I love long walks...I love taking long walks alone...It gives me time to think (and sometimes not to think)...to think about life, the universe, world peace, the ice-cream flavor that i love...My love for a walk extend to the point that I deliberately take distant destinations on foot...One day when i was in my one of those mindless strolls, a friend of mine offered me a lift on his bike...My first instinct was to refuse him but i couldnt bring myself to explain him my insane infatuation to taking long walks (even when the sun is blazing red hot above), moreover i am trying to mend my past forgotten friendships and also he is a bit sensitive so he would have been offended on my refusal, so i accepted...He dropped me to my hostel with many a advice on not to go into that area without any company as it was not considered "safe for girls" and how i can take a left and get a rickshaw to take me where i wanted to go etc. etc... I wanted to say a lot of things to him like i dont care if it is not "safe of girls" and it is one of my mad stupid whims to walk through the streets infamous for eve-teasers, alone, with my head held high...but i didnt say any of those things...I would be stupid to even think attempting to explain to the Y-chromosome species all of the intricacies of our mind and its thoughts...For one, they would never understand and for another, even if they do understand, they'd simply ridicule...
Gender prejudice is one topic that i may have to live with throughout my lifetime...and sooner or later i may even succumb to it...Girls should do this...shouldnt do that...wear this...sit like this...stand like this...There is no end to the traditional conventions that the society thrust upon us...And when some girl goes against them and follows what her heart says is right, she is brutally criticized, made feel let down and becomes a topic for sneering jerks...But i am a person who likes to break all conventions and go against the tide...As father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi, says "Be the change that you want to see in the world"...And as my dearest friend mm says "I dont give a damn"...
