Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
What is peace to you? Sometimes, it does seem to be the beauty in our surroundings and the joys and triumphs of everyday life.
The chaotic din ends, is overtaken by lassitude.
The veil of the dark descends, extends quietude.
Drooping in on the gossamer wings of the fireflies-
It embraces the crepuscular solitude that now lies.
The fiery orb sinks, hides under the sky’s hemline.
The choral cacophony of birds dies down, in time.
Serenading the laconism of the caliginous night,
The crooning katydids and cicadas remain quiet.
The cattle, in languid stupor, amble back to the byre,
The denizens of the day settle down, they now retire.
As night steals over the shades of the day, they sigh!
They surrender their hues to the dark spreading nigh.
The empyrean moon in the garden of stars, ascends.
The misty wintery night creeps in, its claws it extends.
Homeward bound all scurry, hurrying to their abode,
The weary day sighs, glad to have shed its heavy load.
As the day unwinds, segues into the obscure eventide,
Solace shrouds, sleep beckons shyly like a new bride.
I prepare, ready to leave my woes, sink into slumber,
For I know now that peace will not be put asunder.

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.
