It happens everyday. Everyday is the same…I object when the person is very near from me i.e. in any public transport..but mostly they are in groups, like 13-14-year-old school-going kids..even college kids. They form a group and stand at a roadside corner and stare and comment at girls passing by.

Once i was traveling in a share rickshaw and at a traffic signal when the auto halted, a man pulsar was giving me very dirty look, i was feeling very uncomfortable. He was staring at me below the neck and he even started taking his tongue out, so i got out of my rickshaw and slapped him 4-5 times so hard that even his glasses broke and fell off. After that he followed my rickshaw and told me, “station pe utar tab batata hu.” i stopped my rickshaw driver and again got down from it and told him, “tu mujhe baad me batayega na mai tujhe abhi bata deti hu” and again i whacked him. I called a nearby police and told him. The policeman yelled at him and left and that pulsar man never dared follow me anymore….Follow swami vivekananda. Never run away from your problems.
