"The city just doesn't bother"
The eve teasing scene in Mumbai is pathetic.
Everywhere you go, you are hounded by catcalls and lurid gestures.
It's very disgusting; no one is spared. In buses I have seen little girls
being felt up by men. Churchgate is the worst; there are many louts
hanging around. This city is so indifferent, they don't even bother to
acknowledge that some guy just whistled at a girl. Once in a while
an old woman probably yells at the ruffians. Everyone seems to
ignore the ever-growing eve teasing issue that this city faces.
