Be There. Do That.

After reading hundreds of opinions, comments, views, ideas and obvious political quotes by people who run the nation on the recent unfortunate and shameful gang rape incident, here's one of mine.

I'm yet to figure out why this particular gang rape case shook the nation while so many such occurrences are reported every week. But then again, some day or the other, the safety of women in India had to become more than just a major issue.

I'm not here to say how atrocious the reaction of the Government of India has been. The only way to staying safe does not simply lie in prevention. Preparation asks for a fair share too.  Murphy's law, remember?

Face it womenfolk, you are alone. No one can help you as much as yourself. This may be applied for almost all cases and scenarios but especially so when it comes to self-defense.

Someone tried to grope you? Show that son of a bitch what an injured groin feels like. He won't forget that for life, that part of him won't allow of it. Even better! Humiliate him publicly (This one is for your own pleasure. You will feel like Batman at the end of it!).

Don't let anyone tell you that it isn't worth the trouble. We know the Government is messed up, the consequences; not too rosy. There is something beyond all that which will exhilarate you.

And let me tell you, the worst thing you can do is let it go. You will never be able to forgive yourself.

Store the numbers of police/women's helpline, just in case and in hope of never having to use it. Because really, if you are in a position to actually want to call for their aid then you know how pathetically desperate you really are.

All such incidents/happenings might not give you a chance to strike back. But when it does, grab it!

Been There. Done That.
