The phenomenon of ageing and acquiring grey hair expressed in an interesting poetic description.
The rhapsody of black and white
Fused lines between tassels muted and bright
At ease, a salt pepper palette of cutting edge
Goodness of an oversized mane or a quirky wedge
A paradoxical source of resilience and strength
Breaking perceptions about monotony in length
Highlights a symbol of ageless pigments
A contoured look, slaying with smudged vignettes
In fact, the grey mane is your splendorous mess
While the black warriors through daily stress
What does this trophy mean to you, why go this way?
Changes to, ooooohhhh how long does the silver stay?
I know each strang gathers stories, takes a brave fight
Completes my sassiness with a blend of poetic highlights
A way to live with ambiguity, and some non negotiables
One grey strand after another to shatter those fables
I started by just testing a thought, an imagined hypothesis
Succumbing to authenticity is easier than keeping up appearances
What it means to embrace life as delivered, accept a glass half full
A cocktail of salt, pepper and autumns does create a palpable pull

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.
