Hi ,I am really thankful for the author to have explored this topic .I and every other female in India can relate to this. Good job! Enjoyed reading it.
I can relate so much to this article as I see this happening all around. I have lived in Delhi alone for quite sometime -travelled in busses, carried heavy suitcase while going home on train, at times gone to Govt office for some work.....and it's all there - the stares, the comments, the groping. And it makes the place so sick, moving about so unpleasant and the sense of security vanishing.
As of the long hair, my brother had it once. And people find it so hard to think away from the conventions. they just cannot live without associating long hair with feminity. They can't break away from conventions and think out of the box.
I live in US now - and feel the difference. People are free here. Infact they like to be different and they are respected for holding their unique personality.
Dear sir I am glad to see the new programme in your site and wants to congratulate you ,kindly make this practice up in future also . Thanks keep it up please
I become very happy whenever I read columns under rediff diaries. Moreover I usually wait to see new columns for days, weeks and sometimes for months. This is happening since october 2004. Since octorber 04, Rediff diary columns has put only 2-3 articles there. I dont know wats the problem the facing in putting articles, but I am sure many regular visitors feel very disappointed when then dont see new article for weeks and this sometimes for months.
If you are not getting articles for this columns, you can sure encourage readers to send you articles and I am sure your reqest wont go unheard and unreponded.
The articles usually put smile on faces whenever read. Sometimes overwhemly emotions, sometimes jokes, touches in very deep of heart....I think you have got the idea.. Thankyou in advance.
... and people wonder why we're so tribal-like when it comes to expressing our sexuality!
For the last time people, the mistake is NOT the intent, but the approach; the point is more about CIVILITY (as also, perhaps, effective law and order) and less about wanting to get with someone.
