The song subtly hints at society's gaze towards women. It's like this subtle commentary on how women are both admired and objectified.
Suddenly this song “In Aankhon Ki Masti Ke” from “Umrao Jaan” popped into my head, and I’ve been humming it all evening. It’s just one of those melodies that stay with you, you know? And then, thinking about it, I realized how beautifully it encapsulates the essence of femininity.
The way it talks about a woman’s eyes is just mesmerizing. It’s like these eyes hold this incredible power to captivate and enchant everyone who looks at them. There’s something so mysterious and alluring about the way they’re described in the song.
It’s more than just praising physical beauty; it’s about the depth and the stories those eyes seem to hide. They’re like windows to the soul, conveying emotions, desires, and complexities without saying a word.
She embodies so much of what it means to be a woman—strength, resilience, grace. Despite the challenges she faces, she retains this sense of dignity and poise that’s incredibly admirable.
But what struck me most is how the song subtly hints at society’s gaze towards women, you know? It’s like this subtle commentary on how women are both admired and objectified. It’s fascinating how it manages to touch on these deeper societal perceptions without losing its romantic essence.
“In Aankhon Ki Masti Ke” isn’t just a song that sounds nice. It’s this profound tribute to the layers and nuances of femininity—the beauty, the strength, and the emotions that women carry within them. It’s been on my mind all day, just appreciating the depth it holds.

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.
