I love books. Growing up, I was surrounded by books. Everyone in my family had a habit of reading and I being the youngest quickly picked up this habit. I love the small of coffee, tea, petrol and books. If you ever see me in a book store, you will find me sniffing every book that I pick up to read. I love spending time inside bookstores. If you gave me a choice to go clubbing or to sit in a bookstore that sits adjacent to a coffee shop, I would definitely choose the latter. I am not an intellectual person. I am simply someone who likes to read, and this habit has helped me in so many ways. Being a woman more so. But most importantly books have kept me sane. Whenever I feel low, happy, or lonely I pick up a book. There is a book for every feeling. ‘The monk who sold a Ferrari’,lifted me up when I was feeling a little low during my college years. ‘Gone with the wind’, showed me what an independent woman looks like. And more recently the ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ series kept my weekends vibrant. I have observed that people can leave you feeling lonely, drained or even left out, but if you have a book with you no one can touch your sanity. A book protects you. It speaks to you and keeps you company. It broadens your horizon. It is more than a good habit. They do not say for nothing ‘that a well read woman is a dangerous woman.’ She is dangerous because she is intelligent. She is dangerous because she knows to be self sufficient. And she is dangerous because you will never find her lonely. Whenever a little loneliness does creep up, she can always be rescued from it by a valiant book. Your knight in shining armour isn’t a man after all, but its a book who can leave you enamoured with heightened emotions.

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.
