Poem: Don't Choose Easy! -It’s easy to talk behind someone’s back, But tough to hold the attention of an audience. It’s easy to pull down someone, But very arduous to scale a precarious peak.
It’s easy to talk behind someone’s back,
But tough to hold the attention of an audience.
It’s easy to pull down someone,
But very arduous to scale a precarious peak.
It’s easy to let your tongue run loose,
But very gruelling to run a marathon.
It’s easy to remain in the confines of prejudice,
But very harrowing to spread the ideas of tolerance.
Remember though…
Only those get awarded, who march ahead with determination,
No one is rewarded for slandering or causing humiliation!
The age-old adages are always correct,
As the dog barks, the elephant keeps walking erect!
So let the tongues wag, let the naysayers try to detract,
Keep doing what you do, till you make an impact!

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.
