Get a life people

Really upsetting to read about the "new year" groping incident in the news paper. How sad it is that in this so called free country, a couple cannot go out on their own. It wasn't just girls hanging out alone, they were with their partners. And even if they were with their families, if there is a mob of 40 drunkards coming towards you, you really can't do anything you know.

The other day we were having a discussion about this in office. One guy was saying, the girls are so provocatively dressed!! That makes me think, we still have a bloody Islamic mentality. If we are still thinking that girls should be clad in saris and burkhas all the time, what is the point in calling yourself a person from developing country. Its high time men in this country should realize that a woman is something more than a thing from which you can derive sexual pleasure at free will. They have a mind and brain of their own and they should be given certain respect.

The most surprising part was the reaction of the Police Commissioner. According to him, this thing was blown out of proportion. Would it still have been blown out of proportion if it was his sister or wife in the place of an NRI couple? Even if the culprits do get sentenced, the will be out in a year or two to live a new life. But what about the girl who had to go through the whole trauma. Her reputation is marred, dignity is gone down the drain and her life is basically screwed.

All said and done, if this is what happens on mumbai roads at nights, I or any other girl in her sane mind, won't like to be outside just to have that extra bit of fun. The city is slowly turning into a dwelling place of morons. Sad... Really sad.
