Teacher’s Day special, here is a poem of gratitude where the writer remembers and thanks all those teachers responsible for who she is today.
I still remember my early days in school
And the lovely Carmel Sisters.
Those beautiful morning prayers that
I hum till now.
I got ready for my class, with the intervals of friends…
Those Daisy white flowers, that painted my school wall.
Lovely classes to know, knowledge explained thorough
With silence as golden, discipline as perspective.
Teacher’s used the scales to draw the modules…
I, for a second got scared, at the black board.
But, they smilingly assured, my attitude that counted.
The waves of my work, did score me my marks…
The teachers made it clear or you need to polish my grades.
As I worked up my spirits and the teachers stayed back to help
I thank from my heart, the support of my angels…
The teachers who gave me my medal.
Today, as I look up to my name on the board,
I can’t stop myself from thanking them
How they gave me a name!
Happy Teacher’s Day.

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.
