The below content is purely a narration of an incident and is not written to offend any gender and kindly excuse my language.....
It was one of the worst days of my life so far.. the day started fairly well.. i had gone out to finish some work with my friend and was returning home after a visit to the plant nursery and getting one of those beautiful samanthi plant.. i was driving at a reasonable speed.. when i had to take a right to enter into my flat.. i slowed down my speed to 5 km ... and just when i was making a half U turn.. i saw at a distance of about 5 m, a bastard coming in the opposite side at 45 km speed ...i instantly screamed asking him to slow down..he tried doing it, but due to his speed he was unable to stop the bike .. and it hit the front of my vehicle and the the next thing i knew was , i and my friend were on the ground.. with a vehicle on one side.. all badly bruised..
My BP level rose too many levels high.. and i started screaming in the middle of the road not really taking notice of the crowd that has encircled us(bloody typical Indian useless crowd).. everybody including the driver himself, knew it was his mistake..but he refused to admit it.. i did not leave him there, i continued to verbally abuse him(something which i have never done before in public)and i even pulled his bike and demanded him to pay me compensation for the damage done to the bike.. as usual the bloody f***** male chauvinist pig asked to me go to hell and challenged me to do whatever i want and walked off as if nothing ever happened..
i looked around and still there was this jobless useless crowd standing around me and gaping at me as though am a gorilla in the zoo.. amongst the crowd most of them were men
( at least thats what they call themselves), what shocked me was there was no single soul to support me in a neighborhood were i have been living for the past 20 years..
I am a person who always believed in women's power and never accepted the so called fact that men are superior to women.. (i still don't agree) i just realized that if i had been a man then things would have been different.. i would have either hit him badly or taken away his keys and walked off till he payed and begged me for pardon.. ( am serious)..just because am a women and because i live in a bloody conservative society i had to keep my fists to myself and walk inside, in fact even the abusive shouting in the road shocked my friend and she considered it as an unwomanly act..
That day i regretted for not learning karate so badly that i wanted to start right away (this time my mum asked me to go to hell)..
I walked back home, half in tears and frustration.. my father promptly gave a "complaint" to the police. its been 2 days and there is no update or any action taken against that guy...
For the first time in my life i regretted being an Indian.. i guess its dam easy in India to even a kill a person in an accident and walk off as an innocent ass hole.. i kept thinking how the same issue would have being handled abroad.. i felt ashamed to be living in a country where the law and order are washed away somewhere down the drainage system...
When i was blowing off my top and reciting the story to my cousin, he "jokingly" asked me to get a licensed Gun and try shooting such people.( i knew the comment was made to cool me down)..i had a good hearty laugh at the time, a moment later i was thinking "God, How am i ever going to survive in such a country for the rest of my life???"

Bribing the policeman at the station, while registering a complaint is probably the only thing that would've made him take some action in this case. Its a pity that things are still this bad in Chennai, in this age and time!
P.S. I came across your blog through Uma's blog!
yeah i know.. but unfortunately i do not remember the guy's full vehicle no...so was not really able to do anything abt it...
good very nice. used the blog to vent ur pent up feelings i tottally understand . btw if u dont scrap th "unwomanly" quote i supposedly told accord. to u i will have to kick ur butt very soon or start a anti ramya blog!!!!!
i thought we sorted the whole thing yesterday and inspite of tht u wrote this ??? never mind . have it ur way
U have written the exact feelings that went through your mind!! hats off for the guts first!! N moving on to the blog, I completely agree with you! NO matter how much these women fight for equal rights...these people will never change! --!-- da male chauvinists!
A simple management fundemental principle is " If u don't like any rule then you just follow it.. reach the top.. then CHANGE THE RULE "...
After seeing all these words uttered by you at the incident what you described, i thought that you have to overcome many 'firecrakers'( seriously thinking about an incident that prevent you from further movement)... If you are not able to overcome these hurdles then it is not an easyway to live the rest of your life in a dream that you meant to live for next 40 years...
MCPs or Male Chauvinist Pigs..are still around..rightly quoted buddy..
