Je to ab manne bhi pata hai
The famous though copied line of Son Of Sardar “Teri ma di ,
teri pen di yeh to duniya ko humne sikhayi, is kolaveri di ki baari to baad mai
aayi ‘ might have got some of you roar with laughter or some restraining
themselves with a smirk but to a girl who would have spent considerable time in
her youth living in North India (especially if hadn’t done so already) the importance of ability to understand these
dialogues is what got me pondering over this subject . When I say above then I
especially vouch for the south Indian girls who were fortunate enough to study
in a north Indian college(pun intended).
What are we talking about here ??? Well I’m talking about
the mother and sister gallis (cuss words/abuses)that you hear(and of course other nasty things
that come along) with as much ease in north India as a recitation of Twinkle
Twinkle by 2 year old toddler Was it a horrendous
experience ? Very frankly -YES. Brought
up in a clean environment of “Ma’am- after-
you” kind of gentleman guys & polished
ladies you don’t realize for long what an
admission to a North Indian college can bring along. Few days in & the graffiti on the walls taught
you things which even a 12th class biology book was shy to. Growth
of the fear while walking alone on any deserted street which heightens especially
in winters or while sitting in a 6-seater auto, cramped with local goons, groping
you all over where all you could possibly do is just keep shifting around your
positions.
While I’m not trying to scare you here cause that has
perhaps become the way of life everywhere but I strongly am advising here to
accept it & better learn it rather than just shying away from this for the
fear of it categorising you as cheap girl. On a lighter side you would understand
these stupid SoS dialogues now , Anurag Kashyap movies will appeal much more to
you , you’ll enjoy Cricket (if you hadn’t previously) for you can now
understand the monkey story of India vs Australia match
But seriously (from my experience of change noticed on
petite girls of College) you become stronger when it comes to giving a stare,
complaining to near by passengers, raising alarm when one of the same guys from above showed even
the slightest nasty intention. If required retaliate with same language if that
is all it takes to scare him.
When you walk on those streets now you know how much precautions
to take or alertness to show cause “Yeh sab to ab tanne bhi pata hai”
PS: If I could make it "A" certified post I would cause the intention here is not to give gyaan to poor kids but for adults to be aware & self protect rather than flaunt your vocabulory of gaalis to enjoy with or impress your frens( I know for guys jitni gaali utna badhiya fren )
