When I was a young girl of six, I would make numerous sets of tiny footprints on the pristine beaches of Mangalore. I would spend hours mesmerized by the waves, the method in their madness, and the mood swings of the sun. Most fascinating of all, I would spend time collecting shells while my cousins splashed about in the water. It didn’t matter how much time it took, I had to have the best shells- of different shapes, sizes, and colours. Carefully, I’d create an assortment of shells, take them home, and give it to my loved ones as ‘gifts’.
Today, at 21, I hope to do the same for you, dear readers. As Content Manager, I aim to gift you the most insightful and useful resources at Women’s Web. What I hope to use in this pursuit is an undying love for the written word, an inextinguishable curiosity about women’s issues, and a cheeky knack for editing.
I found Aparna when I was fresh out of college, with a bachelor’s degree in Economics, and an enthusiasm to turn idealism to reality. Having studied Politics and History, I’m aware that the fight for equality remains a steep hill to climb. I hope to contribute to this uphill climb in all the ways I can.
At this point in time, I think it’s important for women to pool in their insights, knowledge, and resources to build strong communities. Communities, whether online or offline, that allow for breaking down stereotypes, taboos, and limitations, while encouraging growth and solidarity. I saw Women’s Web as a platform to do my bit in creating such a community, and here I am!
After all, like Margaret Mead summed it up perfectly, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Neelu might have outwardly forgiven Ramesh, but in her mind, which once was filled with unconditional love for Ramesh, there was now a seed of resentment.
Ramesh’s footsteps paused at the entrance of the hotel’s ballroom. Inside, his school’s reunion party was going in full swing. The air was heavy, as expensive perfumes and the aroma of food from the buffet table, mingled. There were low murmurs, tinkling laughs and clinks of cutlery.
Ramesh had not wanted to come, knowing that she would be there. She, Neelu, who once had been the love of his life. Taking a deep breath, Ramesh entered the room. His eyes found Neelu almost immediately. She still looked the same. Maybe there was now grey in her hair and a few wrinkles on her face. But her vivacity, her mannerisms were still the same. Things, that had first attracted him.

Excerpts from an interview with Arathi Rajagopalan, founder of ‘House of Kalart’ – a fusion jewellery label that merges global aesthetics and traditional craftsmanship.
When did you start ‘House of Kalart’ and what was the intention?
I started House of Kalart in 2017 as a venture where painting, drawing and embroidery are married with metalsmithing to create well-handcrafted fashion jewellery. Along with painting and styling, the venture aims to create a holistic fashion experience for a bold and dramatic woman!” As a child, I had always been fascinated by arts and crafts.

Financial independence. Its mode may differ from one person to another but the value remains same – self esteem, decision-making.
But what if you are not earning? When your all home and personal needs are decided and satisfied by others? With others I meant those consider themselves in authority over you in the family: father, mother or husband. It is unbearable when the person is highly educated or talented enough to earn for oneself, and yet cannot due to circumstances.
