Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
A poem which expresses deep concern over the changing face of mother earth and the urgent need to find solutions.
Deep in the ocean there is so much clutter ,
Choking and engulfing it’s treasures.
Do you remember the notes of the burbling river,
the dance of the marigolds fluttering across the creek?
The gentle caress in your face that ruffled your hair?
Oh! it was the happy and ever so gentle breeze.
The one which is now just a haze,
a mist that you despise and hate to breathe.
The one that gives you only sneeze and wheeze.
Do you have memories of a picnic across the magical stream,
Where the frogs croaked, fishes swam and ducks quacked.
Does it all sound like a fairy tale dream?
Look into the numerous skyscrapers piercing the clouds,
Strangulating her neck with putrid refuse,
drying out her salt-less tears.
It is the numerous unconscious choices we make,
that plays an integral part of these chain mistakes.
For once, let us all do our choicest part,
and make this world a spectacular piece of art,
Yet again!

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.
