This poem, A Lifetime For You, is dedicated to all women who nourish their relationships and children with love, care and all they have.
This poem is originally from Soul of a Woman, a poetry collection book.
To replenish a purpose To rebirth our own soul To recreate We water ourselves so we can bring what we carry within.
To grant mothering To nourish our own excerpt To thrive We share our sustenance through umbilical cord in order to serve when you are born.
To bury the anguish To rescue you from failure So exquisite We drown oneself into drench for a love which is far beyond any reasoning.
We respect you for struggling. We help you to fight for this life system.
Though what amazes us all; We are fighting to protect our own life as well.
Though what surprises us all; You are not capable enough to respect, who makes your life worth living.
Though we are still admitting; To comfort all your hurdles To give formation to your life To endure We do a lot.
We do it all- As a lead donor. As a mother. As a life partner. As a wife.
More precisely- As a woman.

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.
