Check out 16 Return-To-Work Programs In India For Ambitious Women Like You!
As I write this, there must be scores of women who are turning into mothers this very moment. I don’t think there is anything else in the world that compares to the beauty, the feeling and the happiness of being a mother.
It is indeed a blessing to be a mother… to nourish life, to see a part of you grow outside you and to cherish every milestone.
Having said that, I also feel that a woman doesn’t become a mother only when she gives birth to a child. All women with motherly affection are mothers. For that matter, everyone, irrespective of their gender, who brings out the mom in them is a mother.
Why only humans, we have all seen animals and birds protecting their offspring. It’s amazing, how fiercely they protect their kids.
So today we should celebrate the essence of Motherhood.
So here’s to those
To the men who become moms to their children and give their best.
To those mothers who adopted children and gave them a new lease of life.
To the maids who bring up the kids, in the absence of their moms. Sometimes, leaving their own at home.
To the ladies who run the creche, who make your life easier by taking care of your kids while you are away.
To the teachers who become mothers at school and take care of them like how you would.
To the elder siblings who bring out the mother in them to protect and love their sisters or brothers.
To the friends who become moms and give that protective hug whenever necessary.
To everyone who is or has brought out the mother in them some time in their life.
So, after you are done calling your mom and wishing her a Happy Mother’s Day, please do wish all the women and men who have made a difference, who have protected, loved and nurtured you like a mother.
Cheers to motherhood, to my mom and to every mom.

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.
