A heartfelt poem about the journey of being a woman! 'I have created life and I have nurtured souls, I have met some, missed some and created more life-goals.'
I look back in the journey of time I see a carefree girl with a pure smile.
She is happy and adventurous and roams the wild path, Oh, if she really knew she has to face life’s wrath.
But I am a woman, no more that girl, a woman who has seen it all,
I have fought, loved, won and lost, I have done things I’d have never thought.
Living the life of a woman is full of challenges, smiles, tears and bravery
I have been held high, admired and adored,
I have been shredded to pieces, hated, and ignored.
I have won hearts, I have let many down, I wear my scars of soul and body, like a crown.
I have made friends, I have made foes, some people I thought as friends, I have let them go.
I have created life, and I have nurtured souls, I have met some, missed some, and created more life goals.
I have travelled the world and connected with strangers, I have learned that too much attachment can be a danger.
I have gained weight and have had no time for makeup, but I am a better person with more patience and peace when I wake up.
At peace with my wrinkles, the undone eyebrows, the stretch marks, and the frizz, my life is not about a pretty face, but my achievements, my work, and my dreams.
I have lived different roles and wore different masks, smiled through worries, and cried happy tears, and I know that I am more than the beauty that often wears.
I am the woman who has been tested through time, have passed few but failed more in sublime.
I long to be the free girl but I know I am a better person now, I am a woman who knows that life is about whys and not about the hows.

Experimenting with experiences is the mantra of my life. Writing is a passion that helps me channel my emotions and recreate memories, publish points of view and create stories. A self-proclaimed creative soul, I read more...

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.
