The poem explores what makes a woman beautiful at each stage of her life. Read on!
Who is the prettiest little girl in the world?
The one whose charm is unparalleled.
She has a spring in her step and a twinkle in her eye,
Asks questions constantly, she is never shy!
The beauty of the world is for her to explore
Her wings are intact, high above she can soar.
The tentacles of society have not reached her
Under her parents’ guidance, she sprints without fear!
Who is the most beautiful young woman that you see?
She combines wit and charm effortlessly,
Sitting with her beau on a dinner date,
Her opinions on grave matters she states!
Science, politics, sports- she can discuss with elan,
She is more erudite than her man!
Who is the most beautiful mother, you know?
She is there for her children through every high and low,
Their strongest supporter, their biggest fan,
She teaches her boy how to be a man,
Respectful to women, while her daughter she leads
By example, making her independent for her needs!
Who is the most beautiful grandmother, can you say?
Her uncanny perception on any day
Gives her a radiant confidence.
No lies or excuses work in her presence,
Worldly wisdom is packed in those wrinkles.
Her wit charms all, her eyes still twinkle!
She may be at any stage of life, but for me,
The one thing that gives a woman her true beauty-
Is the confidence that she exudes from every pore,
She is a true gem, down to her core!

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.
