I am from India my land my home, I come back here no matter where else I’ve roamed...
I come from a land of a billion,
I come from a mystic place of saris, dhotis, bangles and foreheads with vermillion.
I come from a home of faith, belief and prayers,
When you look around, you see people of different layers.
I come from a land of dosas, chutney,
Idli, vadas and sambar,
I come from a place where there are bustling markets and bazaars.
I am from a family of strong women folk,
Follow traditions and sing prayers to Gods we invoke.
I am from a land of untold history and grandeur,
Of Palaces, Maharajas, wealth and Princess’ allure.
I am from a land of mysticism, religion, culture and the Kama Sutra,
I am from the rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Brahmaputra.
I come from a place of many languages and states,
I come from lands of natural beauty many can appreciate.
I come from a land that had struggled and lost its riches and treasures,
I come from a land of the Kohinoor Diamond and many undiscovered treasures.
I am from a place of peace, Buddha and his teachings,
I am from a land of many priests, pilgrimages and The Holy Books’ Teachings.
I am from the land of mountains, valleys and beautiful sceneries,
I am from a land of many Gods, Goddesses and powerful energies.
I am from India my land my home,
I come back here no matter where else I’ve roamed.
I am from family and friends who are close and dear,
No matter the odds, I face my everyday with strength, not fear.

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.
