Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
The mirror, sparkling, gleaming bright,
It beckons, tries hard to entice.
My dreams, my hopes, my soul’s alight!
Is this the truth or mere a reflection?
I am a woman, they say the mirror is my need,
It plays many roles, friend, foe, lover.
Sometimes I wait, sometimes I plead,
It changes colours, it is wily, it is devious.
A mirror is an ocean where worlds collide,
Conscious, unconscious, dreams, truth.
Hearts laid bare, yet secrets to hide,
Illusions, visions, who am I?
I close my eyes, the questions wane,
The answers I seek, no mirror contains!

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.
