#Poetry. Here is a short poem on the feelings of a mother as she holds her baby close, a poem that expresses all that motherhood is about.
As a mother our greatest wish is to see our children happy & content in life. There is no stone that a mother will leave unturned in order to shield her child from harm. A mother’s first instinct is not her own survival but the survival of her child. Some thoughts.
When the path ahead is unclear and the going is tough, When the road ahead is strewn with stones rough, Hold my hand and trust my instinct, I’ll take you through life, on to paths distinct.
When you are depressed and are feeling sad When the things around you all appear to be bad Lean on my shoulder, cry a bit on it Put all your troubles on my lap, whilst near me you sit.
When your brain is muddled and thinking is fuzzy When you believe you are going to go stark, raving crazy. Whisper your troubles into my ear And I’ll guide you onto thoughts, crystal clear.
When you are confused & appear to lose your focus When things around you seem to be in hocus-pocus Close your mind and lend me your thoughts Let me be your brain, let me call the shots.
When your eyes appear to un-see, what’s clear as a picture? When everything around you is losing its structure. Just close your eyes and let yourself be I promise, I’ll be there for you, for you I shall see.
If ever in doubt, ever in an ache, Always remember and this truth never shake; I’ll always be there, just being your shadow Will never leave you, in misery, to wallow.
Born of my womb, we are connected, By threads that for the world could well be undetected. Our bond shall triumph over the biggest travail, The fates may rail against us, but to no avail.
My love shall shield you from all harm, It will protect you like a lucky charm. As your mother, this much I do vow To this strength of motherhood, I bow.

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.
