People say a wife’s duty is to foster her husband’s nest and a husband’s duty is also the same. But do they understand it? Or feel the same?
And finally, her forehead painted with red,Ah! She looks so beautiful.Her painted red feet entered into a new abode.A dwelling which she was longing for.
There was radiance in her face.All she wanted was a true soul and a son for her mother.Every day she weaved loved and longed to receive love.
Very soon her illuminated face became foggy.They always criticized and mocked her.The reason was her simplicity.
Her jewel was her knowledge.She never cared for plastering her skin or drape with glitter.Each day she waited for his admiration.
Each day she waited for him to take care of her creator.Each day she hoped,And each day she died.
People say a wife’s duty is to foster her husband’s nest.Equally a husband’s duty is also the same.But do they understand this?
He treated her as a fallen woman,They just needed a golden goose.Still, she strived to survive.
Alas! she was traumatised but hid it with a smile.Until she roared in silence.Finally, she had discarded the recycle bin.
Huh! Folks assembled to see her moist,To bulletin her pain and shower with suggestions.She is already ripened and knows her business.
All she needed aid,From her tribe.But only received hollowness.
She stitched her lips,Deserted her eyes.

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.
