Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Poem: Truth is sorry for being born, and slightly judgemental for having the spine. A silent sufferer too in the crowd while honesty weeps beside till dawn. The era of sky-high morals has left the building.
Truth is sorry for being born,
And slightly judgmental for having the spine.
A silent sufferer too in crowd,
While honesty weeps beside till dawn.
The era of sky-high morals,
Has left the building.
Silly smiles are in town.
Prejudice too just followed suit.
If you are a ruthless selfish, you’re welcome.
If you are a spineless serpent,
You are a sweetheart.
You will feel alone in your mighty heart,
Until you regret for having one.
You will walk the desert alone and thirsty,
Choking for an ounce of fresh perspective,
And gasping for opinions, not so biased,
Unless you carry a bunch of unpopular tales.
You will be pecked for good habits.
And sush-ed for right choices.
Good is the mobster,
Right is just so wrong.
Carelessness is cool,
And I can’t stress this enough.
Being heedful just signs you off.
Simple is labelled an outlaw,
And sensible is a complicated fool.
Caring is stale, an outdated stinker,
Making sense is a total looser.
Being right is an absolute redundancy.
Buried are the core values,
Six feet below the earth.
Cremated are the manners,
Common sense is next in line.
Truth is aghast at plastic confidence,
And wide-eyed at superfluous prides.
Its quiet mate called humble is missing since many summers,
While the heart of acceptance,
Stays aloof, in shivering winters.
Innocence suffers in the hands,
Of a skilled steerer.
A d vegan, an honest target at butchers,
wonders its blunder.
Simplicity is a borderline disorder.
Your heart will be pinned to wall,
And picked with darts,
If you possess the demons,
of morals unsuitable in filthy metros.

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.
