Let the world not celebrate women only on Women's Day..let this celebration continue until there is no need to have a "Women's Day".
Another Women’s Day has just gone by
The social media made a hue and cry
Cheers and praises for your persistence
Kudos for all your endurance
Oh Women, the world acknowledged your existence.
Verses on the beauty of your eyes grew viral
Novels featuring your sacrifices were just phenomenal
Tweets celebrating your pain and tears got hash-tags
Movies where you cried and died turned blockbusters
Celebrities debated on gender equality
Businesses flaunted pink dresses in frivolity
Media fought wars booming their TRP
Political parties added your needs to their manifesto
Husbands certified your long haul
Children hugged you tight with a sweet soul
Employers sang praises of your uphill battle
Parents thought you were still cute and little
Now, let’s begin dreaming a world, not too distant
Where women do not just exist, but lead
With your empathy and intuition as blessings
With the same devotion and nurture as you dote on your babies
Oh Women, lead the world to peace and harmony.
May every single firm, state or country thrive in your hands
Let all the living beings feel loved under your protection
Pray, the Mother Earth begins to blossom in your love and care
Emotions, values, and humanity may finally be restored
Oh Women, you are the future of the world.
Expand your horizons and begin to fly
For it’s not just your family that needs you
It’s indeed the whole wide world
Oh Women, don’t settle for a mere acknowledgment
Be the light that shines the world!

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.
