The incident.

Every other day there are thousands of 'women' and 'men' travelling by the Mumbai Local trains, up and down, day and night. I particularly mention women and men separately because it's not the same for both the genders.

So this last week I was, as usual, going home from work and walking my way through those over crowded bridges connecting platforms in the "peak hours". Suddenly, I found a man too old to be called young, trying to harass a girl walking beside me. She was hardly fifteen. I could sense it after seeing her getting uncomfortable and putting her bag in every way she could protect herself from that man. I was noticing it all and I'm very sure there were others too, watching it all and still as silent as 'humans' always are.
The way he was trying to touch her was horrible. I broke my anger and shouted at him, "uncle, khud ko control karo nahi toh gaand pe laat padegi". I'm glad a few men came ahead and started to beat him up. As soon as we reached the last stair, there was police. Phew! We complained them about him and then he was all theirs. I'm also glad the police didn't say,"FIR likhwana padega madam. Hum isey kuch nahi kar sakte abhi." There was a past incident where this actually happened and I expected this again but glad it didn't. The man was under their custody after getting beaten up by the public.
All my eyes were happy to see is that girl coming to me with a smile and thanking me and in reply I told her to make a start if something like this happens again. The rest will be taken over by the crowd of real men. She smiled back.
