“Kaise janwaro ki tarah chadte hai”, well this is what that woman (not lady, she deserves no respect from me) said while making her way through the crowd, throwing abuses to all those on her way, looking for the seat below the sign, that meant, ‘for ladies’, in Marathi. Then she obviously made that mid-aged man, who probably just had his first breath of relief after standing for 10-15 minutes in a long queue, stand and sat there whining about how rowdy the crowd is (what made the stupid man think that a women would let him sit on a seat, which for some reason, is rightfully hers). Well, was that the end? Nope. Next she had to fight with a man standing next to her, who made her feel uncomfortable. Ok, I am talking about a bus, which I board while coming home from my office at about 9:30 PM (peak hour), a time when one is not bothered about the class to which the person next to him belongs, or the fact that his job is probably paying him more than anyone else in that bus. Most of the people are reeking and sweating, but no one minds it, at that particular hour of the day. Not many people are found talking to each other then, probably just too tired of all that the day had for them, heavy rains, job stress, the crowded trains, the unimaginably crowded station, which may take about 10 mins to get you on the streets for another fight to get into a bus or an auto. This is not a rare or an occasional scene. Every day is the same, for all, the men, women, old and young. I have heard enough of so called feminists; fighting, debating and rebelling without any good reason about them being equal to men. I don’t doubt that. But if it is what they REALLY believe in, why is there a need for them to practise the reservation set by the government. It is this government they fight with for their rights to equality, why not fight to get off what discriminates them? Not so easy now, huh?

I do believe that men still do unjust to women, but no one can deny the fact that women have taken ample advantage of the soft corner the government and the local public have towards them. I would think twice before getting into a scuffle with a woman here. I have seen mid-aged men, chivalrous enough to offer their seats to ladies, to which no one refuses. But never in 5 months have I seen anything happening the other way round.

Every time some girl on facebook updates her status with a public display of her meanness for her ex or any other guy or thing, you would see a bunch of her friends posting this cliche comment, “way to go girl”. What is it that makes you so proud of yourself? What gives you the damn right to ridicule men? (I am as furious as I ever was, even thinking about it). A guy ditching a girl makes him an asshole, but a girl doing the same makes her girl-friends proud of her. A guy over-loving her girl makes him a looser, but a girl doing the same makes her caring and sentimental. Had a brief discussion with a colleague of mine today who claimed that she wants space in her relationship and is waiting for a ‘right guy’. A guy wanting the some space leads to a thousand brows raised against his intentions but a girl wanting the same is her Right. I heard about this girl, who on her wedding hour asked this question to her friend, “Divorce is always an option, right? “. How many men who would marry keeping in mind the option of a divorce? But I am sure, you would find as many women as you want who would happily agree to this. Yet they want a guy to love them selflessly, be tolerant and faithful. I think they are more confused then anything else. Do me a favor lady(ies); please define what the right KIND of guy is. And hey, don’t forget, it’s the GUY we are talking about, not a DOG....
