There's a moment in every mom's day when you feel like a failure due to excessive pressure, tiredness and finding it difficult to handle everything alone! And then you remember your own MOM!
Yes, I am a full-time mom.
I care, cook, clean, soothe, gives bath, food, love, cuddles, love, peace, everything I had and a lot which even does not have a name! Yes you mom, knows it!
There’s a moment in every mom’s day when you feel like a failure due to excessive pressure, tiredness and finding it difficult to handle everything alone! And then you remember your own MOM!
No matter at a stage of life we are in, we need our mom. A mom too wants her mom for all that comfort, safety and affection. You, all mothers, are heroes without a cape.
It’s true, I love being consumed by motherhood. And that doesn’t mean I love every moment.
Because I don’t enjoy the arms and legs flailing in the air, tantrums, cleaning up messes, laundry, laundry, and MORE LAUNDRY, and middle-of-the-night wake-ups. And sure, I’d like more, “me time,” to go to the gym, go to the bathroom alone, or work on something I’m passionate about with no interruptions. But I love my life centred around them, waking up to kids in my bed and listening to their laughter through heavy eyelids, always having a child on me and a day planned around their activities, and getting to be the biggest influence in their lives. Because being consumed by motherhood, also means being consumed by our children’s giggles and smiles! Getting to be their safe harbour no matter the storms they’re facing, getting to know everything about their different personalities, and giving and receiving so much love.
And sooner than I’ll ever be ready for, I’ll be wondering what to do with myself. Because time is fleeting, and this is the most time I’ll ever have with them — where they’ll choose to be with me. So, I’ll choose them back by soaking up every exhausting minute of this consuming time of motherhood. I’m tired and exhausted, but I love my child and will do it all again in another universe with my little one and of course
Want the same mom again and again.
Moms leave a footprint on our hearts like magic.

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.
