“Sometimes being a woman seems to be a boon, and sometimes seems to be a sin”- Poetry which narrates what being a woman entails!
Being a Woman- a boon or a sin, Right from childhood to old age, Trained to behave appropriately, Whatsoever the circumstances demand.
Can’t afford to lose maturity, Society dictates rules upon us, What to wear, how to walk, whom to talk, What not to follow, what to study, the list goes on!
Still the harassment continues in the midst of rules, Some work like a robot supporting others 24/7, But not taking care of self. Showering unconditional love, Expecting nothing in return except love and care from others, But that too difficult at times, As people fail to reciprocate in same wavelength.
Life of a woman is like a candle itself, Candle lit by parents, slowly diminishes with age, Burning within providing light everywhere. Suffering everything silently, Taught from childhood to make others content. Overlooking oneself. Sometimes the flame flickers at times of difficulties, And then the wick goes further down and down, With passing age, nourishing others. Finally, at the end, smoke from the wick comes out.
When our soul gets released leaving behind, What we wriggled and erected all along; Born to struggle and care for others, It seems selfish at times when you care for yourself. Journey of life teaches her a lot more than her parents, Faces of deceit, treachery, mockery, villainy Comes face to face.
Being bold and courageous helps, Never losing hope, she marches forward. Sometimes being a woman seems to be a boon, and sometimes seems to be a sin!

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.
