But this is a problem faced by women everywhere. <br /><br />I am disappointed to read a comment by Ms Panag, supposedly from her tweet, that appeared in today's TOI edit page!<br /><br /><br />"Will be groping back at next marathon."<br /><br />They even say it refers to her recent harassment. I mean, a good pun is good, but does anyone need to capitalise on such a horrendous personal experience? I thought she was a fairly articulate and sensible person from a couple of panel discussions on TV.FVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-5898422309660590882010-11-24T09:55:31.145+05:302010-11-24T09:55:31.145+05:30The part where she advises women not run/move abou...The part where she advises women not run/move about on the streets of Delhi...that is just horrible. Though nothing about this story is not horrible. <br /><br />On a similar note, a friend once related an anecdote about how, in a bazaar, a little kid was making tentative attempts at touching her butt. She had a hard time bringing herself to set him straight, so tiny was he.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
