Thanks Maa! Trust me, you have done a good job!
In the nights of agony, you were my solace
Your comforting words Maa, led the flame burning!
All my fears, inhibitions disappear, the moment I think of you,
I know we all have to walk our own path,
but thanks Maa for being my torch-bearer
I know, my restlessness always worried you, still you never showed,
“Come on, you can do it”– this is what you roared.
You know Maa, my friends say that I am so tough,
They queue up to take my advice and call me to solve their problems,
That very vulnerable and sensitive girl inside me peeps out and applauds-
and I can imagine your face brimming with pride & joy,
I chuckle to myself “Ah! What a transformation!”
You nurtured me with rich values and ethics,
You taught me to trust, when the whole world seemed despicable,
You taught me to be compassionate and to love,
I believe, this has really worked,
I can let go hard feelings so easily, and I can breathe…
I breathe to be free, I breathe to be at peace, I breathe to live my passion.
I am able to stand up for myself and for the things I feel are right,
Nothing can crumble my self-belief, nothing can deter my confidence,
I am no more brittle, nothing can break me down,
I breathe to aspire what I desire, I breathe for my ‘continuous evolution’
I promise Maa, I will always keep my conscience alive
See Maa, I am growing up and have grown up all these years,
I’ve captured my doubts, I have fought with my weaknesses,
I’ve followed my dreams and have explored my strengths….
Really Maa, your cocooned caterpillar is slowly growing into a butterfly,
A butterfly with spread out wings and multiple colours of life.
Maa, now you can heave a sigh of relief, just sit back and see me flying….
Thanks Maa! Trust me, you have done a good job
Kudos to you,
Love You,
Your baby J

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.
