Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
As I write this, there must be scores of women who are turning into mothers this very moment. I don’t think there is anything else in the world that compares to the beauty, the feeling and the happiness of being a mother.
It is indeed a blessing to be a mother… to nourish life, to see a part of you grow outside you and to cherish every milestone.
Having said that, I also feel that a woman doesn’t become a mother only when she gives birth to a child. All women with motherly affection are mothers. For that matter, everyone, irrespective of their gender, who brings out the mom in them is a mother.
Why only humans, we have all seen animals and birds protecting their offspring. It’s amazing, how fiercely they protect their kids.
So today we should celebrate the essence of Motherhood.
So here’s to those
To the men who become moms to their children and give their best.
To those mothers who adopted children and gave them a new lease of life.
To the maids who bring up the kids, in the absence of their moms. Sometimes, leaving their own at home.
To the ladies who run the creche, who make your life easier by taking care of your kids while you are away.
To the teachers who become mothers at school and take care of them like how you would.
To the elder siblings who bring out the mother in them to protect and love their sisters or brothers.
To the friends who become moms and give that protective hug whenever necessary.
To everyone who is or has brought out the mother in them some time in their life.
So, after you are done calling your mom and wishing her a Happy Mother’s Day, please do wish all the women and men who have made a difference, who have protected, loved and nurtured you like a mother.
Cheers to motherhood, to my mom and to every mom.

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.
