His days are lacquered in uniform
Without faltering does he perform.
His dreams go parched in that resolute world,
His marooned days vying for the daily bread gets whirled.
The balmy jingle is no more welcoming him in the morning,
His swiftly fading self is in the sour breath of mourning.
His disillusioned self fails to open up his heart,
His exhausted persona makes only himself hurt.
Unmindful of the rivulets of his days and nights,
The new shapeless vortex has devoured his delights.
In that incessant cacophony, he craves for his son
Amidst that endless pain, he loves the newborn a ton.
The wavering ‘network’ turns his face crimson with anger
The ‘hanging’ and ‘disconnecting’ v- calls fill him with languor.
Disheartened and dispirited by his banal entity,
He’s in search of something in intensity.
He lavishes his darling baby, a virtual cuddle
For his affection, the little cherub and the toys huddle.
In the bouts of strenuous monotony, he silently sails
In the shards of loneliness, he withers and wordlessly wails.
( When I tried to weave my Husband’s emotions through words)
Dedicated to Sujeeth, my chivalrous Darcy!

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.
