Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
People say a wife’s duty is to foster her husband’s nest and a husband’s duty is also the same. But do they understand it? Or feel the same?
And finally, her forehead painted with red,Ah! She looks so beautiful.Her painted red feet entered into a new abode.A dwelling which she was longing for.
There was radiance in her face.All she wanted was a true soul and a son for her mother.Every day she weaved loved and longed to receive love.
Very soon her illuminated face became foggy.They always criticized and mocked her.The reason was her simplicity.
Her jewel was her knowledge.She never cared for plastering her skin or drape with glitter.Each day she waited for his admiration.
Each day she waited for him to take care of her creator.Each day she hoped,And each day she died.
People say a wife’s duty is to foster her husband’s nest.Equally a husband’s duty is also the same.But do they understand this?
He treated her as a fallen woman,They just needed a golden goose.Still, she strived to survive.
Alas! she was traumatised but hid it with a smile.Until she roared in silence.Finally, she had discarded the recycle bin.
Huh! Folks assembled to see her moist,To bulletin her pain and shower with suggestions.She is already ripened and knows her business.
All she needed aid,From her tribe.But only received hollowness.
She stitched her lips,Deserted her eyes.

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.
