Recent news made me learn a new word. I
thought it was called just feeling it up. I also thought it was foreplay. The
media now screams molestation.
It was 9.30 PM. I saw her then. She was
standing near a footpath and talking over phone. Her shrug had just moved away
revealing a bit of her neckline. She was young, dainty and wearing strapless. I
was in heat. I walked past her. She looked tired and easy. I walked behind her
and groped her back. She screamed out loud and ran off. Ha, the pleasure of
seeing a girl run walk away. Unparalleled.
It was 9.30 PM. I saw her then. She was
waiting for a bus. I knew her bus route and walked close to her. She was on a
call and slightly looked up to see me. Her shrug slipped and I saw her strapless
dress. I was in heat. I walked past her. She looked inviting. I walked behind
her and groped her back. She held my hand and screamed loud. I ran away after
pushing her off the road. Ha, the pleasure of seeing a girl scream for help. Unparalleled.
It was 9.30 PM. I saw her then. She was standing
in a bus. She looked up at me and saw my
eyes. I did not like it. I glanced at her chest. She looked back at my
eyes. This time, with furious anger. Her
shrug slipped and she glanced at me when I saw her strapless dress. I was in
heat. I walked past her. She seemed bold. I walked behind her and groped her
back. She held my hand and kicked my knees. I fell down flat.
Ha, the power of anger. She exclaimed.
It is no rarity to be stared, touched, and
groped. It takes pepper sprays, safety pins and lots of anger to hit back. It
takes boldness to talk about it and scream. It takes conditioning to know it is not okay and it not acceptable to be touched by someone.I strongly believe anger and
boldness is the strongest weapon a woman should possess.
Absolutely. But anger too has a price :|
ReplyDeleteCertainly does. But I have never seen it enough in my peers in the right place.
DeleteI agree...I love the way you wrote it...*Salutes*
ReplyDeleteWell written... there is no other way but to hit back. Love the way you've shown the three different cases.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteTrue that. It surely needs a lot of courage to fight back.
ReplyDeleteVery well written!
Thanks :) and a shift from social conditioning.
DeleteAs always - Right on the middle!
ReplyDelete:)
Deletewell said..I couldnt agree more.
ReplyDeleteFirst time here? Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteNailed the point! Couldn't have put it in a better way :)
ReplyDelete:) Long time, hows youu??
DeleteFine Arch, yeah it's been a long time :) Anyway back now and btw I have tagged you in my recent post. Do take it up if interested :)

power of anger, well-preparedness and courage to act in tough situations..these are important life-skills that need to be taught to women today.
ReplyDeleteNicely put!
Thanks Uma :)
DeleteWow - checking back on you after a while - that's some good post you have! Kudos!
ReplyDeleteHeeyy! Do drop by often!
DeleteIts time that women give it back - men should realise that women who smoke and drink can also kick their ass hard
ReplyDeleteOh yes! That is my point too. Someone needs to show cigar butts will burn, whoever holds them!
DeleteExtremely well written! One could give a million speeches and not achieve what you have achieved with the imagery of your words in the three three instances. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteGrinning wide :) Thanks!
DeleteI could feel the anger and power of that girl, in me while reading this post.. very well written Arch.. I could relate myself to the incidents you have mentioned.. nothing can help except for strength and anger! Sometimes.. I feel the anger raging in me, what I lack is the strength to fight back.. for these animals (in the form of perverts) are too many.
ReplyDeletecould actually visualize the story.. a very good narrative and yes I do agree that in such a case anger is the weapon..
ReplyDeleteCan't agree more ! Those are the best weapons a woman can be armed with. Pepper sprays and safety pins don't quite as much do justice.
ReplyDeleteKicking in the groin does.
