We need more women like her in our nation.

Okay, so I am again in my terrible most moods.
But I do feel like writing anyway.
So.
Here is a incident which took place in  metro last week when I was going to Karol Bagh with my friend for some shopping. While we were sitting and having our usual girly gossip, we heard come commotion and noise from the seats in front of us.  As the metro was very crowded, we couldn’t see what was happening at first, after a while we heard a girl shouting at a guy who was clicking her pictures secretly from his mobile camera and the girl had caught him red handed. And my my, I must say wasn’t I proud of that girl, the young lady took stand for herself, snatched away his phone gave him 2-3 tight slaps and dragged him out of the metro all by herself. While the so called ‘MEN’ stood there and watched the scene.  A man, around 50 years of age, was even shameless enough to comment, “ek photo hi toh li thi, isme kya baat ho gayi!” (He just clicked a picture, what’s the big deal). I wonder if the same happened to his daughter what his reaction would have been.
I recently heard something nice somewhere ‘Crimes in our country happen due to lack of consequences’.
True it is.
That particular man would never again in his life dare take a picture of a girl like that. Moreover I think he would even stop carrying a phone with a camera. Because he suffered the humiliation and the consequences.

Some or the other time we get to hear of such brave acts put up by the females but rarely does it happen. Watching this incident filled me with a pleasant adrenaline rush. I felt courageous and proud.
In  a country like ours, wouldn’t it be a nice change to see more young women like her?
