Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
This short story very beautifully tells us, that certain things are better when spoken. Do read.
The strength of her inability still overshadows the intent and she knows that even if she got a chance to go back in time and say what she did want to, she would not be able to. And as she is like she is, everyday came with a moment when she said less than what she felt. The recent incident with Kinchu, when only their father’s hug could do the trick, triggered in her an urge to write, write about the infinite more memories and better relations that a few words could make. We don’t shy away from expressing disagreement. But when it comes to express love, why is it that some of us are shy, some of us have ego and still others think that life has taught them to shut up!Affection, she thought, demands to be put in words.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
