Why Silence?????????

For a long time i've been intending to blog on some social issue.i think most bloggers will agree when i say that when u wanna blog having something particular in your mind, you almost never end up doing it,most of the posts come spontaneously,when you least intend it and I'm in no way different.Anyways let me get straight to the point.Rape,eve-teasing are some issues tat continue to haunt our society.Ok,you must be thinking here comes an intense and emotional article tat's gonna make men appear more villainous than the amrish puris or the prakash rajs.Well, i'm not gonna sound like a feminist cos i'm not one.
This is about something,every gal who travels by our very own Pallavan bus, wud have experienced atleast once.No prizes for guessing, i'm talking about the problems which the fairer sex face from their male counterparts.Before i start, i'll make one thing clear that i'm not attempting a thought provoking article,i'm jus going to let out all the anger and frustrations inside me.It's a familiar scene, where a guy attempts to fall on a gal when the bus brakes, clinging on to her as if she were the only means to prevent his fall,making those black rods that were laid as support handles look utterly useless.
I'm going to narrate an incident that had happened once when my friend was taking a bus back home from a theatre.The bus was heavily crowded,she had no choice but to take it as it was already getting late.After getting her ticket,she was standing near the conductor's seat with one hand holding tightly for support and having her bag on the other.Suddenly she felt something running over her from the backside of her neck all the way thro her spine and then moving to her legs,she flinched and turned around to see a guy giving her a wicked smile.She was too shocked to react she tried to move away from him,to keep a good distance but to her horror the guy didn't seem to give up as he tried to close up the distance between them.Somehow she managed to get away from that rogue keeping the crowd between herself and that guy and to her relief the guy got down at the next stop.
As she told me about it,my immediate reaction was "you shouldn't have been silent tat rogue shud have been sent to jail" and am sure most of you wud have felt the same.But, my friend shot back saying,"And what's gonna come outta that,i wud jus end up reaching home late." I was shocked by her attitude.But,then it's not jus my friend i found that many prefer silence and tolerance rather than reacting to it.The other day i was watching Anniyan on tv,i'm sure u guys wud remember the scene where a guy, who misbehaves with sada and vikram hands him over to the police.Instead of being thankful the gal complains that because of him she's late for college and says "If one is gonna worry about all these then one needs an incubator to go to college." What a line!!!I was thoroughly exasperated ,now since when have we gals started developing such a strong sense of tolerance? Does anyone realise that tolerating them would only encourage them? Agreed punishing one is not goin to change the whole world but does that mean we need to tolerate in silence?
Apart from your comments,I want to know about your take on this ppl.What do you think is the best way to deal with this?
PS: Have i sounded very dramatic,but i already warned you that i'm going to let out all my anger and frustrations so i guess it's acceptable;-)

PROJECCT MANIAA!!!!!!

Well..first of all, I have to say (or reiterate) that this post is about "nothing" n nt very much related to the title. So, dont tell me that I didnt warn you, before you spend time reading !!
I guess you might wonder if this is going to be about nothing, then why the heck am I even posting it in the first place ?? There are quite a few reasons to it, the foremost being; I've been meaning to post something fr quite a sometime but fr some reason been putting it off ..Secondly, my hands jus woke up from its dormant state... Thirdly, when I say that this post is pretty much going to be about nothing, it gives me the freedom to scribble about anything...
Finally, you wouldn't want to know any of my reasons if you are attending coll(our IV cse 'B') and dont have anything better to do!!
N ya i nearly forgot ..HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL U GUYS..(guess am too early fr next yr!!)..Well yet another year has passed!!nothin worthwhile has been contributed(well who cares!!i don give it a damn)..I was jus readin blogs of some known n unknown people
whr i cud c plenty posts welcomin ths new year, tellin al good/bad things of 06' ..so i dun wanna expatiate much on ths.. Ths s our first post fr ths yr so its pretty much a welcome post...
So the last n the final "sem leave"of engineerin is all over n we r all bak to coll.. I jus realised tat last 3 days of college have been utter crap & sucked to the core..Empty benches..Umpteen project n placement hours which people seldom care to attend, boring subjects n even more boring staff in-charge who thinks tat she some kinda queen sitting on a throne..well am asked to collect the LEAVE LETTERS n OD forms which folks of our class(tat includes me) wud ve nevr bothered to giv in their 3 years of Engineering career..
Wit all these trivial things happenin around there s an added feelin mounting-
"THE PROJECT MANIA"..Well as of now ths project thingy is completely on air , atleast to an
extent tat our whole class is split into many triumvirates...n everyone s busy racking their brains to prove themselves to be the best software programmers.Thers a complete unity within the proj-mates...This "so-called" avalanche suddenly came frm nowhere n hit us so hard tat i can see a huge metamorphosis in me n many(which i don wanna comment)..Now comin to my part thr ve been some noteworthy changes..to mention a few-
1)i ve started visiting library nooks very often
2)i ve stopped "ORKUTting" and started "GOOGLEing"(i guess tat was a bad one !!)
3)i ve started stuffin the drives in my PC with so many PDFs(which r yet to b read)..
4)i ve made GOOGLE as my homepage..(tat doesn stop me frm visitin orkut n othr sites though) ...
anyways idellam "vettuu scene dan" coz i ve still nt gt the hang of our project..i know all thse are jus a NINE DAYS WONDER all of us wud again get back to our usual habit of vetti messaging,lon hrs of sleeping,too much of orkuttin etc etc..
so till then lets continue to enjoy ths PROJECT SAGA...

P.S:-this post is also a result of my effort to contribute to the project..i decided to write ths coz i am tired of giving all permutation of the keywords to find some fruitful information regarding the proj..i needed a BREAK ,a refreshing BREAK..so here I AM !!!
