What is beauty?
A combination of qualities that pleases the aesthetic senses.
What is aesthetics?
A theoretical concept based on perception.
Then why is there a common standard to define beauty which is merely a concept?
Everyone is in a mad rush to ape the latest trend and look beautiful.
No one wants to leave anything to the beholder’s perception…
Everyone just wants perfection.
Perfect eyes, perfect, nose, perfect lips,
Long lustrous hair, good height,
Slender fingers and long legs,
Thin waist and…
In this mad rush of perfect existence,
We overlook the beauty which is purest.
Eyes deeper than oceans which bare the soul,
Rough hands that have toiled,
Skin as wrinkled as a raisin having lived a full life,
Enigmatic demeanour that’s the virtue of a private existence.
Laughter as free as bells ringing with no pretence.
Skin gleaming with the pride of self-belief and joy of self-love.
Standing tall with confidence and towering above.
Donning clothes that are simple and basic yet functional.
Barefoot or high-heeled, but down to earth and grounded.
Achieving significant milestones and holding one’s head high.
Honest, loving, and loyal,
Respectful, generous, and humble,
Resilient, Compassionate, and Grateful.
These are the purest and meaningful aspects of beauty one must strive for,
Instead of merely cloning a pretentious standard when you can be so much 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.
