Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
I am scared, now aghast, will my shortcomings be broadcast. I am scared, I live in terror, and fear will remain so forever.
“I am scared, now aghast, will my shortcomings be broadcast. I am scared, I live in terror, and fear will remain so forever.”
I am scared, constantly in fear,
Of tigers on TV and lizards near.
I am scared, always in dread,
Also of my boss’s words unsaid.
I am scared, perennially worried,
Of garden rats long dead and buried.
I am scared, always anxious,
Also of my thoughts mildly obnoxious.
I am scared, quite perturbed,
What if he finds my pitch absurd.
I am scared, always alarmed,
To step out of home unarmed.
I am scared, now uneasy,
Isn’t the baby mildly wheezy?
I am scared, a tad concerned,
Of that creep a year ago I spurned.
I am scared, I do squirm,
At mention of worm and sperm.
I am scared, I always panic,
In traffic and mid Atlantic.
I am scared, much agitated,
This airstrip too seems ill fated.
I am scared, now aghast,
Will my shortcomings be broadcast.
I am scared, I am phobic,
Of things macro and microbic.
I am scared, I live in terror,
And fear will remain so forever.

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.
