I do believe in miracles and I am the one indeed; water falls of regrets no more sullied these eyes!
Felt isolated loveless because I believe in this I don’t want to change for them, you, or anyone I love myself the way I am! fat, dark, disfigured or thin like melting butter on a warm bread. I want to live first the way I have been born. You said this and that growing up I thought everyone is not a liar if I am black I ain’t no normal I wear a crown of thorns of taunts and not ready to flaunt In fear I tried, applied creams and serums, Yet my melanin was stubborn as a charcoal spot on a pedestrian. I had no shame but not a warrior too, Every time, I had grafted a new hope I was given facials and traumatic ways of improvement and scopes, My pain was for sale to which I had no one to barter I was dark and so inexpensive no one wants to grab I wanted to slit at once in die and reborn, Or wanted to rewrite my stars Hell no!!! why I am like them? I do believe in miracles and I am the one indeed. Water Falls of regrets no more sullied these eyes! Oh lord! What you gave I will retain, As what was given as here we shall keep…

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.
