okay!so I'm pissed again..and this time its for a reason way graver than the things i usually grumble about...

i seriously have a few bones to pick,and I'm afraid this post might raise questions from various quarters...but I don't really care about all that...i wanna vent my angst...and vent i will.

I had gone to olypub with a few friends this sunday and on our way back home(we were waiting right outside oly for a cab)a uniformed D.I.G came upto us...called one of my guyfriends a bokachoda for no tangible reason i can reckon with.And while my friend stood on the other side of the road,completely taken aback,trying to figure out why he would be called one(bokachoda,that is),the D.I.G (or that's what he claimed himself to be)laid back,resting his arm on the jeep's bonet like a pucca bangali darogamoshai-sizing me up.

i can't tell you how nauseatingly disgusting it felt letting myself be expoited like that.and i would have shrieked my lungs out and created a major scene had it helped me in the least bit.

the point is,i have no clue why, whatever happenned, actually happenned to us.
For,number one,none of us were acting weird/drunk/unstable.
number two,i don't recall any of us doing anything remotely obscene...unless waiting for a cab or talking on the phone can be counted as one.
number three,i wasn't wearing anything vaguely provocative(i was wearing a shirt and a pair of ankle pants,goddamit!)
number four,it wasn't very late in the night either...8.30pm isn't late by Park Street standards,is it?
you could say my friend acted rather dumb(why on earth would he let anyone get away calling him names like that,you might say)but you know what?in all probability you would have done the same had you been there yesterday...acting smart before sick,corrupted D.I.Gs doesn't get you anywhere...

the same goes for me.doesn't matter how big a tantrum i threw once i got into a cab.or how i bad mouthed the authority all throughout the journey back home.the fact remains i couldn't do a thing to stop that bastard from leching at me with that cheap smirk playing on his lips.

i wish i really didn't have to think sucha great deal about what a bhodro barir meye should do and what she shouldn't.
i wish i could do something from letting corruption fuck our whole goddamn system.
i wish i could plant a tight slap on that fucking D.I.G's face yesterday.
i wish...

the system has gotten so wrong from above,there's no point putting the blame on the grass root.

behnchod sala!!!

@everybody....look..the point is this is the least i cud do to get myself heard...and ned i add that i'm overwhelmed at your response...
diviani...it DOES matter what i was wearing...that's the irony...otherwise you have people saying stuff like.."omon jamakapor porbe to ar er theke kii ba bhlao hobe"that's why...
at mayukh....i know kolkata is way better than the rest of the cities...but for how long...
@sen...you think a glare would have helped??
