

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.
