Poem: My Ukrainian sister, my heart and yours merge, Tiny bits of golden happiness. I sift from falling stardust, even in dark, scary, smoggy, wintery nights. I send you the light and love to mergeI. feel your silent, sad presence. Your loss walks with me...
Listening to the sounds of nature
I walk in the greens
Watching the sun setting in oceans afar
Waves go home to rest; they merge
My soul talks to the wind
Creatures of the night come alive to
Whisper their secret songs
I am them for the moment; we merge
At home in my nest
Sipping wine, nibbling cheese
An unknown melody plays in me
My Ukrainian sister, my heart and yours merge
Tiny bits of golden happiness
I sift from falling stardust, even in
Dark, scary, smoggy, wintery nights
I send you the light and love to merge
I feel your silent, sad presence
Your loss walks with me
My Ukrainian Sisters living far beyond my borders
I send prayers for kindness and peace to emerge!

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.
