I’ve and every women know this experience, only mines didn’t get that far to touching me but just treid to talk and I’ve heard that even girls at DVC get wierdos coming up to the school and dont even go there and try to pick up a girl in their car. It’s terrible to go through it and remember it. Very interesting and important for every woman and everybody to take a glance at this little brief story. now I know to stay close in public places and hope every do the same and be safe. Thank you.

Been through this when I was in college. Eventually toughened and took to carrying hair pins and safety pins, and umbrellas to poke anybody coming too close. Yes it was terrible, and thank God we had U-specials.

I have recently read a research article about this and will write about it soon. The paper talks about a college in Chennai, where there was a lot of eve-teasing. What they found was that the eve-teasers were almost always boys from the Scheduled Castes who for doing this for two reasons, no SC girls at the college because they are usually married by then and as a way of getting back at the upper castes for their humiliation.

The boys would rigorously work out, eve-tease upper caste girls and this would provoke fights with upper caste boys which would give the SC guys a chance to get back.

I believe in Delhi these kind of issues (caste is even more severe there) combined with a low sex-ratio make life living hell for girls.

This is a problem it seems, that is deeper than mere voyeurism.

You did a right thing-slapping him… Such things still exist… My friend had once yelled at a middle aged man-”Keep your hands to yourself” in the bus. He was so ashamed that he got down the bus very next stop.

I appreciate your courage that you have written on your blog…

Hey you have got a really good blog.Best Short Stories I have ever read.Keep up the brilliant work.

This story/incident is really touching.Really sad and depressing to know the trauma’s women go through in Metro cities or anywhere for that matter.People like that stalker give men a bad name.

As Manoj said you should carry something like a pepper spray or even better A Portable Tazer.Anyway keep up the good work.I will start being your regular reader now!!!!!

Good post to give the message. I dont even want to start citing the places where guys and esp middle aged men try to take pleasure!! even on train. As Suda says constant vigilance is required. carrying a spray or pin is helpful.
