Woman, in silence there is a lot to lose- denial, fear, traditions, society are no excuse. And on the other side you've shattered myths, scaled new heights
Woman, in silence there is a lot to lose- denial, fear, traditions, society are no excuse. And on the other side you’ve shattered myths, scaled new heights
Woman… still two different sides of a coin One silent, she dare not dream. The other scaling heights, forging the stream
When a woman is silent, not daring to dream Things are not as simple as they seem! As if a bearer of doom, when a girl is born, She cowers in fear of that undeserving scorn Every time she faces her husband’s wrath, She forgives… as that what she’s been taught!
Oh woman, in silence there is a lot to lose Your daughters too will never dare to choose You know it well, but you’re not even trying life is passing by… your spirit is dying There is always a choice but you let it go, never raising a voice, in times of violence, rape, abuse… Suppressing the power within you to use
Oh woman, in silence there is a lot to lose Denial, fear, traditions, society are no excuse
Oh woman, on the other side of the coin You’ve shattered myths, scaled new heights Fulfilled dreams, fought for what’s right Letting go of guilt to reach your goal You and only you, the master of your soul You’ve broken shackles of tradition, and society You are today your own first priority Breaking free to follow that voice That’s calling you to make your choice
Now that your choice is made Reach out to those, standing in the shade Scared, silent and still cowering in fright Lend a hand and show them the light
For every woman who suffers trauma and violence, Another gets crushed, and learns to suffer in silence.
A woman, two different sides of a coin One is frightened and silent The other vibrant and defiant A woman, till today two different sides of a coin.

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.
