The bitter sweet memory of a son leaving to pave his own way in the world.
As the time to part, draws near,
The mind wonders….
Is this the end of one phase,
And the beginning of another?
You are soon leaving,
Our lives are changing.
I see expectation and anticipation,
In your gaze.
Wasn’t this what I always wanted….
for you to walk tall,
into the future that awaits.
Go meet your tomorrow my Son,
With arms wide open.
Be all that you want to be and more.
Grow in strength from day to day.
That’s all I want.
That’s all I pray.
For its a time to part:
A time to grow,
Not just for you,
But for me too.

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.
