Women let go of their dreams pretty early in their lives, and some never go that way again. It’s never too late to chase after dreams, though!
Stop… Let that milk on the stove burn, Let that call from dudhwalah wait, Take a moment, And look at yourself in the mirror Are you the one who you dreamed to be, when you were in school? If no, then act now! Go get up girl!
Stop… Let those clothes stay in the washer for some more time, Let those dishes wait Let your kiddo play with his father, Take a sip of Hot chai, feel its aroma and warmth, Take a moment And think, Are you the one who you dreamed to be, when you were in school? If no, then act now! Go get up girl!
Stop… Let the discussion with colleagues go like rockets on your head, Let the fastest target achiever title wait, Take a walk on lawn outside your office, And wonder, Are you the one who you dreamed to be, when you were in school? If no, then act now! Go get up girl!
Stop… Let someone from your neighborhood cook better food than yours, Let someone have more control over their kids than you have on your own, Let the comparisons wait, And cherish what you’ve got… Go after your dreams. Chase them. Try, Fall and rise again. It’s okay to fall. Its okay to get hurt in your journey. Make the journey “Yours!” Go get up girl!

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.
