The poetry metaphorically talks about women's helplessness and man's might. Women often give in, unable to stand men's power like the leaf did to that of the wind.

Try she did
The pretty green leaf
To hang on
But he was too strong
The robust wind
Determined
Adamant
Egoistic.
He bent upon her with all his might
And pulled her off
She shook… quivered… trembled
Begging him to let her stay
With her beloved
The old ragged branch.
But his need was greater
He shook with delight
As he took her
On a ride
Of passion
Of thirst
Of reckless desire
As she quietly succumbed
To his need and quagmire.
An idle tear left her eye
To touch a patch of soil
The ground was broken, bruised and dry.
The leaf heard something
Hoarse and wry
“Why do you weep, O pretty leaf?”
“You are but still green
See what he has done to the whole of me!”

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.
