#leadersfortomorrow #30daysofgoodness #day14 This post is related to the outlook, both men and women have in todays times. Try considering both the aspects of the story.... The man, who without doing anything wrong got humiliated and the woman who must have heard or seen 1000 wrongs that she didnt expect anything right. WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT THIS..?? :::I in the story is the man who shared the incident::: I was traveling in a really crowded city bus in Pune (India). Fortunately, I had a seat. All the city buses in Pune have 50% seats reserved for women. The left side of the bus (which is reserved for women) was completely occupied (by women of course). The bus approached the SNDT Womens College stop (Karve Road) and few girls got in. I noticed that one of girls was carrying a huge bag and she couldnt even stand properly. Since, I was traveling light I offered her my seat. She stared weirdly at me for a moment and shouted, Kay re? Line marto ka majhyavar? [Translation: Kyun re? Line maar raha hai kya? (Are you hitting on me?)] I was a bit embarrassed and replied politely, No. I saw your huge bag and thats why I offered you the seat. By then the other passengers had started staring at me and giving dirty looks. She shouted back, Dont try to act smart. I know what you meant. A few other female passengers (who were sitting) shouted something like, Arent you ashamed of yourself? Then the girl slapped me! I WAS SLAPPED FOR OFFERING THE GIRL A SEAT! I just cant express how embarrassing that was. I wanted to argue back, but I knew that, with the female passengers ganging up on me (along with a few male passengers as well) and no one supporting me (the guy next to me didnt utter a word), I stood no chance. I sat there silently for the next 10 min, with a burning red cheek and quietly alighted the bus when my destination arrived. That day I decided, I am never going to offer a seat to a women unless she is really old and literally cant stand or handicapped. This might be a very rare incident, but I have seen women exploit the reservations they get. You cant do anything you want just because you are a woman. Similarly, just because someone is a male, doesnt mean that he is at fault every time. Our view of looking at men/women must change. Submitted by Prathamesh Dalvi The content is owned by the author.
