A Woman's Body
Touch yourself today.
But do not look in the mirror!
It makes you hate, it’s a critic.
If you want love,
You need to love yourself first.
Touch your face, feel the softness,
And that acne that makes you human!
Your lips are the most perfect ever
As there is no replica,
As they are one in a million.
Touch your breasts, gently caress,
Don’t wear a bra today!
Close your eyes and embrace the freedom…
As there is nothing more beautiful,
Yet forever caged.
Pamper your self today,
But not like in the spa.
Love your curves, they aren’t flaws,
As there is no comparison,
And just no one like you.
Your fingers go lower,
To the most special part.
You never tried to make it happy,
As you always wanted love from others.
You never mastered the Art.
Your lower back misses you,
It’s not impure.
It defines your beauty if you love it enough…
As it completes your shape,
While you saw it like filth.
See beyond the pedicure,
The nerves on your feet look gorgeous,
You need to see beyond the tan too,
As you haven’t seen before
And there is so much more!
Look down, it’s your own body!
It needs love not a new fabric,
It deserves your love and care…
As you’ve never loved it enough
And it feels suffocated.

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.
