Why do we worship female Goddesses where on the other hand, society is depressed when a girl is born?
In morning entered the maid,
having a beautiful smile and simple braid.
I asked her why she’s happy,
she proudly answered I am lucky.
Whole year I am cursed,
but in Navratri I feel blessed.
I couldn’t resist and asked her again,
how festival helped vanish her pain?
She responded, there are people who laughed at me,
as few years ago a girl was born to me.
In Navratri when girls are invited,
gifts showered, served food till tummy’s bursted.
The rest is then properly packed and stuffed,
which at home becomes two times supper served.
So, today I laugh at people who make boys noise,
telling that girls perform their duty with much poise.
I smiled and thought there is unnoticed divine power,
and festivals truly are blessings of shower.
This was today’s morning conversation with my maid, which made me pen down this post for girls who are cursed to be born and only in few festive occasion they are made feel special.
Do we ignore the divine message which says respect the woman and regard them?

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.
