We asked you, our readers, if you could learn one thing today, what would it be? Here are some of your answers.
Learning knows no limit. Despite the age and time you are in, one can always keep expanding one’s repertoire of skills and knowledge. Learning is also about rediscovering yourself every day. The pursuit to know yourself and the world around you is bound only by your eagerness to explore.
If you look around or look inside yourself, you will always find there is more room to discover. From learning how to drive a scooty at the age of forty five; or trying to accept your greying hair as part of your beauty; or simply learning to live alone in a new city as you start college; there is no end to what you can learn from life! Is there anything new that you want to learn at this stage of life? Probably something you would like to change about yourself or your life if given a chance?

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.
