Why do we worship female Goddesses where on the other hand, society is depressed when a girl is born?
In morning entered the maid,
having a beautiful smile and simple braid.
I asked her why she’s happy,
she proudly answered I am lucky.
Whole year I am cursed,
but in Navratri I feel blessed.
I couldn’t resist and asked her again,
how festival helped vanish her pain?
She responded, there are people who laughed at me,
as few years ago a girl was born to me.
In Navratri when girls are invited,
gifts showered, served food till tummy’s bursted.
The rest is then properly packed and stuffed,
which at home becomes two times supper served.
So, today I laugh at people who make boys noise,
telling that girls perform their duty with much poise.
I smiled and thought there is unnoticed divine power,
and festivals truly are blessings of shower.
This was today’s morning conversation with my maid, which made me pen down this post for girls who are cursed to be born and only in few festive occasion they are made feel special.
Do we ignore the divine message which says respect the woman and regard them?

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.
