Eeks is how I welcomed the Leap Year
It has made me cringe more than I have ever done before. Just the images and headlines that flood my vision are far from being a pleasant and hopeful one. I dare not ask why...I'd rather ask How come?How come we are no longer safe even at home?How come the only metropolitan city in India that assures so many young girls like me of being confident and living our dreams without any fear is displaying its demonic shades...

Or hang on was I merely ignoring what I didnt want to see of this city? Was I like so many others caught up with the pace in the city that I let that gaze pass me by....let it go unnoticed...???

Appaling. I understand not what pleasure can be derived of molesting a girl in public. Are the men so deprived in our country? Is it just in their attitude or is there more than that which meets the "naked" eye?

A mob of 70-80 men... 2 women...Does that not equal to a crime as severe as a gang rape. Should they not be flogged in public...errr....but who is the public here....??

The one that knows not how to treat and respect the 'fairer' sex...or then it maybe is the one that loves its deep silences as situations unfold in front of it...well no..I think it probably would be the best if I address directly to the moral custodians of the "culture" and "tradition" that is so inherent to our Indian Value system...Oh and just another thought...

Whatever happened to all the moral policemen...Oh I almost forgot...They'd rather pry over the intimate and personal momenst of a couple in love and proclaim their relationship "illegitimate" rather than pull their act together to try and discipline or even venture into a drunk mob of 70 men...
