Pop, goes the weasel!

First let me make it clear that if at all there is a concept of rebirth and I am compelled to be a human being and offered a choice to choose the sex then I would choose to be a male again and not a female. We guys just have an easy life. No labour pains, no menopausal mood swings and probably not a lot of other things. Yeah some might suffer from impotency but then Viagra is there for rescue, remember? It definitely takes a hell lot of courage to be a woman in this world.


I was going home from my workplace quite late at night and stopped at the JM Road traffic signal. No, there was no one with a placard this time.. actually there was hardly any traffic around. As I was waiting for the light to turn green some 2-wheeler came by and halted a few steps behind me (later came to know that a girl was riding it). A few seconds later I heard a bike coming from behind at a very fast speed and then there was a THUD! sound and the bike, which had 2 guys on it skid a bit and roared away on the road to the left. Assuming that they had hit the roadside pavement and regained their balance I didn’t think much on it. While the guys were vrooming away the girl started mouthing expletives towards them. I was surprised in the beginning but then I thought it must be something personal so didn’t pay much attention. When I turned back again I saw her in tears (only her eyes were visible coz of the headscarf) and she was clutching the backside of her head and it dawned upon me that the sound was not of the pavement but those guys had actually hit the girl on her head. Though it seemed certain that she had been hit I still asked her whether those guys had hit her and she nodded while weeping inconsolably. A few swear words escaped from my mouth and I asked if she was alright and wanted any help. It might be quite tough to seek help from a stranger after suffering from (probably) strangers. She somehow gathered herself and realizing that I could not be of any more help to her I left and headed back home.


Yashita had posted a while back about the wanking rickshaw driver incident her friends had faced and now this.. I really doubt now that the recent articles in a newspaper that Pune is a safe city for females holds true. The article said Pune is much better as compared to other cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Now I wonder what must be the plight of eves in those cities. Such incidents do make me think whether being a man in the next birth is worth it. Men and courage/strength are most of the times co-related but I don’t think I could have done something to those guys if they had not driven away. I had never felt so fucking useless before that incident.
