“I got married, I am a complete wife, so what difference does it make to change my surname? He has fully embraced me, and I have fully embraced him, so if I don’t change my surname, will the evidence be weaker, or will I be seen in a different light?
I love everything about him, even more than my own name and surname, but still, I don’t want to change it. I feel that wherever I have built my identity, be it in school, college, or at work, if I edit it to add a new surname, people will not understand or will remain doubtful. I won’t instantly connect with my new surname.
It’s just a simple matter. There is no surname for Goddess Parvati, but the world knows her only as the wife of Lord Shiva.

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.
