And so i Thought and Said

People are such big monsters, some will keep committing heinous crimes, others will keep feeling outraged, none will actually act and all of them will collectively force me into inditing once again. So folks, Mr Tehelka Tejpal is at our service again. He has got "naughty" with a girl of his daughter's age or as he says, he has simply indulged in drunken banter. Thumbs up Sir! You really are funny when inebriated. The girl seems like a toy isn't it. And such a great doll she makes, the hot new barbie, right!! But should you play with dolls, esp when your daughter is one such too. Never mind, you have all the right too; thats your life and with the clout you have; everything is just a game for you. And its actually not wrong, the other day some men collectively played with one such doll. You see, dolls come in varieties, the one you just tried playing with is a posh doll; then there are some tribal dolls too, the maid-doll, the school girl doll, the office going ...

(This piece is written in honour of  the great men of this world who love to thin everything dishonourable for girls. Dear Men: thankew) {PS: Any reference to men here is for the men whose atypical quality has been notified above} The lascivious ogling eyes that can make any women on this planet shudder, I salute you. The unpleasant irritating gestures that make us women uncomfit, I salute you. The lewd remarks that are so remarkably passed, I salute you. The soul shattering blows and pushes we get while walking freely on the road, I salute you. All these actions that I just saluted defile the very existence of women by shattering her self-respect, then why do I salute them. The answer is simple, they made me immune to them and now I know how to react to them.
