As she lifted the baby, the enormous outbursts of emotions, couldn't be contained as tears rolled down, the joy of being a parent was too profound!
As she lifted the baby, the enormous outbursts of emotions, couldn’t be contained as tears rolled down, the joy of being a parent was too profound!
As the baby opened her eyes She couldn’t see her mother near. But the unknown eyes looked at her With love and compassion not felt before!
As the lady and her husband looked at the baby, They could feel the rekindled emotions That made their hearts skip a beat And longed to hold the baby in their arms!
Their frequent visits got them closer In their hearts, they wanted to be together. But the rules laid down by the society, Delayed them from becoming a family!
The same society, which views a lady with skepticism When she is unable to birth a child, The same society, which stresses on having heir, The same society, suddenly seemed protective Of the little being who had a chance at a better life!
Crossing all the hurdles, in due course Convincing the near and dear ones With the strong will to not lose the chance To parent a child, which is indeed an honour!
As she finally, lifted the baby in her arms The enormous outbursts of emotions Couldn’t be contained as tears rolled down, The joy of being a parent was too profound!

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.
