Having been a proactive member of Safe Delhi Campaign for more than two years, I know how sensitive the issue of Sexual Harassment is....Given the societal construct, the onus of safety always lies on women.. She has to prove that she is not guilty.. .....She has to make sure that she is not wearing revealing clothes...Blah.. Blah.. Blah.. Blah,........The things in this list are infinite...
At lunch hour, we go out at a nearby restaurant across the road.... Its a closed complex setup and people from all walk of lives work here in different offices … and thus, similar faces can b seen sitting in the same restaurant at lunch hour...We generally go out in groups..I am always accompanied with my team mates..
I saw this guy 3 days back.. He is sitting alone on a nearby table...he had this peculiar way of staring..n he didn’t blink for once.. I noticed him thrice but ignored thinking that people here work in same complex.. he left before us…as I came out he came from somewhere n passed some comment ( that I didn’t hear)
Yesterday, I saw him staring from the window n than followed us to the nearby cigarette kiosk( kiosk is in proximity with the restaurant).. I felt scared…It was strange..it was weird…I thought about it on way back home..
The restaurant was packed today and only table next to him was available.. we had no choice but to sit there.. I ignored him completely…like yesterday, he left much earlier n than emerged at the kiosk again… he tried to stand close.. he didn’t brush by.. he didn’t say anything.... but the very fact that he stood close to me made me feel creepy…
Is it too early to conclude????…
My instinct says that he is an evil creature n I must confront him b4 its gets too late.. But , he does nothing apparent n visible.. I don’t think it would be wise of me to go upfront n say much in a so called ‘corporate’ set up like this..
