Oh the wonderful feeling of transitioning from a girl to the mother of girls.
Before I became a mother, life was a melange of things.
I had a carefree lifestyle and my eyes had no dark rings.
The mornings were languid awakenings, sunny and warm,
The evenings were romantic, they had their own charm.
Then along came the news that I was expecting the first one,
This mum wished for a healthy baby, be it daughter or son.
Nine months passed in a jiffy and there you were honey.
Oh! The bliss was incomparable to any amount of money.
Happily, I surrendered my mornings and evenings, my love.
I gave up my freedom, didn’t miss it even once, by Jove!
You changed me my child; you made a mother out of a girl.
Just know that I love the way that you are most in 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.
