Before you start reading this blog I would say that it is not intended to hurt anyone's sentiment.

Scene 1:

Roshini is alone at home. She is feeling hungry and she is not in a mood to cook so she decides to order the food from outside. She calls at the restaurant to order food.

Roshini - "I wanted to order food but before I order I wanted to know who would come to deliver food at my house?"
Salesman - "Mam our delivery boy will deliver the food at your place"
Roshini - "You dont have any delivery woman? You know the country is not safe for women; what if your delivery boy does something wrong with me?"
Salesman - "Mam trust us we do a complete check before we hire someone"
Roshini - "Trusting a man is next to impossible. All men are the same"
Salesman - "Mam do you want to order food or should I cut the call"
Roshini - "Yeah yeah take my order"

After 30 minutes her door bell rings and she quickly goes and opens the door. Delivery boy is standing on the door.

Delivery boy – “Madam your order.”

Roshini – “How much is the bill?”

Delivery boy – “Madam 200 rupees”

Roshini – “Wait here I will go inside and bring the money.”

Roshini goes inside in her bedroom. The house is completely empty there is no one else except her; she is all alone and her house is in such a location that if anything happens inside the house no one will get to know. Roshini comes out and pays Rs. 200 and the delivery boy leaves. Roshini calls at the restaurant from where she ordered the food.

Roshini – “I had ordered food at your restaurant.”

The person checks the number and finds out the details. He replies back – “Madam your order has already been sent. It would be reaching your place in sometime.”

Roshini – “I have got my order but I wanted to complain about your delivery boy.”

Salesman – “We are sorry mam if he did something wrong. We would fire him immediately.”

Roshini – “I wanted to complain that he did not do anything wrong. I was all alone at the house but he did not even make an attempt to force himself on me. What kind of delivery boys you have at your place. These day every where men are raping women but your delivery boy is simply useless.”

Salesman was confused he had no idea what he should reply back.

Scene 2:

Roshini is at office. Today she will have to work late night and so she has asked for a drop service to her place. A list is mailed across with the car details and people who would be travelling with her. Roshini checks the list and there are 4 other co-passengers with her; 3 are women and one is a man. She would be dropped second according to the list. After seeing the list Roshini goes to her manager.

Roshini – “Sir I have a complaint.”

Manager – “Yes Roshini tell me. What is the issue?”

Roshini – “I wont work late night tonight.”

Manager – “Roshini you know this delivery is urgent and we need to deliver it tonight. And what is your issue; you are being provided the drop service then why are you worried?”

Roshini – “Sir the problem is with the drop service only. First there are 3 women and next my stop is second one. I don’t get an opportunity to be all alone with the driver and the other male passenger. This is not fair.”

Manager – “Roshini are you out of your mind?”

Roshini – “Sir where men force themselves on women at late nights then how can I be out of my mind?”

Her manager did not have any reply to her question.

Scene 3:

A guy along with his family has come to see Roshini for marriage. The family lets them sit alone and they are left to talk to each other.

Bahadur – “You have anything to ask then go ahead ask me I wont mind it.”

Roshini – “Have you ever raped any woman and murdered her after that?”

Bahadur – “No”

Roshini – “Acha atleast you would have raped the women even if not murdered her”

Bahadur – “No”

Roshini – “Then you would have definitely molested a girl”

Bahadur – “Not at all”

Roshini – “Then you must have passed lewd comments on girls”

By now Bahadur has lost control. He replies back – “Listen madam if you are not interested in marrying me then simply say it. I am not a criminal that you are asking me all these questions.”

Roshini – “Let me tell you one thing that these day dowry is not based on the family background or educational qualification but the severity of crime committed by the man. For instance if a guy rapes and murders a girl then he would get 10 lakh as dowry; when he just rapes a girl he would get 8 lakh dowry; when he molests a girl he would get 5 lakh as dowry; for passing lewd comments or stalking a girl he would get 1 lakh of dowry.”

The way these days news related to rape and safety of women is being shown in media it seem that in future all men would turn into rapists. The candle march protests which are done with the slogan 'teach your son not to rape a girl' or 'do not tell your daughter not to go out tell your son to behave properly' or 'do not touch me my dress is not a yes' what kind of messages do these slogans want to create? Already girls do not go out alone at nights and with such incidents only more fear will be created for female gender in India. Things might be worse but concrete solutions should be found out such as women employment as delivery women; autos run by lady drivers especially at night; and many more such steps can be taken.
