“Vasudha, you dance very well! Why don’t you join our club for the upcoming dance event we are organizing next week?
Vasudha shook her head in a ‘no’ and replied politely, “Thanks ma’am for this offer but we are not allowed to dance openly in the events or stage. We only dance in our family functions in the presence of our known friends and family members.”
“But our club is also a ladies club and this event dance is only for ladies Vasudha. There will no participation of men there, then why are you so worried?” Asked Maitrayee, the Chairperson of the club.
“Sorry ma’am but this is not in our culture and I’m not a very trained dancer as well,” Vasudha denied her politely and went away from there with slight fear in her eyes.
Maitrayee could understand her fear because of the pressure of her in-laws especially her mother-in-law who was very strict towards her. She thought for a moment, smiled and decided to meet her family the next day.
The next day, she went to their house for a casual meeting
Her MIL and other members were very happy to see her as she was the Chairperson of a very known ladies club. The casual talks started and then she told them about that event which she was organizing at a large scale and politely asked to send her daughter for that. Although Nisha, Vasudha’s sister-in-law was not a good dancer as compared to her, her mother gave permission happily. Suddenly Matraiyee said that it’s a partner dance so she would need a good dance partner too. “Aunty why not you send Vasudha along with her as they know each other very well and can dance with good chemistry?”
After convincing many times she gave her approval for sending Vasudha but with a condition that she has to dance in a pallu.
They agreed and went back for rehearsals. The event was a huge hit and Vasudha went on to become a famous dancer in their city.

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.
