#Change

Here I would like to showcase a short story based on a real experience!

Characters: I and my friend
Place: Tea Stall

I and my friend used to reside in a rented apartment and we have a habit of wandering all through the roads and corners near by my place in our free time and weekends where we pass time enjoying nature around and taste all the junk and street special food placed!!

As a part, we happened to step into a tea stall and it is heavily crowded and covered with men of all age groups and not lucky enough to glimpse at least one female yet we determined to proceed and place our order!

When we are on our move to do it, we came with lot many countering looks posing us pocket full of queries as
1. How insane??
2. Don’t they have a home where they make a tea for themselves??
3. Ayey ladki…
4. Below dignity line..

We are really screwed up by the way we got addressed, In-fact in a state of lost for words types!
I and my friend have only one thing running on mind…
What really made everyone raise their eyebrow when a girl steps in???
Is it not a normal place where everyone can walk through ???
Is it favoured only for boys to chill out in such places???

Once if a girl passes through….How is it that easy to mark her character loose…Please don’t dare drawing your intuition on her skin…

Usually these common reasons quote the fact why girls are not seen in our corner end tea stalls!!

But boss…We are not regular who gets stopped when judged against truthless opinions…

we make a difference…Less concerned on crazy stuff which is not worth to buy at-least some nuts…
Not bothered how others think….Who don’t pay us for our cup of tea!

We continued to do the way we like….Happy to note…We are followed by other few girls around!

  1. Hi! Well said, surely it is time to change this, street harassment is a big issue and we should definitely not let ourselves be bullied by such men. Proud of you and your friend πŸ™‚

  2. Keep on doing it….me and my friend used to do that in early 2000s and you can imagine the look in people’s eye but we did it every single day and they got used to it. Sometimes its in our mind that we are being judged but honestly speaking nobody cares. So enjoy that cup of tea πŸ™‚
