Desi Girl..

Its much more than being that priyanka chopra with a swelte body,thin waist, bare minimum diaphanous clothes in the name of a saree to be called a desi girl.A desi girl is very unlike her.Be it a grim looking woman who goes to every house as a servant maid for her daily bread and butter to support her alcholic husband,be it a mother who sweats everyday just for that incentive of seeing smiles on her kid's face,or that apprehensive young chic who is muddled up with emotions and grappling with the guys around her ;) or be it a girl like me(I come under a special category you know:P) who is known to be witty among her coterie yet can run around for silliest thing like a confused demented mouse.Its tough to typify a desi girl.

Only when a desi girl(all the above) steps onto the streets with a spectrum of emotions clogged in her heart,ranging from the responsibility to feed the brood,of running the house,closing the pending issues in the office,picking up kid from play school,texting a friend and yes just then a shameless disgusting guy passes by snatching your gold chain,scaring the hell out of you by hitting you.phew!Moving on..finally she reaches her destination, just then a car hurtles towards her and swerves just before running her over.The driver stops,just in time to cackle loudly at her and drives away.And yet she gets up, tries to muster up that strength and courage to fight back.In the whole process,parents no where fit into the perspective.Siblings divert the topic.Certain friends empathaise and cheer you up,while others refuse to believe the intensity of the situation.

I am getting a bit icky sticky emotional now.Let me Take a break now.As I focus my google earth to my memory lane and see how many desi girls actullly left their mark in my current way of life and Ooooo..it makes we wonder(:P) that the number has been shockingly few.So let me allow my heart to do the rest of the talking.

Mom: One who never tells me how much she loves me.Goes grossly wrong with facts about the world,politics,gossips around her.Shouts at you for your mistakes with all that rage of a lioness and yet cries within seeing you sad and devastated.Thanks,Ma :)

Sis: One who has seen you grow up from the closest quarters.I am lucky to have someone who is a password protected repository of all my emotional traumas,craziest acts,most embarrasing moments, etc.

All in all,what everyone experiences in the name of eve teasing might be over a spectrum of things.You continue minding your own business thinking everything would go well until you notice the auto driver adjusting his rear view mirror to get a glimpse of you and you shrug off by looking at the road.The list is endless and its only when a hapless girl is in no position to defend herself that the domination gets aggravated.

Disclaimer:This post does not pertain to any known shameless guys who do that nor is it for those girls who might derive pleasure in all seeking such attention!

Ok i should stop yapping now..

  2. You are right. All of us desi girls know of such low lives who try and cop a feel or openly stare with hungry-dog expressions. Time we all got together - all girls, boys, men and women who are disgusted by such behaviour. Only in unity and with laws that we make sure are enforced against them and not against the victims, can we defeat this behaviour.
