Its a sad turn of events, that the video highlighting the bitter 'truth' is being banned in India, proving the govt to be hypocrites of highest order. Some unscrupulous so called male activist wrote this on a forum - "This documentary and the statements of Mukesh is scripted and it is evident from the way he is saying things. He was asked to say those things as he might be told that it would lessen his punishment. Those who have viewed the documentary intently would have noticed it. I have collated some comments from different social media those clearly show that the documentary was scripted."
Mind you, in some post of his ( which he has now deleted or I'm unable to find any more ) in his blog, he had once wrote all blah blah about how girls should not wear jeans/skirts to provoke men. If I remember it correctly, it was on some Mulayam Singh's comment where he almost agreed to mulayam's skewed views, justifying that men get provoked to rape if women wear western clothes, and that boys will be boys after all and they do make mistakes once in a while. I hence find him no different than this loony lawyer who is defending the rapists. And yet, he has the balls to say that the video is scripted.

In the video, as one person said - "They don't even show a bit of remorse. Hell, They say it was done to teach a lesson and that the girl should co-operate when raped. !! It's basic human instinct to close the eyes when the wind blows too hard. He asks the woman to ALLOW IT when being raped. That the woman wouldn't have suffered the torture had she allowed it."

In any case, this ban is clearly wrong, as there are indeed men who think like those rapists; for example: the above mentioned blogger, where he clearly once said the same in one of his blog-posts, justifying Mulayam's comment ( Abu Azmi made a similar comment too, around same time ). Many other politicians too have said things far worse. There are other so-called well educated bloggers ( some being doctors in their profession ) as well, who expressed similar views as this lawyer. According to them, the lawyer is right. The girl is responsible if she gets raped; and her family too ~ for they didn't care about her roaming out so late at night with her boyfriend. In fact, that blogger mentioned that his own mother, mousi, sister etc ( i.e elder females in his family ) thinks the same way too, as to why the girl was out so late. These people don't realize that - nobody has the right to touch anyone without their 'consent'. They'll do blah blah that boy's body structure was such that it permitted to rape, by God, hence, it was girl's responsibility to avoid getting raped herself.

I do think myself too, that girls should wear decent clothes as this world is too dangerous. But does clothes only determine rape? And even if one wears something skimpy, does it mean men are free to pounce on them without their consent? Anyways, even little babies ( sometimes infants ) and old women ( in their 80's/90's ) get raped too, not to mention that even women wearing sarees/burkhas are not spared either. I agree with Javed Akhtar and Kiron Kher's comments in the Rajya Sabha ( videos below ) wholeheartedly. This is the overall mentality of men and that change needs to be at the grass-root level. I feel women are also largely to be blamed, how they bring up their boy child - pampering and letting them do whatever they want, while reprimanding a girl child to do household work or stopping them from going out after dark/their education etc. As such, men grow up thinking women as their slaves, who shouldn't resist, if they fall prey to some scoundrel's lust. After all, they are crossing their limits if they venture out late at night.

From my own experience, the amount of eve-teasing ( from school days itself ), to groping, touching, obscene/lewd comments, being brushed-against intentionally, whistled upon etc, I've been through it all as though its a daily routine that a female has to bear. Who is responsible for the boys to behave that way. I blame their parents and upbringing solely. And more importantly their mothers. A child is most closest to their mothers. Given the right upbringing, I'm sure these boy would've behaved better. However, these boys are those types who utter MC/BC like their main vocabulary, which they learn from others around them or their own family elders, as a child.

When I was in school, in returning time, the neighbourhood boys ( not those from good families but rather the lower-strata ones - except one, who did come from a good family, but, hung around with them; he was my sister's friend's brother ), would all gather at a certain place which I regularly passed and would eve-tease. It was so annoying and scary too, that out of fright I used to take another short-cut, that ran through a hilly area. On knowing of my changing of the route, these guys used to then gather on that short-cut lane as well. That lane was more scarier as it was used less frequently by people. So, because those idiots appeared there too, I again had to take the normal route, and once again they'd sit there and eve-tease. I used to take tae-kwon-do lessons, and the boys would do those tae-kwon-do shouts whenever I passed by, shouting my pet-name. Till today, I wonder who told them that I did tae-kwon-do at school, because, it was a convent highly protected girl's school and there was noway those loony creeps could enter the school-premises and find out. So, some girl only must've passed that info to the boys, and there were several girls in my locality who went to the same school. Anyways, their eve-teasing went on till I left the city for good.

