The author pens a poem which is not just about her sibling but all those who mean as much to her – her cousins, friends like family and of course siblings in law!
Relationship of a sibling to sibling
Is a cocktail of love and quibbling
Always there for each other,
A delightful sister or brother.
First and dearest are our own,
For, in life, one’s never again alone.
Talking from dusk to dawn,
Sharing joys or lending a shoulder to cry on.
Next are kids of uncles and aunts,
Important like sun to plants.
What’s a childhood without them.
Imagine a tree without stem.
Then come some special friends,
Colouring all the important ends.
They are ones you pick by choice,
Those who can hear your inner voice.
And finally are the ‘in laws’,
Who accept you despite all flaws.
Over time this bond becomes so strong,
It feels you’ve known them long.
A sibling loves you from the heart,
Never to be drawn apart.
They make up a person’s family,
And help live life happily.
Author’s note: I would love to hear your thoughts on my poem and what you like to say about each of these special ‘siblings’ in your life.

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.
