A heart warming poem from an expecting mother to her unborn girl, " I am terrified of an error, No wiser than the next personm, But the wisest to you.
My dear girl
I am scared
Of you getting a form
Is it right here for you
Will it be wise
To bring innocence
In this jaded world
With children with old eyes
Where you can become
An object of lust
From the day you will be born
Scared
You will grow up too soon
Lose the touch of whimsy too soon
The joy of unfettered play
And believing anything possible
Santa fairies Godmother and flying pumpkins
Become limited by your own thoughts
Watch the child die before
The child has ever the chance to grow
What would I teach you
Which thought
Which ideology
When I am not even sure of it myself
They tell this is the right way and that wrong
I am terrified of an error
No wiser than the next person
But the wisest to you

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.
