Check out 16 Return-To-Work Programs In India For Ambitious Women Like You!
Society tries to straitjacket a woman into its preconceived notions of what women should be, but a woman is so much more than all that!
She isn’t bothered by your thoughts about her, She doesn’t get overwhelmed by the games of power against her.
Her karma is to mix myriad colors to paint the canvas called life, Nevermind if these colors bring her grief or strife.
She absorbs your perspective, retaining her objectivity, As you shove your views on her, she maintains her sanity.
You call her offensively ambitious, How about “she is courageous!”
She is a go-getter, A trendsetter.
You see her vanity in her make up and ask disdainful whys, Wish you could leer through those cold, kohl smeared eyes.
You find her honesty threatening, Nonetheless she keeps on inspiring.
Her tolerance is magical, And you thought she is whimsical?
When she analyzed those operose problems for solutions, You dismissed her intelligence as coincidence.
You commodify her as sexy, She is but more than just being sexy.
A free-spirit ready to embrace the world, confident and caring, And all you saw in her was alluring!
As the world tried to change her self, She’s trying to maintain the selfless self.
Her identity is beyond to woo a man, She is a WOMAN!!!

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.
