The only way out was to muster the strength and push her way through the cobwebs of problems.
Sitting by the window she was brooding over the opportunities she had missed out. She had witnessed 32 springs, 32 winters and 32 summers but she was longing for all that she had been 32 springs back. She had received so many proposals, that too from highly successful guys.!
What made her miss out on all those opportunities? Was it her destiny to meet the worst or the repercussion of her neglecting the golden opportunities and letting the good guys go? Whatever it had been, she regretted it whenever she felt worn out after a long day’s tussle to meet her basic needs. She had never known that coming from a financially stable background didn’t assure financial security throughout life!
She had a long life in front of her and she couldn’t move on nor could she recede. The only way out was to muster the strength and push her way through the cobwebs of problems. She wiped the tears off her face and headed towards her lawyer’s office.
What she sought at the moment was to get rid of the burden that weighed her down… the burden of being associated with the man who ruined her youthful years. She knew that she needed to procure a place in the abode of peace. She entreated her lawyer to shed that burden off her soul…to free her of that painful knot that had been the most pleasant for many but most painful for her.
She just waited till he got the papers ready brooding over what she wanted from her life. She came out of her thoughts when some papers were laid before her to be signed. With a jerk, she collected herself and without any second thought, she signed the papers to free her spirit and soul and walked out of the office as a prisoner released on parole.
She was ready to face the world! One more time!

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.
