Ma, you always said that you regret you have not done much in life. But you are my inspiration. You aren't 'just' a housewife!
Ma, you always said that you regret you have not done much in life. But you are my inspiration. You aren’t ‘just’ a housewife!
Dear Ma,
I miss you. And I cannot put it in words how much I miss you and your talks, care, love, hugs, kisses, lap and so much more. I again fail to describe it in words.
Ever since I got married, I have understood your importance and your teachings in life. I have learned so much from you that made me who I am today. However, I regret that I did not learn enough from you.
It is often quoted, ‘Housewives do not do much.‘ However, I respectfully disagree. You are not just a housewife. Maa, you made our home heaven for us. You took care of everything in the house and made it a happy place for each one of us in the family.
Not only did you cook scrumptious meals but also decorated the house and infused positive vibes in the house just by being there for us! You took the lead and taught us to stand up for ourselves whenever required.
Maa, you showed how imperative it is to have respect and love to have a harmonious life. Not only, I was in awe of your resilience and tactics to overcome the blues but you also incorporated these beautiful manners in us for which I am so proud of and to be honest, I sometimes flex about it too. And why not?
Mummy, you always said that you regret you have not done much in life. But let me tell you, you are my inspiration. I want to be who you are today. At 60, you are this enthusiastic kid at heart who is always excited to look at new recipes on YouTube, try them the very moment and cook us amazing food!
You are so knowledgeable about maintaining the house, decor and garden. In fact, you just blow me away with your gardening skills or every time you make additions to the house. It makes me wonder how are you so energetic and passionate about things.
You say that you do not know much and you are just a housewife. But you are not just a housewife, Ma. You are the pillar of the house, you are the guiding light, the educator. Ma, you are our roadmap to happiness. You are the vibe of the house. And I am learning so much from you.
I wish to inculcate some of your traits in me. You are my wonder woman for whom nothing is impossible. I wish you nothing but the best in life Ma.
I love you.
Your proud daughter

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.