I can c uve used the blog to vent out all the anger..I do that too..I loved the wry humour in it.. -"That day i regretted for not learning karate so badly that i wanted to start right away (this time my mum asked me to go to hell).." " HAHA..awesome !!
I used to raise eyebrows to the phrase" the country is going to the dogs"...But now..I find it to b true..one small correction.. "the Dogs would ve made better rulers!" ... ;-) ;-) ;-)
நீங்கள் யார் என்ற எந்த விபரமும் உங்கள் blog-ல் இல்லை. "அழகாக மலர்ந்த மோசமான நாள், நான் சாமந்திச் செடியுடன் வீட்டுக்குத் திரும்பினேன்" என்று அற்புதமாக ஆரம்பிக்கிறது உங்கள் auto-biography அதோடு "Screw the Bloddy Male Chauvinist Pigs..." என்கிற தலைப்பும் சூப்பர்.
"i looked around and still there was this jobless useless crowd standing around me and gaping at me as though am a gorilla in the zoo.. amongst the crowd most of them were men
( at least thats what they call themselves)" என்று மிகப் பிரமாதமாக, இந்த இடத்தையும் கூடியிருந்தவர்களையும் வர்ணித்துள்ளீர்கள். உங்களுக்கு நல்லா எழுத வருது.
மும்பை தாஜ் ஓட்டல் தாக்குதலுக்குப் பிறகு, "நான் இந்தியன்" என்கிற நம்பிக்கை பலபேருக்குப் போய்விட்டது. கடந்த மூன்று நாட்களில் உங்களுக்கு வந்துள்ள sms-ஐ படித்தாலே இது புரியும்.
"what shocked me was there was no single soul to support me in a neighborhood were i have been living for the past 20 years..." என்று அதற்குள்ளாக உங்களின் வாழ்க்கை வரலாற்றை எழுத ஆரம்பித்துள்ளீர்கள்.
உங்களின் கோபம் முற்றிலும் நியாயமானது என்பதை நான் ஏற்றுக்கொள்கிறேன். குறிப்பாக 'bastard' என்று நீங்கள் திட்டியதைக்கூட! உங்களுடைய இந்தக் கோபம், எல்லா விஷயத்திலும் வெளிவரவேண்டும் zeal.
இதே இடத்துக்கு நான் வந்திருந்தாலும் வேடிக்கை மட்டும் பார்த்திருப்பேன். நீங்க அடிபட்டு விழும்போது காப்பத்த வந்தாலோ, இல்லை ஏதாவது ஒரு வகையில் உங்களுக்கு சப்போர்ட் செய்ய வந்தாலோ, "பொண்ணுங்கன்னா, பல்ல இளிச்சிட்டு வந்துடுவானுங்க" என்று உதவ வந்தவர்களையேகூட நீங்கள் விமர்சிக்கலாம். சில சமயம் நீங்கள் அப்படிச் சொல்வதில் நியாமிருக்கலாம்.
ஒருவேளை நீங்கள் தமிழ்நாட்டுக்கு முதலமைச்சராக பதவியேற்றால் எந்தப் "பன்றியும் எந்தப் பெண் மீதும் பைக்கை மோதமாட்டான்" என்று கூற முடியுமா?
'ஜெயலலிதா' முதலமைச்சராக இருந்தபோதும், 'லத்திகா சரன்' கமிஷனர்டாக இருந்த போதும் இது மாதிரி ஆக்ஸிடென்ட் எதுவும் ஆகவில்லையா? சிரிக்காம சிந்திச்சுப் பாருங்க. சட்டத்தை யாருமே மதிக்கிறதில்லைங்கிறது புரியும் நீங்கள் உட்பட.
நல்லாத்தான் எழுதுறீங்க. தொடர்ந்து எழுதுங்க.
India has its own problems and Abroad has double the amount of it
If one dumb male did this that doesn't define our country.
Filing case is crazy

pull the strings and get his address and get someone(uncle/relative) to scare his wits out
Agreed, he is an a** H*** and needs a fine thapad with iron boots
