As I climbed those green mountains,
Peach blossoms and Gulmohar buds smiled,
Blades of grass sparkled.
Deep in those white, fluffy clouds
dwelt little beings in tranquility.
Sunbeams danced in those distant dark woods,
where no human could reach.
The streams down there glistened,
in soul’s delight and heavenly ecstasy.
Breeze gushed, forming curtains,
Mist wafted, lingered and sang,
creating an orchestra of music.
The mountains are deserted,
And I can see green moss gleaming in the distance.
I could see flying flocks returning leisurely to the realm of the known.
I could count those delicate pansies happy in a world of their own.
The pansies smiled with no care,
I touched those pansies,
And I gazed at the twilight and smiled.

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.
