Back after such a long time, well by my standards at least. Kind of happy that I was away for so long….finally acting like a medical student. Any ways let me tell there have been so many things that I have thought of blogging about. But there just wasn't any time to write. The last two times I managed to come online were in the college library and in a shopping mall. Ok so coming back to issue I was on. I saw in a serial the other day, guy was shown sitting beside a swimming pool and getting excited on seeing girls swimming, loudly passing comments and he was supposed to be married. This was supposedly a comedy serial. And this was shown as a non issue. A if there's nothing wrong. Is it really true? Do people just take it for granted and move on? How many people out of those who watched would actually have felt offended? I don't understand how they can show such a thing so casually. It's not just morally wrong it's a crime. What would already desperate guys do a...

Read an article in the T.O.I written by an American tourist about her experiences in Mumbai's discotheques. It was so utterly disgusting to read this truth about our country. It really is. She says although she had experienced much more sexually colored pick up lines in the U.S., she was not at all expecting the kind of behavior that was shown in our country. There was groping and pinching and touching going on in every discotheque that she visited. Guys just took it as a free for all kind of an opportunity. She says that in a country in which there is so much moral policing going on, kisses in movies looked down upon, she definitely didn't expect anything like this. Now what do I say to this? This brings me to one of the closest subjects to my heart. I've thought about this a lot. I've been angry about this a lot. But still I don't know what can be done about it. This is one of the harshest realities in our country and one many refuse to accept. On my la...

Ruby:"I just felt strange, you know. The way he lent over with his hand. I felt uncomfortable. And also the way he looked at me that day. It was very uncomfortable. Or maybe I am just crazy, I don't know. Maybe I am just thinking too much." O woman, beautiful woman, what price you pay for your beauty...! So much beauty, so much grace, so loving and yet so brave. So sad for you, you live with men, not here you belong in heaven.

hi i am a 20 yr old guy from mumbai.this kind of made me feel passionate about. so here i am with my first ever blog. Guys just don't stop making me feel ashamed of being one. I never knew what all these women I knew have to go through. What a woman has to go through especially in a city is truly a big struggle. Every step of the way there's a guy wanting to get some pleasure out of you. It's scary if you think of it. Just imagine being alert all the time to avoid guys wanting to touch you in a way you are not comfortable. Every time you are in a crowded place, or may be even when not there's a guy making a plan to please himself. Being on a look out for guys who while passing you may jus want to brush up against you a bit more than required. Whenever you sit in a bus, watch out for guys trying to come too close for comfort, trying not to fall asleep in a bus lest you have to wake with some one touching you, whenever there's a rush be aware that there are guys rea...
