Leave the women alone, let them be the way they want – natural, beautiful, unburdened and relaxed writes the author.
Leave alone the woman
who does not want to tie the most impeccable bun
who does not want the perfect winged-eye
who does not want to bound her ankles with an anklet
who does not want to burden her wrist with gilted bangles
who does not want to strangle herself with exquisite necklaces
who does not want to walk sensually in those high heels
who does not want to beautify her eyes with kohl
who does not want to conceal her nails with artificial colours
who does not want to wear manifestations of good character
who does not want to be judged for not knowing something
who does not want to be rebuked for being childish sometimes
who does not want to be someone else when she is herself…
because
that is not what she is born for
that is not what she aspires to have
that is not what she demands
that is not what will perish her identity…
also because
that is not what you have the capacity to give
that is not what you have the intelligence to understand
that is not what you have the sensibility to accept
that is not what you have the nerve to embrace…
so
just let her be
the way she is
natural and beautiful
unburdened and relaxed
unaffected and grounded
amiable and content…

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.