But in Bombay too, I've felt hands sneaking through many times, in crowded bus/train, trying to touch private parts. So many times people brushed against me intentionally, even in crowd-less areas. I once faced one guy who intentionally brushed against me so bad, I got shocked. Even though I had learnt self-defense, you are not really mentally prepared for some random stranger to touch you, and for a moment you forget whatever you learnt as it simply stuns you ~ the feeling of violation, that is. Two boys who were behind, also noticed it and commented; "usne jaan bujh ke jor se dhaka mara ladki ko". And that incident happened when I wore fairly decent clothes, not at all revealing or anything like that. Many others face such situations everyday. I feel very strongly on this issue, because, I feel these kind of people only turn rapists in the end. They have absolutely no respect for women. And the real mentality of these kinda men are being shown on that video. By trying to hide the truth, the Govt has done a very cowardly act. We face such situations everyday, Govt; instead of trying to show the reality, you want to hide it under the carpet - SHAME ON YOU!

Below are links to the banned video. Not sure if they are still working.

The above picture is from a news portal. The news talks about how a courier boy used to siphon away goods meant for delivery and ran an illegal racket, whereby he sold off these stolen goods. You'll think, so what! Nothing new! Such things happen all the time. You hardly take notice when it happens to others and brush it off. But when it actually happens to 'you' - it leaves you stunned & shocked. And this time it happened to Me! And boy! Was I stunned or what! The pictures below are mine. Read on, what led me on to click them :-)

What you see above are the entrance of Blue Dart office near my place. Never did I imagine, I'd have to go knocking at them one day. I've been regularly recieving goods delivered by Blue Dart for over a year now. The courier boy who drops the parcel is very familiar to me, because he's the only one who's been coming all these while. I remember, once when the door was knocked, I asked from inside - "Kaun hai?"
"Courier!" Pat came the reply in a rather impatient tone. It was the same courier boy. After I opened the door, he grumbled, "Kya madam, kaun hai kaun hai puchte rahte ho."
To that I replied, "Puchna padta hai. Kyunki aaj kal koyi bhi ho sakta hai."
Anyways, I noticed that he didn't like it, and since he was familiar - from that day onwards, whenever he called to say a parcel was coming ~ I stopped asking 'kaun hai' before opening the door. He also seemed to be always in a hurry. I thought that's maybe because they have to deliver stuff the whole day in sun/rain. He also used to come very casually, without the big bag that the delivery boys normally carry.

During New Year, I came upon ShopClues website. I was told that it had good deals. So, on 2nd Jan'14 I got around browsing it. I chose two items within a span of half an hour gap ( between each ) and ordered via COD. On 3rd itself, I got a call from the courier boy that he was bringing my parcel. I was bit surprised that ShopClues delivery was so quick. However, on 3rd when he came, he brought only 1 item with him. I asked him - I had ordered another item, had it not come too? Then to my surprise, the courier boy asked me, "Same amount ka item hai na madam? Ek do din mei aa jayega." Taking the money he was then gone.

On 6th around 12.30noon or so, I got a call from the courier boy, that "Madam aap ghar pe hai na? Aapke parcel aa gaya hai. Do ghante mei aa raha hu." At around 4pm he called me again to say he was bringing it. And in a few minutes, there was a knock on my door. I opened to see the courier boy. He had a hanky tied around his face. I thought he had a cold or something. He carried the parcel under his arm. But surprisingly, he took out his hand first and demanded, "Paisa do." Since I knew the boy so well, and was also aware of his rather irritated nature, I gave the money that I held in my hands. He didn't have any change, so I had to quickly give the change too, after which he finally gave the parcel and left in a hurry. I noticed, he didn't ask for the signature. Seeing his rather suspicious behaviour, I quickly opened the parcel. It didn't look like the previous one, that he had delivered with ShopClues packaging. When I opened, I was shocked no end. Wrapped in a newspaper, was a crumpled piece of old black cloth ( a churidar top ). I was aghast. It wasn't what I ordered at all. Hurriedly, I punched the two numbers he called me from, earlier. While one kept ringing, with no one picking it up, the other was picked up by a rude lady who said it was a juice shop number. I thought, maybe she was his wife. I threatened her saying I'll bring police to her place, if she didn't call the courier boy at once. Anyhow, after I was convinced that it was indeed a juice centre PCO - thanks to googling the number on internet, I thought of confronting the courier boy in where else but his Blue Dart office itself. So, again noting down the address from internet, I headed to the office.

