Desperate Men

Warning: Shocking/Appalling Content below

Picture these...

1) 12:30 pm on a Tuesday @ some packed blueline
bus to AIIMS.

A school girl is sitting on a seat that's towards the center of
bus (adjacent to the window seat). Lost in a novel that she
bought yesterday when she feels something is pushing her
shoulder from the right. She’s shocked and embarrassed to
find a middle aged man thrusting his ..... on her

2) 3:30 pm on a Saturday @ a cousin's place.

A teenage girl awakes from her sleep after feeling something
rubbing on her lips. Her half open eyes catch glance
of her cousin brother sneaking out of the room. Unsure how
to react she stopped talking to that guy and broke all ties
with his family.

3) 5:15 pm on Thursday @ the road from maitreyi to
shanti niketan bus stop.

A couple of girls are walking back towards the bus stop after finishing
a day at college when they start hearing weird moaning/groaning sounds,
after covering a distance they are sickened on seeing a bunch of men
............ while leching and flashing at girls passing by.

4) 7:45 pm on a Sunday @ some market in West Delhi.

A working woman is walking back to her home with her head
facing down and hands folded, reflecting how her day went
when all of a sudden three boys on a bike swoosh by her and
she realizes that something just hit her on the chest.
Tiny drops of water drizzle from her eyes ...

5) 9:30 pm on a Friday @ an office party.

A lady is tapping her feet to the music along with a couple of her friends
when she feels someone pinched her back. On turning around she finds
out it’s the same drunken guy who deliberately bumped into her few
minutes back on the same floor. Caught red handed, the guy tries to
run but unluckily (for him) he gets caught, receives a mild thrashing
from the lady and is eventually let off with a warning.

Perhaps Samantha was right(when in one of SATC episodes) she said
"An erect &^%*# doesn't have a conscience"

Streets, Public modes of transportation, Malls, Offices and
even Houses of people you know, these weeds germinate
everywhere but only when they find a prey they show
their true colour. Colour of that repressed and untamed
basic instinct which when in control effaces the distinguishing
line between humans and animals. It defies me how can
anyone(read boys/men) stoop to this level, the level which is
perhaps the nadir of immorality.

Try to imagine how things would be say in a city
like Delhi when one not to so fine day people wake up and
are told that there is no police or any other law enforcing
body........

How far could you stretch your mind???

Trust me on this, things would be worse ..........

Trivia:
Each one of the above mentioned is as real as you n me and
what exalts my pains is the fact that i personally know every
girl/women involved. I remember breaking down in
anguish a couple of times on hearing sordid details of these
ghastly acts and I don't think I'll be able to forget them.
