Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
This Christmas, I ache to write, ‘I’m coming home…But I find my words asking me, ‘Where’s home for you?’
There’s something magical about Christmas.
From the carol singers to the reindeers, from the perfectly done Christmas trees to thoughtful presents … it’s as it every jingle, every sparkle goes right through to the soul and your heart pines to be home.
More than ever, you want to say, ‘I’m coming home…’
**
As for my loved ones,
I’m in love with words and they love me right back.
Faithfully, I write…
Together, we enjoy creation
Then readers join the party, there’s a little celebration
Everyday I write…
This Christmas, I ache to write, ‘I’m coming home…’
But I find my words asking me, ‘Where’s home for you?’
I say to my words, you need to understand. As Indian women, the day you are married, your parent’s home is yours no more. When then you get divorced, it’s another set of good byes.
Maybe one Christmas, we too, will go home.
As for now, let’s work up our magic of creation and make our own little celebration.
This Christmas, our heart is our home.

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.
