The biggest question in India is Women’s safety. Be it a young girl or middle aged women, no one is safe. Each day we hear news about crime against women. What has happened to the people of this world?
Every time I read such an incident many questions arise in my mind, is it a crime to be a girl? What does the word safety mean for women? Only house is a place where we are safe or not even that? Safety is a major concern for ladies whether its the crowded metro or secluded road?

The abnormal thing that happened
A man followed me in the metro today. Mind you, 20 mins back. That is 8 pm. On a Sunday. Pretty normal right?

And then…
Stood near me in the metro on my route. Seemed pretty normal. A LOT of people take the same route. It’s not fair to pin point anyone.

The fear
Got off at the Golt Course metro station. Stood nearby, while pretending to talk on the phone with somebody. I was waiting for parents.

Reaction is Important
Into a shady corner at the end of the staircase. I push him away, slap him.And make a LOT of noise. I ask him to stop and so I can catch him

The “Drama enjoying” society
My father sees this. Gets out of the car and runs behind the man. Everybody enjoys the show. Happily and acts surprised. Mind you: only act.

The expert suggestions
Other people: Madame ye krtin, wo kartin.
You losers, when somebody attacks you: you can’t think. I did the best I could.

Safety is just a word
So yes, ladies. You’re not safe. Not even close. You’re on your own and there are creeps ready to grope you. Police and security mean shit.

Anger is the key
End note: I’m shaken. Not scared. Only and only angry. Women deserve better.

Was it midnight? Was she not wearing short clothes? Then what was the reason for this misbehavior? Should we stop traveling alone?
It is only us who have to guards ourselves. Stay alerted and stay safe.
