The constant juggle and rush in life has got me thinking, how do we have it all in perfection?
I have been wondering with this thought every time. As I complete my 5th year of marriage and 3.5 years of motherhood, I look back and see how life has changed. I was married at 24.5 , soon after my posy graduation in law from a top ranked university. My husband has been an achiever and continues to be.. academics was my arena more than litigation. I soon joined as an Assistant Professor (law) and after a year and half, we were blessed with a baby girl.
Eight months later, I registered for my PhD , and currently in my final year. I was also blessed with fellowship for my PhD to go abroad, and as a family, we traveled.
And on my career front, I was fortunate to hold certain prominent positions. But as I am turning 30 next year, I was wondering, am I happy? Am I at peace? We are away from our family and we are trying to put a balance to life. And is a threshold against which we are measuring .
Or am I just tired..stressed..exhausted from the achiever we are.
Can a women be:
A. Mom to a toddler
B. Wife
C. Research scholar
D. Professor
E. Human
And yet retain sanity? The constant juggle and rush in life has got me thinking, how do we have it all in perfection?
I wish to know. And I wish to hear.

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.