I was huffing n puffing by the time I reached. However, the lady in the reception desk told me ( after hearing my story - how the boy had come wearing a mask in his face, his strange behaviour in asking money ), that the delivery boys had all left; to come the next day morning and talk to the supervisor directly. She took down my details. I also found out that evening, the number that was ringing belonged to a grocery shop owner just near the Blue Dart office. So, I was doubly convinced that it was him!
Early next morning, even before any shops opened, I landed ( at around 8.30am ) in the BD Office. I felt like a detective, hot on the heels of a most wanted criminal - solving a crime. The back door was open and I saw two blue dart men standing outside. I went up to them and told them that a fraud had happened with me by one of their courier boys. I also told, that I'd go to the press and make it all public. I was immediately taken indoors. At first I was reluctant to go inside all alone ( all males were inside ). But gathering guts, I went in atlast.

I kept my phone-camera ready, as I sat near the watchman and narrated what happened. They told me that the boy I was talking about ( ganesh or something ), was out on field. They called him in front of me, asking him to leave everything and come to the office immediately. Once he arrived, I could spot him immediately through the tinted windows. "Yes! He's the one." I confirmed, when the Blue Dart man asked me if he was the one. He was sitting behind someone in a scooter.

They took me to their inside office and sat me down and brought him inside, after a while. All the other Blue Dart staff meanwhile gathered outside the glass walls. Once he sat, I told him to tell truthfully to the supervisor ( who also sat in front ), what exactly he did, the day before. Of course, he denied outright that he had come that day. He even took swearing of his children, "Baachon ki kasam khaa ke bolta hu. Mai yeisei hi apne bachon ka kasam khawunga kya? Mai gaya hi nahi."
I told him, "Jo yeisi harkat karte hai na, woh kisi ka bhi kasam kha sakte hai. Isliye mujhe yeh kasam wasam khane ka natak mat dikha, aur seedha seedha bol tune kal kya kiya tha." He had the gall to tell me not to accuse him directly. To this I said, "Tere ilawa aur koyi nahi aate hai Blue Dart se, mere building mei. Mai tujhe aache se pahchanti hu."

Anyhow he wasn't ready to confess. Infact, his attitude was quite something. So the supervisor said, that he'll give the matter to the security people instead to handle. I told them if they didn't take action against him, I'd have to take myself - by going to the press, consumer court/forum etc. It was not about the money - Rs.590/- is a paltry amount, but it was about the trust and faith customers place on such a big company. An alert to them not to employ such thieves! They requested me not to do it and assured me they'd take up the matter seriously, as it was concerning reputation & trust of their company. They noted down the stream of events that happened ( time etc ). Later, when I got out of the office, I spotted the courier boy at a distance. He was shaking his head to himself as he walked away.

On 8th morning I got a call from Blue Dart office, that the security people were coming to my house. They had earlier questioned the boy and now wanted to cross question me. By noon 1.40pm they arrived, quite a few of them ~ 5-6. I narrated whatever happened. They took picture of the scribbles in the parcel that I was given and said that it matched with the boy's handwriting. They asked me if they could take it, and assured me that he'd be no more in their system. I requested them to do something so that he didn't get a similar courier job in any other place too. Cos' after what he did to me, he could do more dangerous stuff with others. They also gave me the original parcel, which I was supposed to receive. Since that day, I've received couple of more deliveries from Blue Dart, and true to their promise, that boy doesn't come to deliver anymore. Whatta Relief!

However, one thing still puzzles me ~ how did the courier boy knew the exact amount of my second parcel. Did he have a nexus with ShopClues? 'Cos the parcel started getting tracked mysteriously, only after the night he did that fraudery. Also, though it looked almost same - it wasn't the item I ordered. So, ShopClues vendors do not exactly ship the items they actually keep a picture of, in the website. I left a -ve feedback in their website, which never appeared on the site too!
