This short story very beautifully tells us, that certain things are better when spoken. Do read.
The strength of her inability still overshadows the intent and she knows that even if she got a chance to go back in time and say what she did want to, she would not be able to. And as she is like she is, everyday came with a moment when she said less than what she felt. The recent incident with Kinchu, when only their father’s hug could do the trick, triggered in her an urge to write, write about the infinite more memories and better relations that a few words could make. We don’t shy away from expressing disagreement. But when it comes to express love, why is it that some of us are shy, some of us have ego and still others think that life has taught them to shut up!Affection, she thought, demands to be put in words.

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.
