Buried under the smiles, There are dreams I am trying to find, They aren’t flashy, not those usual ones,
Beneath those happy go lucky times, There are desires that lay hidden, Some of them eccentric, not so usual,
In my own space, With just a few around, I don’t need all of the world, I don’t care If I am not your kind,
It doesn’t bother me if I don’t fit in with what’s norm, One life it is and I would rather live, On my own terms and in my own way,
They might call me a recluse, But that isn’t really an excuse, To not have the freedom to have my own views,
The usual doesn’t excite me, Age doesn’t stop me, Relations can never bind me,
My mind and heart will always strive, This is how I want to thrive, To be nothing but just a free soul!

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.
