A poem that talks about the plight of private school teachers. They give in their best in molding the future generation. Yet, they get very less in return for their efforts.
I’m a private school teacher, I can teach well
but the habitat I can afford is not to dwell
I’ve to perfect in every sense
but if dare to complain that would be a nonsense
I have to be not good but perfect
And in return nothing to expect
I don’t deserve the credits they take
Because all I do seems fake
I don’t own a building, I don’t possess that furniture
But what is the worth of all that without a teacher?
I give all that I possess
Still, in return deserve too less
When will this road of tussle have a bend?
When will this exploitation come to an end?
Will u ever realize all you have
is just because I’m not a naive
I pity myself for all I have
But it fills your coffers with all I have
Just think of my life just think of my dreams
just lend an ear to listen to my silent screams
I’m born to enlighten and to brighten
tomorrows of generations and to heighten
their aims to take them further
But do I deserve too less just because I’m a private school teacher?

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.
