I am Angry
I am Hurt
I am Furious
I am Disappointed
I am Shocked
I am Disgusted.
I am Enraged
I want to Act against this hooliganism.
I want to Hear their silly explanations.
I want to Fire the men who hold the throne.
I want to Disagree with their claims of moral fibre.
I want to Seethe in thought so that the reaction remains.
I want to Do what I can.
I want to Empathise with the ones victimised.
I will not let this happen to us.
I will not bear in silence this annihilation.
I will not be a mute spectator to these power games.
I will not let a stranger decide my life.
I will not blame the system but be the change.
I will not cower in fear but stand in strength.
I will not let 'his'story repeat itself!!!
Some incidents bring out a furor of emotions and a plethora of actions, gets the media into a frenzy and remotes stand still!
Does the nation awaken? Do people in reality become more sensitive? Are the dharnas and protests a momentary solace? Will the political party in government be politically right? Will the opposition use this to garner votes? Will the men view their rights differently? Will the constitution re-write fundamental rights in a gender bender manner? Will the roadside hawker stop selling chai to these goons? Will places of religious importance shut their doors on the miscreants? Will the fanatic fools finally leave us alone? Will actions like this ever face recession? Can society give the 'pink slip' to these self proclaimed moral police?Will the panel discussions stop generating news and ensure justice? Can the IPC undo the trauma of the young minds? Will the 'I am safe' and 'this cannot happen to me' mode young women come out of their slumber? Can someone answer these unanswered questions??? Or will this like many unanswereed questions die a death of apathy?

Good one...i totally relate to the emotions you have mentioned and it is truly "a death of apathy"..I eagerly hope all the questions raised will be answered and not just die down...
Indu
Sitting miles away from home..relate to this anger!
Loved this one the most..of your recently penned thoughts.
@Puneet: Let me clarify!!! Standing up for my rights does not make me or any woman in my place a feminist.It is basic human rights that i am talking about.
Yes!! all men kno they are stronger than women but women need NOT Believe that they are weaker than men- that is my contention- this is also in the mind.
U rightly said, "no one would reason with them let alone try."...sitting in the comforts of the cubicle, half the world says this and that to me is apathy...
we are safe in our nests...but we forget that we educated, civil and rational human beings can do our bit to bring about the change. It is beyond a temporal solution like a gun or a pepper spray. What we are fighting is the mindset...
@Puneet: Hmmm...am being optimistic and hoping that along wid ur solution, my hope will find reality too...
Good piece of writing... and with IMPACT
On the debate, actually I agree with both of you... You and Puneet
I think the reason these so called protectors take this stance is because they know there will be no retaliation, so if they were made to realise that it is not so, things would be different...
Also I feel we should protect ourselves and not expect others to come to our rescue... That would be true Women's emancipation.
