Soaking in the sunset, letting the sounds and sights swirl around her, willing the sun to pause right there while she dances her troubles away…
Tighten the noose around the neck of the dying sun Let it not escape, let it not sink beneath the horizon Leave it suspended a while longer, out on the skyline I am not done watching the sunset, it is not yet time
Scatter some birds, let them fly homeward bound Let the seductive breeze blow swishing in sound Let the Dandelion’s break and sprinkle on the sky Like tiny white cottony clouds moving by and by.
Let someone strum pure notes on a lyre or guitar Let those rise up into the night, clear, high and far Let them reach out to the sun, entice him to sway In this dusk in my life, let me dance my troubles away.

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.
