Dear millennial mom,
How hard you worked to get where you were But gave it up when you became a mother Following your own heart, you did so Let no one judge for they do not know
C-Sec it was, no need to explain Or normal delivery with equal pain It was your body, you did so Let no one judge for they do not know
You fed your child for long Or used milk and formula along Understanding your child, you did so Let no one judge for they do not know
You made your baby sleep alone Or beside you in the bed of your own Knowing your child, you did so Let no one judge for they do not know
You went back to work To pursue an ambition, no job did you shirk Making your own choice, you did so Let no one judge for they do not know
You chose to have a second one Or decided after one you are done Between husband and wife, you did so Let no one judge for they do not know
You left your child with family Or sent them to day care daily Deciding what’s good you did so Let no one judge for they do not know
You let them have too much fun Or are harsh and strictness overdone With care and love, you did so Let no one judge for they do not know
You did your best Juggling different roles without rest Three cheers to you, we owe Let no one judge for they do not know
Love Another millennial mom
Author’s note – It’s time we stop judging and respect each other’s decision. We don’t know what prompted others’ actions. Every parent does what’s best for them and their child, given their circumstances. Let’s be there to support, not judge!

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.
