"Relax honey, you too have a weekend!" Do you know the power of these magical words?
“Relax honey, you too have a weekend!” Do you know the power of these magical words?
When I am asleep, I wish to be woken up with a steaming hot cup of tea,
Or maybe when my sleep breaks, someone says, ‘Relax, Why did you wake up, it’s just three’
When I am bathing I wish the hot water from the shower flows down on me leisurely,
And when I rub the soap all over hurriedly, someone says, ‘Relax, It’s two minutes…barely!’
When I am hungry, I wish I am served my favourite fried rice or noodles,
And when I gulp it down in a jiffy, someone says, ‘Relax and relish every morsel!’
When I am exhausted, I wish to just sit back, put my legs up and look at the clear blue sky,
And when I spring up realizing it’s been too long on that chair, someone says, ‘Relax, bask in the moment and just close your eyes.’
When I am sick, I wish to get pampered day and night,
And when I feel guilty about being in bed all day, someone says, ‘Relax, you need rest, you are not a knight!’
When I am out on a vacation, I wish to enjoy every bit of it,
And when I worry if everything is packed for everyone or not, someone says, ‘Relax, just pack your stuff and don’t forget your skirt with a slit!’
When I am at a party, I wish to sing, dance, clink glasses and be carefree,
And when I am anxious about the unhealthy junk food my munchkin eats, someone says, ‘Relax, it is a party, you needn’t think about broccoli and green peas!’
Whenever I feel like, I wish I could go and hang out with my friends,
And when I am terrified as the clock strikes twelve, I receive a phone call, and someone says,’Relax, honey, you too have a weekend!’

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.
