A beautiful poem about the beauty and complexity of being a woman!
She is me,
She is you,
She is tough,
She is enough,
She is a girl,
She is a woman,
She is a goddess,
She is a human,
She is a sister,
She is a wife,
She is a mother,
She brings life,
She can love,
She can hate,
She carries emotions
you can’t articulate,
She is the future.
She is fate,
She isn’t a foe,
She is a mate.
“She isn’t poetry, She is a story herself”.

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.
