Do you have days when you just want to be that ‘ordinary girl’ and not the ‘strong woman’? You will so relate to this poem.
There are days when I’m just an ordinary girl Days when I am the girl next door…
One who tilts her head to the sunshine Who caresses petals tenderly There are days when I’m just an ordinary girl…
One who loves her hand to be held Who likes an arm around her waist There are days when I’m just an ordinary girl…
One who doesn’t worry about the repercussions Who doesn’t fret over tomorrow There are days when I’m just an ordinary girl…
One who wants sweet nothings to be whispered in her ear Who wants someone to flirt with her There are days when I’m just an ordinary girl…
One who can put her feet up after work Who needn’t worry about dinner every night There are days when I’m just an ordinary girl…
One who is loved Emotionally, mentally, physically & spiritually There are days when I’m just an ordinary girl…
One who can bawl her lungs out Who won’t be ridiculed for doing so There are days when I’m just an ordinary girl…
One who can get through the day without thinking a thousand thoughts Who can sleep the moment she closes her eyes There are days when I’m just an ordinary girl…
One who doesn’t have to wish for all of the above Who doesn’t have to be feisty, independent and strong all the while There are days when I wish I could be just an ordinary girl…

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.
