A poignant poem, in which a child reassures a grieving mother.
I wanted to cry, I wanted to die I wanted to leave all things behind I cried I shed tears while my baby lay beside He opened his eyes and raised his arms Touched my face with his little palm Looked in my eyes, smiled and giggled Threw his arms and legs, and babbled I took him in my arms and held him close
What do you feel my baby? What do you know?
I know mommy, I know it all. Believe me mommy it will all be well You will love me and I will love you We will be a team and we will fulfil our dreams Don’t feel sad mommy don’t feel bad Life will soon get little easier if not a lot We will sing and we will dance And mommy you will again make beautiful plans we will take each other by the hand And travel all over this vast land We will fly in the sky and travel the seas We will watch good movies and read lovely books
I will be your little buddy and you will be mine Believe me mommy we will be all fine.

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.
