Poem for Women's Day: A woman is all this and so much more. She has conquered land, skies, and space. She can do anything under the sun, just name a chore. Once assigned a task, rest assured it will be in place.

Expansive like the limitless sky,
Sparkling like the twinkling star,
Sizzling like the red-hot sun,
Icy like the moon,
Deep like the bottomless ocean,
Intense like the breaking surfs,
Playful like the ebbing waves,
Refreshing, like the rain on a parched land,
Gentle as a spring breeze,
Tempestuous like a storm,
Bountiful like mother earth,
Tolerant like the ground,
Mysterious like the deep woods,
Invigorating like the green foliage…
A woman is all this and so much more.
She has conquered land, skies, and space.
She can do anything under the sun, just name a chore.
Once assigned a task, rest assured it will be in place.
She holds the key to life and its genesis.
Nurtures each life without kicking up a fuss.
She is as strong, confident, and ambitious.
But she is not a man, she knows the difference.
Her strife is not to claim equality or superiority.
She just wants to be recognized and have her own identity.
She wants to live as rightfully and live unapologetically!

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.
