Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
A beautiful rhyme about the fleeting nature of time
It flies from morn to eve
For the precious moments lost, I grieve
I hear the hours ticking by
My heart gives a silent cry
Oh! Please, oh! Please, pause I plead
But, Time, it does not head
Oh! I need a moment to feel alive
Pushed to the edge of precipice I just survive
Oh! Time, give me a moment
To catch my breath
A moment to feel the dew
Beneath my feet
Oh time let me heel with
The soft caress of the wind
Oh time I say be kind
I want to hear the rustle of the leaves
I want to watch the mesmerising dance
Of the tiny raindrops on my window pane

For Time it moves on, with great haste
It nudges the innocent to step into teens
The joys of youth do not trust

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.
