Vad!

How safe are you in Delhi? That’s the first question that comes to everyone's mind as soon as they start speaking with you. Since I drive, I’ve had a couple of stalking experiences and yes, it’s scary but if you keep your wits about, you do end up escaping that situation. Never really had the psycho stalker shit, well, online...that I’ve had quite a few. 

However, it’s rather annoying that men think that cheap tricks will help you get the girl. I feel it’s mostly about how they have been programmed by watching all the sordid Bollywood movies where essentially the subtle message is that girls like being stalked. This provides encouragement to such men who constantly nudge the girls to say "yes". It’s only when certain men cannot accept rejection, they act out in the most horrendous ways possible. 

So, I was at this event, listening to this group I admire to bits and there across our table, a group of men kept constant watch. I mean literally  two of those men kept turning back and checking us out.  You get that icky feeling when someone’s staring at you. Upon further review and confirmation by my friends, yeah a guy was checking me out ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAMN SHOW!

I mean how will just staring me down will get me to even bother taking an interest in you? I felt so violated just with his incessant stare. This wasn’t the end of it, the constant show of presence around you, trying to gain attention is like by-the-book shitty tricks. Either man up and approach ( which actually I think he tried as I was about to leave, but really got so spooked that I drove away like a mad woman) but I mean what’s this deal that you have to act like this? If you like a person, I would rather appreciate that you walk up to to me and talk to me without making me uncomfortable. Anyway, the entire night goes for a toss when you encounter such creeps.  Ugh!!!! 

But it raises a question in your mind that there are women who are not so lucky, there may be women who like this attention. I just wanted to have a good time with my friends, chilling with some good music and some good beer, but all I did get that evening was my attention and comfort being poked at. Not a great feeling!
