Ever wondered how zodiac signs shape up our personalities? Read this endearing poem written by a daughter for her Taurean mother.
To be raised by a Taurean mother,
Never, they try to cut short your undying verve,
But to question them is to get these stubborn moms onto your nerves.
Kind, vigorous, independent,
Wen they said, ‘Yes Sir’, that’s what they meant.
Charming, distinctive, worldly wise
Beware, they are pretty rigid and strictly, nice.
They don’t mince their words to make a pretty rhyme,
If they don’t like it, manipulation is definitely a waste of time.
Oh and how skilful,
How sure of everything,
You want your favourite dish,
There, at a wink!
Society doesn’t influence them so much,
Nothing questions their maternal benevolence and the visceral touch,
But Oh Dear Lord! When they get in their Taurean righteousness mode,
Stay silent and just nod!
Who herself is placid yet passionate,
Even so, being a single child,
Doesn’t guarantee you being her favourite.

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.
