Exploring the emotions of a woman who is trapped in her existence.. and wants to break free!
What freedom do you talk about When she lives in the world within herself
She is tired yet restless She is broken yet spirited She is shaken but composed She is even caged but wants to fly!
For all a woman longs for To be able to break free Break-free from the shackles The norms The rules That people around her make for her
Within her is a deep anger The rage and the fire She is ready to explode Waiting to be explored
She nurtures the hope To be happy And be at peace In the world where No matter what happens She hopes her happiness won’t cease
No more does she want To be bruised and torn Nothing always have to be Right or wrong
It’s her life She wishes to live along In her own way On her own terms Only then can she break free
To be herself Without a fear to be who she is To be able laugh and rejoice With a twinkle in her eyes

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.
