A symbolic poem that talks about menstruation and how it unites the women.
This is a poem on menstruation. Red Rain symbolizes bleeding and Red roses symbolize vagina . In the poem, there is a red rose who doesn’t bleed so obviously. She feels the odd one out but here all roses hug her and give her a place in their bunch. This emphasizes on the essence that sisterhood unites women.
The clock strikes thirty. Times up. It’s time for Red Rain to come Red Roses wake up from a long sleep Roses Open up their arms with rejoice to welcome the Rain.
Red drops falls down On the roses Makes them as glossy as honey Roses giggling Gossiping with each other One excites “Red Rain procreates” Another one muddles “Red Rain puts all of us in a Golden Cage” One in middle cries “Oh !!! Red Rain hurts” Anther one whispers ” If not rain, One is not FIT ” the wise elder one declares ” Red Rain is our prestige”
In a little corner One with tears on her cheeks Bemoaned ” I don’t have Red Drops” So the one came And took a red tear from her Red cheek And sighed “See you have Red Drop, dear” You still are a Red Rose”
All roses hug her The bunch Farewell the Red Rain To come again , When again clock strikes thirty.

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.
