Sharing some writing elsewhere

April 27th, 2011

While I work on a book review to be put up here soon, do have a look at these two recent posts, both up on the Women’s Web blog.

Strangely, both were inspired by events on Twitter, where I am spending some time to maintain the Women’s Web profile. The first was on an incident of under-age driving - when popular blogger Kiruba tweeted about letting his under-10 year olds drive. The second is really close to my heart; it’s about the abuse thrown at women who dare to be visible in public - do have a look, and if you are on twitter, FB or social media, please show your support in any way you can.

In other news, Women’s Web has completed a year. :) Strangely enough, there was no specific launch date, although the first bunch of articles went up early April 2010. Work has been so busy that I never even realised that a year was up until the end of April! It’s been a challenging year - a year of finding out how little I know about running an online publication - but it’s been extremely exciting too, and I wouldn’t have given up the experience for anything!

    Dear Aparna
    Congratulations!
    We will look forward to your experience of setting up an online business in the coming pages of Womensweb as a quality webpage specifically for Indian reader there are several other avenues. Indians work for website of all over the world but we really don’t have that many exciting lifestyle web portal for ourselves.

    The sentence about someone who let their under 10 years olds drive totally caught my eye and I read with increasing horror on how it was on a highway and the parent also did a follow up post on justifying the actions. I am always amazed by folks on the highway who drive rashly with kids on board but this one is at a whole new level!

    A year? It feels like it has been around for much longer. Great job done.
