I've been in India for almost 12 years now. And living here, I always tell people, you can survive pretty much in any part of the world. The smoke, the smells ( in some places I should say stenches), the colour, the FOOD, the sounds, the people. It's always in-your-face. Vibrancy personified. Or in this case countri-fied. And I absolutely love it! There's always a sense of I-don't-know-what-the-frigg-is-going-happen-to-me-today. Which is most certainly a good thing if you have a thirst for adventure like yours truly. But some of the time, it can catch you by the face, the neck, or with regard to what this post is about, the butt.
I don't know WHAT men here get out of touching or groping a girl's ass!!!!! And to any of you men that read this and have done it to an unsuspecting female and further inflated your already big heads with pride for doing so, SHAME.ON.YOU. It's positively revolting! Instead, you should just feel up your own asses for as long as you want. That's one of the main reasons you have one!
Girls in India really need to be on the lookout at all times. Not just India, other places too. Alert doesn't even begin to cut it. It takes one second for a guy to touch you and act like he did nothing. Sometimes it is inevitable, say, when you're in a really crowded store or street. But when you can help it, here are my top ten methods of warding off perverts and the like and ensuring your immediate safety. Some of which I'm expert in, some of which I haven't yet had the chance to try but will when the oppurtunity arises.
#1 : Perfume, Deodarant or Pepper Spray: You feel a hand on you, whip that bugger out and go crazy!
#2 : Chilly Powder : An alternative. Must be careful. Don't want you sprinkling your own eyes in the process of attempting to ruin someone else's vision. Works though! Gram's idea!
#3: Elbows: Most of the time, men think we're stupid enough to know that we haven't even been groped or touched. If you feel you have been, elbow the sucker in the stomach. Or the groin. Whichever is accessible. But that does sort of depend on the height. The last time I did that, I heard a gasp and went on my way with a satisfied grin.
#4: Anything sharp: A pin, a pen, a compass. Heck even tweezers would work for those of you who have the habit of carrying tweezers around with you. One poke does the trick
#5: Scream: I'm not talking sissy-girl-just-saw-a-roach type of scream. I'm talking BANSHEE. This, however is only to be used when the groping or touching lasts more than 30 seconds.
#6: Whack him in the face: This ideally is a last resort. I've done it once when an auto guy thought I was thick in the head enough to not notice him constantly staring at me and then demanding more money than haggled. But I walked as fast as my legs could take me right after. So do this when there is enough distance for you to run for your life.
#7: Whack him with your shoe: Or even just wave it in his face. Worked for me. The jackass looked the other way instantly.
#8: Pretend you're calling the cops.
#9: If someone keeps staring at you, start picking your nose. Or at least pretending to. TRUST ME. No matter how hot you are, SUCH a turn off.
#10: Absolute last resort? Get him in the nuts. An extreme version would be to use tongs, grab and twist.
Good luck!
