A woman is more than her body. She's not just a pretty face. Her beauty is within, in the 'woman' she is inside, and that is what matters.
A woman is more than her body. She’s not just a pretty face. Her beauty is within, in the ‘woman’ she is inside, and that is what matters.
She’s not just a pretty face, To brighten up your day, She’s not just a pretty face, To laugh with and have your way, She’s not just a pretty face , To massage your ego and pass your time, Shes not just a pretty face, To be the background tune in your rhyme.
You thought you could undermine her might, Because of your limited short sight, But such is the power of truth and light, That she is destined to touch new heights.
You say women are equal, Yet you belittle her worth, You demean her efforts and sweat, When you associate success to her gender at first
You’re wired to think that a woman be shy, Despite being in an era where she’s taught to ask why, You’re wired to think that if she drinks she’ll fall all over the place, Despite being in an era where women have capacity to overtake you in the rat race, You’re wired to think she can either be one thing or be another, Despite being an era where she’s trained to be a daughter, friend, employee and mother
The next time you downplay a woman calling her just a pretty face, Remember to first match up with the challenges in her days, She’s not just living up to the years she was educated, She’s also fighting a silent battle to ensure she’s celebrated, Remember she’s not just a pretty face but a little bit of pretty all, Remember she’s not just a pretty face but an epitome of something that rises higher each time she falls
She’s not just a pretty face!

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.
