Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
The love I wanted was pure and restless. Where there were no judgements and only bliss. No one loved me the way I wished,
If music comes from a broken heart,
Mine would’ve sung a million songs,
If love is what you desire,
I wouldn’t have been broken from the start.
For the love I wanted was pure and restless,
Irrevocable and true and serene,
Where one could just lie and hope to live forever,
Where there were no judgements and everything was a bliss.
Nowhere can I find that love,
Am I so undesirable?
No one loved me the way I wished,
And still I yearn for some attention and trove.
Sometimes hugs can join your pieces,
Sometimes they can break you further apart,
Wherever I went, I didn’t find that unconditional love,
And my desire to be understood was amiss.
Maybe I should learn to be alone more often,
And desire for no one at all,
For gods sometimes enjoy your misery,
And make it even more permanent than you want.
With my phone switched off and no one around,
My mind wonders and wanders,
I am left to be alone and squander,
And yet told to be “strong” and bound.
If you were so alone, you’d know my pain,
And my only desire to be understood well,
Just one person would do my God,
Let all my pain be gone and slain.

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.
