"Of my broken mind, lies an oasis, still so fresh of innocence and full of bold, brave and forgotten dreams"
“Of my broken mind, lies an oasis, still so fresh of innocence and full of bold, brave and forgotten dreams”
Tik. Tik. Tok.
Time is wasting,
The clock stares at me
And continues to tick
Passing.
I am frozen in place.
It is in my fingers,
The last of my painted dreams,
Dry, peeling
Lusty colors have faded
To dull and drab.
I am still waiting on nothing.
Mirrors,
Show me back
The reflections of my hopelessness,
And my eyes laugh at me.
A coward, I have become,
Wandering, a ghost of nothing,
I am so aimlessly lost.
A morning bloomed
Waking me up,
And I know what I have to do,
Pick up, brushes after brushes
Thawing myself from this place.
I am trying, trying.
Far from the deserts
Of my broken mind,
Lies an oasis,
Still so fresh of innocence
And full of bold, brave and
Forgotten dreams.
I am trying to find-
My way back.

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.
