Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Women are not just their bodies or their supposed actions or objects of desires. Women are who they want to be, and it's time we learn to accept that!
Women are not just their bodies or their supposed actions or objects of desires. Women are who they want to be, and it’s time we learn to accept that!
Who am I? I am a different person every day! Or every moment, If I must say!
At times I’m deep diving into my inner self, Fingering my deepest unravelled layers.
At times I’m holding on tightly to my roots, Next moment I could shoot off those roots to kiss the skies!
At times I’m laughing out loud, Like a child, Like a devil. Depends! Whether I’m shooing them away? Or flirting with my demons.
At times I’m cutting out the cacophony, the din, The judgements, opinions, the chagrins. Next moment you’ll see me making music and sonnets, Out of the same noisy dissonance.
At times I’m about to unleash a volley of verses, At times I choose ‘not’ to unmute myself for even a second.
C’ mon! It’s not the hormones. They are just a part. There is so much more to me..my darlings!
To the fathers, the sons, the brothers, the husbands and all dear men out there. To love and nurture is not an option. That’s in my DNA, That’s how I’m wired.
I’m the rock by your shore if the waves are severe. Anchor when you feel fragile or lost. But to guard my OWN self and esteem, I know pretty well how to disconnect or decouple.
Because ‘giving’ is a habit I can’t give up on, Doesn’t mean my rights, my dignities too, I’m giving away on a platter.
My bosom can hold even a volcano. But ‘Expectations’ a bit too much, ‘Stereotypes’ way too many, Or ‘for granted’ being taken a right, Some reasons that stir up my galvanic side.
To the hilt, I love to play, A myriad of my roles, But trust me I can rise above all, And just ‘make out’ with my soul!
I’m a woman … a creation most beautiful. Yes! I shall keep repeating and reminding myself.
Outside I might be an enigma of emotions, Inside, mind you… I’m a perfectly sorted puzzle!

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.
