Dear Nobody,
My mind is filled with so many questions that I thought I
better spit them out. You might not be able to come up with answers to them, or
maybe to some you could. In either case there is no harm in trying. So, here I begin…
Why do Delhi girls wear their dupattas like terrorists,
covering their head and face? Is it because they are trying to scare people off
or because they are trying to get mixed in the crowd like dust? Is it because
it lends them some invisible anonymity or because they don’t like how they
look?
Why is it that sex is associated with nights? Why only when
you spend the night out it also means you must have done that? Is it not possible
to make out during the day time? Then why is there such a big hullabaloo about
being out at night?
Why is it that people get shocked when a girl is out at
night? Why is it that the ‘night’ is owned by men? Why is it that good girls (I
find these words offensive, but I am making an exception right now) can’t walk
alone on the road at night? Why restrict our lives to the days and retire at
night?
Why do people keep pets? Why don’t they keep other people? Hungry
people, poor people, old people, orphans….there are so many breeds to choose
from.
Why is it that the very birds which we write poetry about
irritate us no end when they start living in our air conditioner?
Why aren’t there windows anymore? I shall not even mention
the ventilators.
Life is full of sound and fury and has no meaning. Every one
has heard that. Then how come everyone is chasing something or other always? Well
this is not making sense anymore. I shall stop here and now. Thanks for
listening my dear Nobody.

The question of girls hiding their identity and curbing their freedom strikes a chord with every Indian! Nice post!
Indian girls who migrated to the Philippines experience so much freedom and fun. There is no stigma in being out at night and having fun...
