Shot Dead!

Today I was riding the bus, when the conductor, standing in the ladies section, caught my attention – well, he caught everyone’s attention. The man was standing in the middle of the ladies section, with ragged clothes, the top three buttons on his shirt undone and communicating full throttle with the driver of a passing bus, with the most distasteful of language choice.

These are the kind of people that should be stood in a line and shot dead. They have no intellect, no taste, no culture, and as such no reason in life. Their sole purpose is to disrupt the natural balance of human harmony and stature. These are the kinds of people who prevent the human race from pushing forward.

I’m sorry that I speak of such people with such hatred. And I can understand why a person would wear ragged clothes, but not why he would keep the top three buttons undone. Not why he would have messed up hair and an unwashed face. Not why he would use the distasteful language that he was.

Then I saw a board to his left: “Respect Women”….

I find no reason for you to be sorry when you say exactly what many of us feel when such an irony stares at us every single day of our lives.

What is required is action - of which shooting to death is not a part. We all know what needs to be done... but are we ready to get up the next day and actually start doing it rather than getting busy with our usual individual selves?

If you're still thinking what that action needs to be, just know that it doesn't involve shooting, hanging, decapitating, shouting, moaning, bribing or mass-producing engineers, doctors or MBAs.

Go figure!

hey Naureen here password panga!
I can understand your anger Absar but this problem needs to be rooted... u know before thinking of killing its performers or the problem we must first realize why its done... all this disrespect and all. I go one step further to tell u thats thats not all they do . No i do not wish to u know criticize males or whateva shit! But these men harass too. in a lot of ways!
Now lets analyze why its done?! think of a small boy crying what do u hear ppl around him say? 'mard bano' 'rooti tu larkiyan hain!' and then they r burdened 'tumhay kamana hai!' 'be strong, be a man' I only know of these bcoz i have heard ppl round me say to boys all that. Little do we realize its long term effects. All this creates a feeling of craving for power in males... which is fed by all these acts at different levels. not caring, disrespecting women is all a part of that inner need for power! yes it is! its not just these men Absar its every man! believe me very few are able to untie themselves from this tangle! yes what they do is wrong if i were in that bus i wud feel like kicking the guy but we cant ignore the cause bcoz the effect is horrific! This cause is what creates domestic violence , sexual abuse and all! and of course the sort of harassment women hafta face in the work place. You know what i hope for... someday in my life i will open a place where males can come and sit and cry their hearts out becoz ppl there wont consider the ability to not cry - strength coz it really isnt! yeah its a whole chain! women are responsible in more ways than realized though they may not deserve this sort of treatment!
