Look beyond my physical existence…

Almost every woman, in the course of her life, undergoes abuse. Hey, dont get me wrong, I am not a feminist. But I am anti male chauvinist and anti physical abuse. There are people who think, “Why the hell does she even come to do MBA? They are going to land up in kitchen five years down the lane? These people are just doing it for the heck of it”. Some have even openly admitted these thoughts to me. I have seen articles that go on this line of thinking too.

Though my post this time, is not about women and MBA, I just cited it to show the stereotyping that goes on in this country at this growing phase. Though I had not replied when that person told me that I was going to land up in kitchen after five years, I just felt that, “Even after five years, I will be facing people like you, so I better learn to ignore the hecklers who cant come out of the shell of thoughts they are in”.

Having said that, I will return to the main stream of this post. Lots of blogs have written about this abuse of women in Mumbai on New Year’s Day dawn. Does that even sound human that 70-80 people pounce on 2 women and grope them? This is not the first. Here is more.

"Undo his designs by being wise"

The title is nothing but,an article from a newspaper i read recently..It was an article I read from The Hindu -Open Page Dress Code For Women
This was not about a woman wearing scanty dress,but how to pin one’s duppatta properly so that “decent men remain decent”.
I suddenly felt i had so much to say about this.Because I feel if decent people cant remain decent ,whats point in them being called decent.
I was having a lengthy chat with my friend in email about it,which i thought I should share in my blog.
