To my beloved,
Waiting for you eagerly
To take birth inside me, my beautiful unborn child.
As a mother, I look forward to the moment,
to hear about your arrival
You are yet to be born
But my life has already started revolving around you my star!!
To have you, the doctor suggested me to not have food I like
To swallow medicines I dislike
To run, to hop, to jump,
To meditate, for my body to be ready
for your moment.
I make a promise to myself to be healthy for you
I am making a promise for you that
I will do anything that brings you to me
I will go far and beyond to hold you
I am ready to get pierced with needles
I am ready to go under a dozens of scan
All I wish is you as the result.
Never mind the gender, All I want is
a part of my blood shared in your veins
All the I love I failed to provide to my parents
I will shower on you like summer rain, strong and sweet.
Waiting to hear your reply
What to call you? A daughter? A son?
Do not bother; you are just going to be my angel
Please listen to your mother’s request and come to me soon
With love,
Yet to be born as a mother.

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.
