Ok, to understand the extent of my lamentation.. a) you should me a girl b) you should be a carmelite c) you should belong to the zoology department. ( all conditions are neccessary and blah!)
Picture this: a usual day in bangalore, a usual day for carmelite. But ah! it wasn't..The crowd outside the college gate reminded me of our famous queue of CUL-AH.. Fest! i thought . Yummy! But I was to be proven wrong. And hundreds of other carmelites too. And then we get the news, girls were being sent out of college for ' indecent' clothes.. ok question time. What is decent? The meaning of this term is so relative. What’s decent to me might not be the same for you. Girls were sent home for wearing a sleeveless, on a hot summer day. They were herded and tortured (by this time visions of the holocaust was rushing past my brain )’ lift your hands up girl!” I can see a millimeter of her skin below her shirt. Bend over, girl!’ echoed in the drives of our college. It was almost like the prize. ‘Find the most indecent girl and win a trip to Hawaii. Hurry! Limited seats!!!’ RIDICULUS!!! And that too in a GIRLS COLLEGE!!! And what’s this got to do with zoology department? I’m glad you asked. Question time again: from which situation has this line been taken?- ‘ .. And what will your mother-in –law say???’ Answer in the next post!!
