They say behind every "Behind every successful woman there is a parent and a partner". But not each woman is blessed enough to have a partner as caring as her parents.
They say behind every “Behind every successful woman there is a parent and a partner”. But not each woman is blessed enough to have a partner as caring as her parents.
They say the times have changed and are not like then But I am eager to know if that’s so, when?
I say only the time has changed and not my everyday struggle As I have so much and so many to juggle.
To you, I mustn’t compete with men and step out of those doors As you only see me worthy of sitting at home and doing all the chores.
But, I dream of flying high to see great success Why then must I be pulled down and put through this stress?
No good are your rules, both old and new I say it would do you good to develop a fresh point of view.
You cannot mold me and get me to do as you say Because now, I am determined to cross every hurdle you put in my way.
I shall now achieve the freedom I seek, For I no longer choose to be weak!

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.
