The project aims to bring this to the forefront and change it legallly to "street sexual harassment".

Noone looks at you, noone bothers u, noone cares...<BR/><BR/>In Delhi u will be looked at even if u are in a sari, in Kerala u will be fingered regardless of what u wear...and in Pune, wear a spaghetti strap, short skirt and no one will give a damn. This place is sooooper cool. <BR/><BR/>I've also lived in Vizag and can tell u about Andhra... But I guess this much is enough...for now!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26320121.post-45299423139717610132007-07-13T11:06:00.000-07:002007-07-13T11:06:00.000-07:00Hey Raaga...reading your post took me back to Delh...Hey Raaga...reading your post took me back to Delhi instantly. I have lived in several parts of the country and about 11 years in Delhi in all. Men in Delhi will look and try that "Oops I fell on u" trick on buses, nudging in market places (been to SN market on a sat evening?)etc... But they generally do not go beyond that... Yes, Im sure u'd be mortified to read this...coz looking is akin to letching and its condemnable. But there are worse things I have seen happen, to my friends, in buses... There are worse things I have personally been through growing up in Kerala... Bottom pinching, guys squeezing boobs, flashing their private parts... I grew up facing all of this even as a school girl.... So Delhi wasn't much of a surprise for me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26320121.post-16901193620446753602007-07-12T04:56:00.000-07:002007-07-12T04:56:00.000-07:00Damn...Damn...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26320121.post-62162232192293232472007-07-12T03:09:00.000-07:002007-07-12T03:09:00.000-07:00Oh well Chill, life anyday is better in the south ...Oh well Chill, life anyday is better in the south than it is in the north.

I think you'd be far better in South India even though some staring still happens by people from the lower mental quotient. <BR/><BR/>From a guy's point of view, the men I've seen (including me) do steal fleeting glances at goodlooking women, including some normal glances when the girl is not looking, but I've only seen people peering into cars, autos( both men and women). Sad... Really Sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
