A mother’s work is never done. What does it feel to experience a moment of calm at the end of a long day, to carve out a smidgeon of time for me?
As the shadows of the night fallQuietness envelopes the earth.Done with household dutiesI tiptoe out of the roomTo claim the space, the timeI can call my own.Without interruptionOr whirlwind of duties, responsibilities beckoningNot the kitchen calling, orthe kids wailing,someone at the door, orthe phone ringing.The night settles in, so do ILost in a world of thoughts,my flight of imagination takes off,knitting dreams where I exist,with all that I want.Some, I work to realize,some will remain as dreams.But, still I cherish the night,the space of my own.

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.
